Helping organizations flourish.

Hello, I’m Josh Stelly

Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you're here because it shows you care about building something better in your organization—and that's exactly the kind of work that excites me.

I bring a unique mix of pastoral wisdom and strategic leadership to organizational consulting, but what that really means is this: I've spent over twenty years learning how to help people and organizations become the best versions of themselves. I have extensive experience in non-profit management and board leadership, and honestly, there's nothing I love more than seeing organizations change from places people just endure into places where they truly thrive.

Here's what I've learned from my background as a pastor and organizational leader—the core of any successful organization isn't in the strategic plan or the org chart. It's in the people and the culture you build together. I've seen how toxic environments can crush even the noblest missions, but I've also witnessed something incredible: when you get the culture right, healthy organizations can accomplish things that once seemed impossible.

My approach is pretty simple. I believe every organization—including yours—has remarkable potential just waiting to be unlocked. You can become a place where individuals flourish, where teams genuinely enjoy working together, and where important work is done with both excellence and real joy. My years in non-profit management have taught me about the real challenges you face: limited resources, complex stakeholder relationships, and the ongoing effort to keep everyone aligned around the mission.

As someone who's served on boards for over 15 years, I understand the distinct tension between governance and operations. I know how frustrating it can be when board-level vision doesn't translate into daily action. That's why I focus on ensuring organizational health reaches all levels of leadership—from the boardroom to the break room.

Whether you're leading an established non-profit that needs renewal, building something new from scratch, or guiding your team through a tough transition, I'm here to walk alongside you. My commitment is simple: we'll create lasting change that honors your mission and the people who dedicate themselves to serving it.

What drives me every day is seeing organizations become places where dedicated people genuinely want to give their best work—places where that good work can thrive and truly make a difference in the world.

So, are you ready to build something healthier and more thriving together? I'd love to start that conversation with you.
