Welcome To Leading Impact Consulting

Transforming
Ideas Into Impact

Organizations have big ideas; Important ideas on important issues. Yet nearly every organization also has limits on capacity: many depend on volunteers, have few staff, and both time & money are precious resources. Leading Impact Consulting was born out of a desire to support more organizations in moving their passions forward. We add capacity that helps organizations clarify their goals, create practical plans to achieve them, and get the work done.

Who we are

We Are Passionate About Change

Ever have the feeling of just spinning our wheels, that we push and push and somehow it doesn’t amount to anything? It’s discouraging, it’s disempowering, and it doesn’t have to be that way. We’ve spent years watching incredible social and environmental organizations mobilize support around important issues, and we are passionate about turning that momentum into impact.

Our combined experiences in grassroots organizing, community-based research, and within the Legislative Assembly of PEI have uniquely positioned us to support organizations in their work to effect change.

Client Feedback & Reviews

Generation XX has had the privilege of working closely with Leading Impact over the past few years, and their support has been nothing short of exceptional. They consistently go above and beyond to provide guidance, encouragement, and direction offering that extra push we often needed to move forward with confidence. Their expertise and dedication have played a vital role in helping us grow as an organization. Through their support, we’ve gained valuable resources, built meaningful relationships within the community, and significantly expanded our network. What truly sets them apart is not just their knowledge and professionalism, but the warmth and positivity they bring to every interaction. They show up with smiling faces and a genuine passion for helping others succeed. We’re deeply grateful for their continued partnership in helping our organization grow.

Lacey Buechler Program Director, Generation XX

Lynne and Trish from Leading Impact put together an exciting program that took me to a new level of advocacy work. It was clear on day one that this was not going to be a typical course with lectures and note-taking and confirming information we already had. This program was like no other that I have experienced. It was a real, hands-on approach to advocacy work that challenged us and gave practical and useful tools that can be adapted to many different scenarios. I include their templates in all of my environmental campaign work and it makes the process easy to follow and brings more people in to help when they see there is a clear pathway to success. They also treated all of us with respect and made clear how much they valued our time commitment.

Catherine O’Brien Chair, Coalition for The Protection of PEI Water

Working with Leading Impact Consulting Inc. on our project planning and execution was like going from wandering around with a paper map to having GPS with turn-by-turn directions — suddenly we knew exactly where we were going (and how to get there without U-turns). They took our collection of ideas, concerns, and brainstorming sessions and turned them into realistic, actionable sessions that truly reflected our project goals. Professional, insightful, and somehow fun to work with — they’re the rare planners who can make you laugh while making you more effective. Highly recommend, unless you prefer meetings that go in circles… in which case, maybe not.

Heather Laiskonis Executive Director, PEI Watershed Alliance

We've had the pleasure of working with Leading Impact Consulting Inc. on multiple things including grant writing, workshop facilitation, report writing, advocacy efforts, and project assessment. They bring a rare combination of strategic thinking and attention to detail, consistently delivering high-quality work with minimal oversight. Their communication is clear and timely, their approach is proactive, and they adapt seamlessly to the needs of our team. True professionals who deliver every time!

Alexia Riche Executive Director, Community Sector Network

It was a great experience, and I learned a lot about going to a meeting of people and managing to discuss things in a calm and respectful manner. Lynne and Trish are experts at this and I admired their skills at working with a group and inspiring good discussions. I also loved the presentations they gave. They were orderly, well-informed, and easy to follow. And your ability to garner ideas from the group was superb. I can truly say working with Lynne and Trish under Leading Impact was a great life experience

Kathleen McRae Project Steering Committee member, PEi Fight for Affordable Housing

Throughout the project, I felt like a heard and valued member of the committee. The community outreach was also handled in a respectful manner where everyone’s opinion was heard and recorded. I’m very pleased with the outcome and would be open to working on another project as a committee member in the future.

Daphnie Griffin Project Steering Committee member, Community Action for Safe Shelter

Leading Impact brought critical, first-hand experience to the facilitation of our Climate Advocate Training series. Professional, responsive, and equity-minded, they demonstrated high-level communication skills throughout the project. Our organization looks forward to working with them again.

Sarah Outram Executive Director, PEI Coalition for Women’s Leadership

We have collaborated with Leading Impact on a number of projects. They are very organized and professional and enhance the impact of project activities. They have relevant experience and a well-rounded set of skills that can be applied in a variety of ways.
