Strategic support for building economic peace in communities
I work with nonprofits, churches, and government agencies on three types of challenges: developing leaders who understand servant leadership principles, building financial sustainability beyond federal contracts, and creating partnerships that actually produce community outcomes.
My approach draws from managing $7 million in federal workforce funds, founding a nonprofit, serving on multiple boards, and teaching organizational leadership at the graduate level. I focus on what works in real community contexts, not just what sounds good in theory.
Most leadership training teaches management techniques. I teach servant leadership as an economic peacemaking practice, helping leaders build organizations that serve communities rather than extracting from them.
Your organization struggles with high turnover, your leadership team lacks diversity, or you're preparing for executive transition and need to develop internal candidates.
Engagements typically run 6 to 12 months and include assessment, training design, facilitation, and coaching for emerging leaders.
"The workshop on servant leadership that Dr. Humphreys put on for us was inspiring and transformative for my staff. I think more of them see themselves as leaders in their current roles, and are also figuring out what leadership will look like for them as their careers progress."

Organizations built on federal contracts often need help transitioning to local funding models. I help you assess your current financial structure, identify sustainable revenue streams, and build the systems to support them.
Federal contracts are ending or becoming less reliable, your board expects you to diversify funding but doesn't know how, or you're spending more on contract compliance than program delivery.
Most engagements include financial analysis, strategy development, and implementation support over 4 to 9 months.
Partnerships fail when organizations try to collaborate without addressing power differences or building genuine trust. I help you design partnerships that distribute resources fairly and produce actual community outcomes.
Previous collaborations produced reports but no community change, partners have very different resources and struggle with equity, or funders are pushing collective impact but you're not sure how to structure it.
Partnership work typically involves facilitation, strategy sessions, and ongoing support as the collaboration develops.
Each organization's needs are unique. Here are typical engagement structures:
30-minute consultation
Half-day or full-day session
3-6 month engagement
6-12 month retainer
Note on Pricing:
Final pricing depends on organization size, scope complexity, and engagement length. Sliding scale available for smaller nonprofits with limited budgets. All engagements begin with a free discovery session to ensure fit and clarify expectations.
