​Let's do good well.

Business Coaching & Consulting

At KC&C we know that you're doing meaningful work.
We're here to support you and your teams.
Let's do good well. 

Fostering Inputs

Leading Innovation 

Let's work together to identify actionable processes to get you where you want to go. At KC&C we offer Professional Development: Leadership Coaching and Action Planning for strategic visions, teams, organizations, or personal growth. We believe that success happens when preparation meets opportunity -- inputs are the preparation. Let's achieve more together. 

Building Outcomes

An organization/leader is only as strong as their ability to look ahead. At KC&C we want to come alongside the good work that you're already achieving and help identify opportunities to elevate this work and your impact. Through assessments, strategic planning/visioning, workshops and coaching we've helped organizations eliminate deficits, increase operating budgets, expand services, double clients served, and rebuild public trust. Whatever you're working towards, let's work together to build the scaffolding for a successful path forward. 
At KC&C we believe that strategic collaborations allow all parties to achieve more than the sum of their parts. Let us work with your organization or team to identify opportunities that will amplify your impact. Some concepts that we've helped actualize include Strategic Collaborations, Donor Stewardship, Shared Services and Innovative Operating Models.

 Meet Founder & CEO

April Dawn Knudsen M.S.

Picture
I am a driven, team builder, who creates solutions by making complex ideas actionable. I am motivated by learning, and believe that skills such as collaborative intelligence have allowed me to bring diverse voices together and distill the best ideas. I have lived, led, and served across rural Colorado since 2008d, and I’m proud to call rural Colorado home. Throughout my Executive career I have worked to strengthen communities through the nonprofit sector. Through these leadership opportunities have expanded services, moved organizations from a deficit to a surplus, expanded local resources/opportunities, fostered strategic collaborations, and brought in new funding to communities. 

I believe that a strong leader is willing to put in the work, ask tough questions, make data informed decisions that are guided by community voice, bring in outside perspectives, and operate transparently. Throughout my life I have strived to invest my resources in thriving communities through investing my education, talents and leadership into making good work more effective and sustainable. 


Picture
I believe that any organization is only as strong as their ability to look ahead. I design and facilitate innovative strategic planning and engagement processes for organizations.
I do this by:
  1. increasing clarity about which decisions are being made, who is involved in making them and in which ways
  2. make your vision a reality by making complex ideas actionable.
  3. skillfully engaging people impacted by decisions, strategic partners, and diverse expertise so that decisions are fully informed; and
  4. cultivating strategic partnerships (internal and external) so that organizations maximize resources and fully utilize the talents and skills of employees, volunteers, and community members. 

I want to come alongside the good work you're already achieving and enhance your efforts with the tools to reach new heights!
Reach out, and let's explore your vision for the future.
