THE ART OF STORYTELLING AND WHY STORIES MATTER

DBD Group is a team of professionals from the non-profit world who have joined together to help nonprofits, educational institutions and faith-based organizations thrive. We are committed to helping our clients grow stronger in their abilities, so they not only achieve their goals but go on to achieve more using the tools they’ve learned from us. It is an incredible chance to come alongside organizations at the most exciting – and sometimes the most vulnerable – points in their histories.
For more than a decade, we’ve connected cause-driven professionals with our unique brand of consulting. Consulting requires self-direction, creativity and a tolerance for risk. It also takes a blend of humility and confidence: trust in your ability to lead combined with the ability to help our clients grow in their own ability to lead. It is challenging work, but also incredibly rewarding.
