About

A values-based approach to talent and organizational growth.

I'm Laura Henderson, founder of LH Consulting. I'm passionate about driving change and creating meaningful impact for mission-driven organizations. With a decade of experience supporting organizations with their talent needs, I bring both expertise and fresh eyes to every engagement.

I specialize in empowering growing organizations with strategic staffing plans and workforce designs that align with their mission and values. I've worked with organizations in high-growth phases who have had to restructure their teams while also being deep in their work — and I understand that this work involves people's jobs, livelihoods, and lives.

My approach is collaborative, organic, and tailored to meet your specific needs. I'll spend time talking to your leaders to determine how to best structure your team and how to best utilize the talent in your organization.

How I help

Organization Redesign

Evolve your organizational structure to support distributed leadership and long-term sustainability. I assess your current structure, identify areas for improvement, and develop an updated org chart with clear roles, decision-making frameworks, and logical reporting lines that your leadership can fully embrace.

Workforce Assessment

Comprehensive assessments to identify your talent needs, skill gaps, and opportunities for professional development and succession planning. I review job descriptions, organizational charts, and decision-making structures to give you a clear picture of where you are and where you need to go.

Strategic Staffing Plans

Develop staffing strategies aligned with your mission and values. From workforce planning and job design to restructuring initiatives, I help you build the right team structure to support your organization's current reality and future growth.

Recruitment Strategy

Design and implement recruitment strategies to cultivate a diverse and high-performing workforce. I help you find mission-aligned talent — from defining roles to creating placement recommendations for existing employees within new structures.

Budgeting & Financial Planning

Ensure fiscal sustainability and maximize impact with budgeting and financial planning support tailored to non-profit realities. I help you align your staffing investments with your organizational capacity and funding landscape.

Change Communications

Restructuring affects real people. I create communication plans for rolling out organizational changes to your team — so that employees understand what's changing, why, and what it means for them — with clarity and care.

Approach

Collaborative, organic, and tailored to your needs.

01

Listen & Understand

I start by learning about your organization — its mission, culture, and where you are in your growth. I meet with leadership and key stakeholders to understand how things work today, including formal reporting lines, informal decision-making dynamics, and what's working well.

02

Assess & Recommend

I review your organizational artifacts — job descriptions, org charts, decision-making structures — and surface areas of confusion, overlap, or inefficiency. Then I deliver clear, honest recommendations grounded in a decade of talent experience.

03

Build & Implement Together

I work collaboratively with your leadership to create structures and plans that your team can fully embrace. This includes placement recommendations, communication plans, and hands-on support through the transition.
