When everything feels urgent, leaders need clear judgment and steady language.
I provide senior-level strategic communications and leadership advisory support when decisions feel heavy, messaging feels risky, and teams are stretched.
I work with leaders in nonprofit, public, and private sector organizations.
This work is for moments when decisions matter, attention is high, and getting the language wrong creates unnecessary risk.
You’re likely here because:
- Too many issues are competing for attention
- A board, funding, or public-facing decision is coming
- Messaging feels risky and leaders are hesitating
- Your team is busy, but progress feels scattered
- You need to reduce noise without losing momentum
This is the moment my work is designed for.
Leadership Messaging Reset
A senior-level strategic communications reset when things feel busy, risky, or stuck.
The Leadership Messaging Reset helps leaders across nonprofit, public, and private sector organizations slow the moment down just enough to decide what actually matters, align on priorities, and use clear, safe language with boards, teams, and partners.
What you’ll have at the end:
- Clear, leadership-ready messaging you can use immediately
- Agreement on top priorities for the next 30–60 days
- Clarity on what can wait and what cannot
- Early visibility on communication or reputational risk
- A clear next step leaders and teams can act on
Most leaders use this work to prepare for a decision, a board conversation, or a high-stakes message.
How it works:
- A small number of focused conversations
- Rapid synthesis of what’s really going on
- Translation of complexity into clear, shared messages
Designed to reduce pressure, not add work.
What happens after:
Some leaders stop here, having what they need. Others ask for custom advisory support based on what surfaces. All follow-on work is bespoke.
Investment starts at $3,500. Final pricing reflects the number of leaders involved and the level of risk or complexity being navigated.
Urgent Leadership Advisory
One hour of senior perspective when you need clarity fast.
For leaders in nonprofit, public, or private sector organizations facing time-sensitive situations and needing experienced outside judgment.
What’s included:
- One 60-minute phone call
- A one-page advisory summary outlining key pressure points, immediate recommendations, risks to watch, and clear next steps
This is advisory support, not just messaging.
Investment: $200.
If things feel heavy or unclear, we can talk it through.
About Abby McIntyre
"Abby has an incredible knack for capturing complex ideas and making them accessible and engaging for diverse audiences."
When communication isn’t clear, decisions slow, messages misfire, and trust starts to fray.
I work with leaders who are under pressure. Expectations are high, priorities shift quickly, and important decisions can’t wait for perfect conditions. The risk isn’t effort. It’s saying the wrong thing, or not saying enough, at the wrong moment.
I help leaders get clear on what matters now, choose language that holds under scrutiny, and align people so work can move forward. I step in when things feel busy, risky, or stuck and senior judgment is needed.
This work reduces pressure, not adds to it. Leaders leave with clear messaging they can use immediately and a shared understanding of what comes next.
If you’re carrying more than your team can hold right now, this is where I help.
Communication is about people. It is the difference between confusion and clarity, resistance and momentum, mistrust and trust.
