Why are we called Olive Grove?  
Glad you asked!  For us, an olive
grove represents strength as both
an individual and as a
mutually-supportive community.  
Groves can last over 1,000 years,
but annually provide products that
are sustaining and meaningful to
many cultures. Groves provide a
place to relax and reflect, and
shelter from the hot sun. They are
rooted in history and legacy but
relevant to people in the moment.  

At Olive Grove Consulting, we
aspire toward these attributes for
both our own firm and for our
communities.
Olive Grove can be a valuable thought partner if you:

  • Know something needs attention but are not quite sure of the solution, or which
    challenge to focus on first.

  • Feel you, the organization, or your board is on the wrong track, or adrift.

  • Want to figure out how you can take what is working and have a greater impact.

  • Are feeling the work is just too hard, and there has to be an easier way.

  • Are tired of being offered advice that doesn’t take your unique situation into account.

  • Are frustrated by consultants that try to fit your organization into their rigid processes
    or templates.

  • Wonder whether your philanthropic investment or community engagement is focused
    for the highest value.

  • Are open to new ideas and challenging but productive conversations.

  • Would welcome an objective, non-judgmental advisor who will really listen, can help
    you think things through, and identify options and solutions.
