The juicy details to our not-so-secret sauce.

 

Our Philosophy.

The world is full of folks who are happy to tell you what to eat, where to invest, or how to run your business…but when it comes to the hard work of identifying the blockers standing in the way of growth, suddenly you are on an island. Moral of the story, advice is cheap — and often useless. 

In our experience, meaningful break-throughs begin with a question. Curiosity gives us space to see things in a new light — to discover the answers waiting just below the surface, or experience the ah-ha moments that inspire action. We aren’t purveyors of ‘right answers,’ but partners in asking the ‘right questions.’

Our Founder.

Hi, I’m Kelly Meredith, Founder of Left Brain Collective. Thanks for stopping by. As a relationship builder, problem solver, and enthusiastic dot-connector, I’ve spent my career in creative collaboration — raising money, managing projects, leading teams, and diving head-first into tough challenges.

Left Brain Collective was born from these experiences, and my own deep desire to help organizations and people work better — to create a space for professionals to try, fail, iterate, learn, and grow. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey.

 
 

Your Success is Our Success.

Testimonials 2

As a small donor-dependent nonprofit, without a true development team, we needed someone with Kelly’s expertise to guide us through our first-ever major fund-raising effort. After our work together, we had the tools, strategy, and confidence needed to get out and raise money, grow our community, extend our reach, and amplify our impact.

– Peter Downing | Executive Director, The Suffer Better Foundation

Kelly is one of the strongest fundraisers I know. She has a unique ability to connect a donor's passion and philanthropic goals to mission driven work. She is a phenomenal strategic partner and collaborator. Whether she is working with a client, a donor or a colleague, Kelly is a natural relationship builder. If you hire Kelly, you will find a committed and invested partner who comes with solutions to your specific fundraising challenges.

– Sofie Garcelon, CFRE | Development Director, Haven

Left Brain Collective helped me articulate my professional goals and develop a concise plan to achieve those goals. Kelly’s depth of experience, insight, and curiosity empowered me to step boldly and authentically into the next phase of my career. Working with Kelly is a gift!

– Elizabeth Domenech | Writer, Coaching Client

Kelly has a unique knack for asking the right questions to reveal a strategic pathway forward. It wasn't her agenda or strategy that came through in the process, but my own. She is a master at bringing important ideas to the surface and finding collaborative ways to produce results from them. Partnering with Kelly provided just the right foundation that we needed for growth.
