Regulatory complexity and pressures
Organizational sustainability concerns
Many of you have already led organizations through hard times and understand the demands of making decisions that affect hundreds of staff and thousands of clients.

Organizations That Trust The Ramsay Group:
Achieve results, even in these challenging times, with a seasoned executive leader and facilitator to support you.
Diana Ramsay combines decades of executive-level experience with her strategic thinking and education in models of human occupation and public policy to facilitate growth and solve complex problems.
Her systems approach, person-centered philosophy and holistic thinking provide a unique and effective spin on executive coaching and group facilitation.
Her incredible ability to listen and identify the strengths and needs of individuals and organizations allows her to create customized, implementable strategies to help people and organizations achieve their desired outcomes.
Diana has long-standing relationships with executive leaders across industries and is a trusted coach and advisor to non-profits, health and human services organizations and associations.
As everything shifted dramatically earlier this year, Diana began thinking about how to help leaders buffer the fallout from policy changes and uncertainty. Having led organizations through downturns, crises and major transitions, she knows how this kind of pressure keeps you up at night — and how isolating it is.
When Richard Edley, CEO of RCPA, and Diana Ramsay heard from leaders this spring, the responses were clear. Funding uncertainty, staffing concerns, operational strain and the desire for strategic connection and problem-solving are needed.
The Leadership Collective was created in direct response to those needs. It’s responsive and adaptable, just like the leaders who join. This space is for strategic thinking, real-time solutions and support that helps you move forward, not just vent.
We’ve weathered leadership storms before, and with the right support in place, you’ll make it through this one too.
