Afton DeVos
Coach - Consultant - Strategic Partner
As a nonprofit executive, I shepherded positive, trust-centered team culture and tremendous organizational growth to carry out the mission at an ever-increasing scale. As a coaching and consulting partner, your mission becomes mine: I equip you with the tools to empower your team and fortify your organization so that you can increase impact and bring your vision to life.
Every leader has natural gifting that, if nurtured, can be woven into something unique and beneficial. My leadership gifts include:
Servant Leadership: I joyfully put the development, well-being, and empowerment of the team at the center of everything I do as a leader. I love coaching seasoned and emerging leaders on the critical work of establishing values, building emotional intelligence and trust, and pursuing sustainable growth as a team.
Strategic Execution: I excel at—and enjoy!— intentional and thorough planning, taking into consideration goals, internal and external factors, and constraints. This allows us to then be optimally effective in the execution of everything from key projects to developing actionable long-term strategic visions and organizational expansion.
Empathetic, Authentic Communication: I connect with my clients as professionals and as people. I am sincerely curious - I want to better understand you and your team so I can provide the support you need. Growth and change can be hard so it’s important to me to provide both compassion and clear direction.
I’ve nurtured, refined, and effectively utilized these gifts over the past two decades. In doing so, I developed a proven track record of healthy expansion success which led to greater impact, employee engagement and retention, and quality of life for the team. You’ll find that my gifts deeply inform and are woven throughout my service offerings.
Together we can leverage your gifts to help you build your leadership strength, your teams’ trust, and your organization’s growth and impact.
