Imago helps create a world that works for everyone.

In business since 2002, Imago, LLC is an executive coaching and organizational consulting firm providing services to public, nonprofit, and philanthropic organizations.

Our work helps organizations and their communities thrive by transforming systems that no longer serve us into ones that do.

Imago brings a facilitative, holistic, and practical approach to working with our clients. We believe strongly in the capacity of individuals and the organizations they create, and know them to be resilient, resourceful, and flexible. We design and guide a clear process that ensures those characteristics are leveraged to create the outcomes you are seeking. To that end, our consulting, coaching and facilitation style works to foster full engagement, generate clarity, and create opportunities for clear and concrete decision-making and action planning.

Imago helps people and organizations become radically responsible for the gifts they’ve been given.

Our relationship with our clients is a truly collaborative one, with success hinging on the strong involvement of key stakeholders. We will work with you to create learning opportunities from challenges that may arise during the project and will strive to create a process that is fully inclusive.

"Our crowns have already been bought and paid for. All we have to do is wear them."

~ James Baldwin

This deep wisdom, along with the crown in the styling of Jean-Michel Basquiat, is the essence of Imago’s work. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for – and the wait is over.

The crown symbolizes the belief that the power to create change already exists within each of us. Every point marks a daily practice: step forward, own your truth, and create meaning.

  • Step out from behind the masks and make it real.

  • Accept what is and become accountable.

  • Create deep meaning – for ourselves and for others.

 

We know that systems can be rewired.
We don’t accept defaults as destiny. Instead, we co-design conversations and strategies that make new outcomes possible and durable. 

We aim beyond charity.
Relief matters, but it won't dismantle broken systems. We go for the root, reshaping the systems that shape us all. No more feel-good (to whom, exactly?) “fixes.” 

We don’t leave anyone’s identity at the door.
Human = difference. Real change is a braid of identity, place, power, and voice. Leave out a strand, and the whole thing frays.

Play is a serious strategy.
Humor disarms. Art opens space for what logic alone can’t reach. Joy keeps people from burning out. Serious work needs levity to last.

We treat the future as if it were now.
We co-design tomorrow’s world using today’s tools and choices. Futures worth living don’t wait. They are built.
