Support to shape your way forward.

How Another Way Helps

Another Way helps nonprofits build brands people believe in and teams where people thrive by ensuring their communications, inside and out, advance the change they strive for and uphold the values they stand for.

Organizations often focus on one side or the other: strengthening what people believe about them externally or how people experience them internally. Another Way brings the two together because each shapes the credibility of the other, reinforcing it when they align and undermining it when they don’t.

Services: Ways to Work Together

Assessment & Strategy

Get a clear picture of what's working, where things aren't lining up, and why. Then build a path forward that fits your reality and helps you reach your goals while living out your values.
Training & Facilitation

Build your team’s skills and confidence to tell your story, speak for your organization, and communicate with clarity and care, in a supportive space where it’s safe to practice and learn. Facilitated conversations create that same kind of space for leadership teams and staff alike to work through what matters most, together.
Strategic Advisory

Enlist a trusted thought partner for leaders navigating tough questions around communications, culture, leadership, or trust. Regular one-on-one conversations offer space to untangle challenges, pressure-test your thinking, grow your confidence, and find a path you believe in.
Hands-On Support

Add expert communications capacity where and when you need it most. Working alongside your team and existing leaders, Another Way can manage high-profile opportunities, drive key initiatives, gather stories and develop content, or provide other support to keep important work on track, whether for specific projects or on an ongoing basis.
Fractional Leadership

Access experienced, executive-level leadership on a part-time basis, scoped to your needs. As your fractional Chief Communications Officer, Another Way joins your leadership team, setting strategy, guiding your team, and taking ownership of results as part of your organization rather than from the outside. It’s a strong fit if you’re working within budget limits, bridging a leadership gap, or growing your communications function. And if you decide to build a permanent function down the line, Another Way can help with that too.

Common Challenges, Custom Solutions

No two engagements look the same. Each one is built around your organization's needs, goals, and reality. The examples below show how Another Way’s focus areas and services can come together to address common challenges with a tailored approach.

Clarify what your organization stands for, what people need to understand about the change you create, and how that should come through in your communications. This can include visibility and credibility assessment, messaging and positioning, brand voice and guidance, support embedding the changes across your organization, and training to help your team communicate with greater consistency and confidence.
Tell compelling stories that show your impact without losing sight of the people whose lives and experiences make those stories possible. Support can include developing your organization’s ethical storytelling strategy, guidelines, and protocols, covering everything from imagery to informed consent and content capture, as well as storytelling frameworks and team training. Another Way can also gather and produce stories for you, from identifying contributors and conducting interviews to capturing photos and short video clips, story writing and editing, contributor review, and final assets ready to publish on web and social.
Help senior leaders and subject matter experts turn their perspectives into a stronger public voice for your organization. Another Way can help identify the ideas and issues they’re best positioned to lead on, sharpen messaging, shape a thought-leadership strategy, prepare for media and speaking opportunities, and build a broader bench of credible organizational spokespeople.
Make sure a major opportunity results in high-quality work that reflects your organization's goals, values, and standards while delivering real value for you and any partners involved. Another Way can assess brand fit and clarify shared messaging with partners, provide senior oversight across planning and production, establish shared expectations and ethical standards, prepare partners and participants, and be on location when needed. Projects have included corporate partnership and campaign activations, film and photography shoots, and media opportunities.
Prepare before the stakes are high. This can include identifying communications and reputational risks, clarifying roles and decision-making, developing a crisis communications plan and an easy-to-use playbook for staff, drafting statements for likely crises and ready responses for known sensitive issues, preparing spokespeople, and training teams through simulations and tabletop exercises, so you can respond quickly, confidently, and in line with your values, even under pressure.
When trust, morale, or culture has started to fray, uncover what people are actually experiencing and where stated values and lived reality may be falling out of step. Support can combine listening, culture assessment, leadership advisory, facilitated conversations, and a practical path toward rebuilding trust and healthier ways of working.
Lead with greater clarity and confidence while helping your team work together with greater trust and effectiveness – whether you’re stepping into leadership, taking on a broader role, inheriting a team, or navigating a new challenge. Support can combine leadership advisory, team listening, facilitated conversations, and practical changes to how the team communicates and works together.
Navigate organizational change without losing sight of the people experiencing it. Another Way can help leaders think through how teams are likely to perceive and be affected by change, create meaningful opportunities for input, develop an approach to communication and engagement, and make sure what happens in practice reflects what the organization says it values.
