Bill Toliver | Executive Director
Bill has helped some of the world’s most important nonprofits, foundations, and social enterprise organizations reframe their approach to strategy, storytelling, mission effectiveness and resource development. He is privileged to have worked with organizations across the spectrum of social issues and is a widely sought-after speaker in the social impact community. He’s served on boards of both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and currently serves as chair of The Resource Alliance—a global nonprofit committed to transformational change in the social impact sector. Bill grew up in the developing world and his work is deeply informed by his childhood experiences.
"The nonprofit sector recognizes that Bill’s insights are revolutionary. After working with him you are emotionally and strategically a different person, a different organization. He is a lone voice. Very important to those who believe the future of our sector requires a new way of thinking."

Alan Compton | Creative Director
After more than a decade working in commercial TV and film in Canada, Al decided to devote his work exclusively to nonprofits and social impact initiatives around the world. His award-winning film, photography and creative direction cover a diverse range of social and environmental issues including healthcare initiatives in Indonesia, Ghana, USA & Ireland; social movements and education in India; conservation in Iceland and Thailand; child slavery and exploitation in Vietnam; disability, AIDS and albinism in Uganda; philanthropy in Brazil; mental health & refugee action in the UK and Europe.
"I have never worked with anyone quite like Al Compton. He is a world-class talent. More importantly, he is one of the most genuine human beings I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I am not sure anyone could have gotten the kind of material he did — from people who were dealing with the most difficult struggle of their entire lives."

Head of Marketing, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance

they made space for emotions, relationships, values and meaning to take over the process. Working with them goes beyond the usual consultancy —
it becomes a truly human experience"
