(Are we aligned? Are you ready?)

PARTNERING WITH PURPOSE

At Goodenough Consulting, we believe purposeful partnerships begin with clarity and alignment. Meaningful change is most possible when your goals and readiness meet our approach and values. This page is designed to help you reflect on whether now is the right time, and whether our philosophy resonates with your needs. By naming what partnership with us looks like, we hope to make it easier for you to self-assess alignment and readiness, creating the conditions for honest, effective, and transformative work together.

Goodenough Consulting is a good match if…

☑ You value equity, inclusion, and justice as core commitments, not just checkboxes.

☑ You’re ready to engage in honest reflection and open dialogue.

☑ You’re open to being challenged (as an act of love), even if it feels uncomfortable, because you know growth requires it.

☑ You understand that systems-change work takes time, persistence, and courage.

☑ You believe in centering the voices and leadership of those most impacted by injustice.

☑ You’re willing to invest the time, resources, and people power needed to make meaningful change.

It might not be the right time if…

⌧ You’re looking for quick fixes or superficial solutions.

⌧ You want validation instead of honest feedback.

⌧ You’re hoping for work that avoids discomfort or shields people from hard truths.

⌧ You want someone to simply validate your current approach, without offering challenge or change.

⌧ You’re not ready to prioritize equity work in your budget, time, or organizational culture.

If you see yourself in the ‘good match’ column (or if you’re ready to stretch into it), we’d love to talk. Let’s explore how we can partner to build lasting change, together!

While every partnership is unique, here are some ways Goodenough Consulting supports individuals, teams, and organizations in building more equitable, inclusive, and justice-centered cultures:
