We help leaders ideate, navigate, and communicate change

Our clients are purpose-driven companies and nonprofits who have change on the horizon and want to do it right

They know that more effective and engaging change strategies can help their organization reduce its operating costs, increase employee engagement, and build long-term change capabilities.

We help our clients uncover and untangle challenges, design people-centered strategies, and create compelling communication that engages stakeholders internally and externally for long-lasting change.

From quick pulse check advising to make sure your DIY strategy is heading in the right direction to done-with-you long-term engagements, our mission is to help your organization achieve yours.

The leaders we work with care deeply about their teams and know that proactive, thoughtful, and strategic change is better for the business and everyone who works toward its mission.

What kinds of change?

Any and all. A few of our favorite projects have been in the areas of:

  • Leadership transitions and reorgs

  • Growing and scaling products and teams

  • Mission, values, branding, and culture defining and amplifying

  • Strategic planning and implementation

  • Employee surveys, assessments, and readouts

  • Launching products, services, or new areas of business

  • Return-to-office, hybrid work, and office moves

  • DEIBA and culture transformations

  • New systems, processes, and tech rollouts

How we work

Our clients need support defining challenges, ideating solutions, designing strategies, implementing them, and communicating with internal and external stakeholders.

Most clients work with us for a minimum of three months so that we can truly uncover everything we need to know to design impactful solutions that will get them a clear ROI, but we also offer shorter engagements if the needs are clear and budgets are tight.

We scale strategies up and down depending on the type of change and the size of organization, and our pricing structure is designed to support small and midsize companies and nonprofits who are working to make the world a better place.

Our approach to change is people-centered, scalable, replicable, and teachable. When it comes to navigating change, consider us part of your team.

No confusing jargon or clunky strategy binders here. The way we tackle change is designed for the way organizations actually change, and leaves organizations better-equipped to take on future changes.

And through our partnership, the leaders we work with become confident in their skills and ability to lead change at their organizations long-term.

What it’s like to work with us:

“Prior to working with Commcoterie, we had pretty open communication, but being a remote team comprised of both employees and contractors, our managing partners wanted to make specific improvements that enabled employees to share their communication styles with each other and bolstered our expanding culture of inclusivity and all team members feeling enabled to create organizational change.”

“Working with Commcoterie shined a spotlight on how I plan and deliver my communications to the team and provided easily implementable improvements. I embraced confident vulnerability. When designing an employee growth process, I asked the employee to indicate if they wanted to receive their manager's feedback first in writing or verbally. As a team, we acknowledged subtle and important differences in how we communicate with employees and contractors, and discussed the differences together.”

“Talking with Caitlin is like talking to an old friend. She is kind, funny, and gives you her full attention. We will absolutely seek Commcoterie out for additional support.”
