Tackling our dreams

“As a not-for-profit, we struggled with our program’s financial feasibility, while also providing the best value and impact to our stakeholders. With the help of Purppl we put together a comprehensive plan to maintain our core program vision and objectives, while developing a sustainable long term funding model. It was a pleasure to work with the Purppl team and we most certainly will be working with them in the future when the opportunity arises.”

Working with a patient team

” I appreciated the diversity of skill sets and experience within the Purppl team, and their considerable sensitivity to the dynamics present in our project. I think we learned a lot together, and I trusted them to put my team on a path where we could all see improved results as the destination. This work takes time and patience, and Purppl walked alongside until the path got clearer.”

Solving tough problems

“Purppl rolls up their sleeves and gets into the mess to help solve tough problems. They do more than provide advice. The Purppl team’s rich, practical experience and know-how helped us navigate our most difficult challenges, identify blind spots, plan, and most importantly execute. I never felt like i was working with a consultant, I felt like I had mentors and partners who were in it with me.”

Building confidence

“We always feel better when we come out of a coaching meeting, even if we didn’t feel prepped or good about ourselves going in.  Purppl always meets us where they’re at – a big plus point”
