The Aligned 

Impact Institute™

A 6-month, research-based, real-world reset for charitable foundation executives balancing ambition, wellbeing, and impact.

You don’t have to burn out to make a difference. You’re leading with purpose, but the pace isn’t sustainable. This program offers structured space to pause, reorient, and lead forward with more intention and less depletion.

Your impact depends on your sustainability. Define success on your terms. Set boundaries that protect your energy. Replace chronic overextension with strategies that hold up in real life.
