About Aperture Work
Clarity. Stability. Growth.
Aperture Work exists to help leaders—like you—gain clarity in complexity, stability in transition, and purpose in every season.
Whether you’re guiding a mission-driven nonprofit, building a vision-centered business, leading a team of educators, or navigating change in a church or community,
our coaching is designed to support the full reality of who you are: leader, person, thinker, feeler, builder, and learner.
A Coaching Approach Informed by Years in the Field
Aperture Work was born from nearly 20 years of nonprofit organizational leadership. Along the way, our founder was challenged by a wise mentor:
“You’ll never lead well if you don’t learn to prioritize your time.”
That challenge led to a hunger for leadership wisdom—starting with Ken Blanchard’s On Time, On Target Manager
and growing into years of study on leadership, organizational behavior, emotional health, and team culture.
Books by Blanchard, Patrick Lencioni, and Jocko Willink, The Arbinger Institute (and many others) shaped a practical foundation, while decades of pastoral counseling and volunteer leadership
grounded that foundation in empathy, humility, and deep listening. From startup ministries to seasoned nonprofits,
from solo founders to overwhelmed executive teams—we’ve walked alongside many kinds of leaders, learning how to care for both people and purpose.
Today, Aperture Work serves individuals and organizations across disciplines: business leaders, development managers, authors, educators, spiritual leaders, and more.
