Talbot Consulting strives to be the favored consulting practice for small to mid-size nonprofits; foundations; public schools, institutions and agencies; and individuals engaged in the education and youth development space. We accomplish this by ensuring high customer satisfaction that results in repeat engagements and client referrals comprising at least 80 percent of our business. Our approach is personal, empathetic, collaborative, customized and sustainable.
Our core values extend from our belief that all young people – no matter their demographics – are entitled to quality education programs. Our work begins with the premise that those organizations, institutions and agencies providing educational, social, emotional and developmental services and supports to young people and their families deserve our respect, empathy, loyalty and support. These core values determine our clients, and the ways in which we interact and engage with them. Our role is to support, not direct; to partner, not lead; and to build capacity not dependence.
Leslie and I have known each other and worked together on various projects for over a decade. I appreciate the knowledge, talent, collegiality, shared goals and understanding she brings to our mission.

I choose the word ‘partner’ intentionally because Leslie’s firm does take the approach of partnership when working with clients. They are critical thought partners who expose you to different angles that help elevate your project to the next level.
