“As executive leaders, I know we are often starving for connections and nourishment. Working with Pearl Consulting Group is like sitting at a buffet of resources for non profit leaders. It doesn’t matter what you’re hungry for or what your organization needs, she will keep it fresh and help you serve yourself a feast so you feel more satisfied about the direction you or your organization is headed. I highly recommend Pearl Consulting Group.
Dionne, Executive Director
Let’s be honest, talking about racism can be scary. From not knowing how to start learning, beginning to face our own implicit and unconscious bias to bringing inclusion to your organization can feel overwhelming. I cannot express enough how learning with Noelani has meant to me. Pearl Consulting Group's knowledge and generosity in sharing ignited a curiosity in me to learn more. Pearl Consulting Group nurtures a safe space to speak about racism without judgment, ask questions openly and lean into the hard conversations.

Just so you know, the coaching has done a lot of good for my mental state about the rescue. I still fantasize about retiring, but I don't tell my husband daily that I'm going to quit. (that sounds grim, but I was tired of having to push non-stop and not knowing when I was right or wrong.

Pearl Consulting Group did not only excelled at the core elements projects for an organization and also took into account the big picture to manage the effect that extended well beyond the scope of their role. I would highly recommend Pearl Consulting Group.

I have such terrific news to report!!! The letter you advised us on was mailed out this past Monday. By Saturday we'd received so many donations!! $24,500!!! One check is due to come in this week, but all the other money is actually in hand. We cannot believe the outpouring of support.
All of us here, the TRAC Board, Advisory Board and of course myself and the Staff are so very, very deeply grateful to you for your mentorship.
We are going to survive this. More funds are coming in, so we are setting those aside for a full audit for this year.
I cannot say "Thank you" enough, for your phone call, for your help, your kindness and for being there.
Sincerely yours,
Wendy

Passionate. Committed. Dedicated. Genuine. In my over 10 years of having known and worked with Pearl Consulting Group, these words are what best describe her both professionally and personally. As someone who has worked in the nonprofit, education, arts/culture, and social justice fields for over 20 years, I have found Pearl Consulting Group to be someone who not only brings strong professional skills to her work, but who also understands that interpersonal communication is integral to engagement with employees/staff/board, and with the population being served, whether it is children and youth, or adults. When faced with challenges, they are responsive, not reactive. Pearl Consulting Group’s focus is to work collaboratively to resolve an issue or concern, for the betterment of all involved. She is adept at recognizing areas for improvement -- programmatically, financially, systemically -- and working towards strengthening that area in partnership with her team and other stakeholders. Pearl Consulting Group’s background, experience and skill sets are applicable across various sectors as they are flexible and adaptable.
