Collective Brilliance.
Independent Minds.
Together shaping a new way to drive meaningful impact.
A global community of 100+ senior professionals.
Strategists, coaches, consultants, systems thinkers, artists, facilitators, researchers, creatives, domain experts.
Coming together based on shared values and purpose to support senior leaders building a better world.
When you need external support you could hire a consulting firm or freelancer. But mobilising this type of support requires crystal clarity on the issue to solve for and money you don't always have. Too often impact leaders end up having the figuring the most important things out alone - in the margins, between everything else.
The Meaningful Work Collective provides a different way. When you need a input on a real challenge, or to stress test your thinking, you don't need a proposal. You not only need a conversation with someone gets you and your content, and can help you get unstuck. More often, you need to engage with several people, bringing different perspetives, insights and ideas.
WHY WE EXIST
Leading an impact organisation is hard. Getting the right support shouldn't be.
Most people start with one and end up using both. Expert support is for when you have something defined. The membership is for everything in between. Together, they cover most of what a senior impact leader actually needs.
2. Join the club
Access to the right expert when you need insights, ideas or sounding board fast.
For leaders who want ongoing access to sharp thinking, without commissioning something every time. A sustained relationship with Ian, Dee, and the people around us.
Membership ranges from $950 to $1950 per month
Tiered to make it accessible.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Two ways to work with us.
1. Share your brief
Project based support from senior advisors when you have a defined challenge.
When you can name what you need, be that in a well crafted ToR or just through a conversation, we find the right person or people to help you out.
Sometimes it's one person. Sometimes it's a small team.
We'll work out the shape with you.
In both cases providing senior people who have been there and done it.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for the people
building a better world.
Senior leaders in NGOs, foundations, social enterprises, and mission-led organisations. People who have been around long enough to know what good looks like - and who want support that matches that standard.
MWC is not a typical platform. MWC is something different. It starts with a conversation - not a form to fill or a website to search. It's for those who know who value insights and ideas from people with extensive lived experience.
When you reach out to MWC, you talk to one of us. We've spent our careers working with and inside organisations that exist to make a difference - across six continents, from global NGOs to social enterprises to foundations to governments. We built this collective because we believe in what's possible when the right people find each other.
We take time to understand what you're really grappling with - not just the presenting challenge, but the context around it, the constraints you're working within, and what a good outcome actually looks like for you and your organisation. Then we find the right people to help you and we stay close, until the the work is done and beyond that, as the relationship builds.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS
Ian and Dee with you.
From issue to outcome.
Get started
The first step is just a conversation.
No forms. No pitches. Just Ian or Dee, 30 minutes, and an honest conversation about your organisation and what you're trying to do. We'll tell you whether and how we can help - and if it's not the right fit, we'll say so.
