Tara Fitzpatrick-Navarro
The work is hard. It helps to have someone who has actually done it.
I am a sitting nonprofit CEO. For twelve years I have led a foundation and a team through real pressure, including a girls' sports program that reaches thousands. I advise leaders on the hard parts of running an organization, and because I run my whole week on AI, I help anyone put it to work too. Two ways in, below.
Nonprofit Advisory
Whatever is in your way, from someone who has been there.
Strategy, board and leadership facilitation, and development for your rising leaders. Not a junior consultant. A CEO who has made these calls herself for twelve years.

Teach it. Guide it. Build it.
I run my whole week on AI. I help you and your team do the same, whether you want to learn it in a workshop, be guided as you build, or simply have it built for you.
See the AI workWhat I do
Two lanes, one person who has actually done the work.
I am not a consultant who read about this in a book. I run a foundation and a household on the same clarity and the same tools I bring to you. Underneath everything sits a decade of leading, and coaching-grade training in how people and teams actually change. The through line is plain: less friction, more clarity, and nothing dressed up as more than it is.
Nonprofit Advisory
Advisory & Strategy
A thinking partner in your corner for the calls that keep you up at night. Light advisory or a short, scoped engagement from someone who has sat in the chair.

Facilitation & Leadership
Board and leadership retreats, strategy sessions, and development for your rising leaders. Someone who has held the chair, not just studied it.

AI: Teach, Guide, Build

Tara has a gift for asking the right questions at the right time, keeping your goals front and center even when the details get complex. She helped me reach a pivotal moment of clarity, refine my story, and show up with real confidence.
E.P.Coaching clientFor most of my adult life I lived in fear of money. Working with Tara was emotional at first. She helped me move through that with care and without judgment. I came away with real skills, genuine confidence, and a relationship with my finances I did not think was possible.

Who I am
I do the thing before I teach it.
I lead a Mid-Atlantic foundation and the programs and projects under it, including a girls' sports program reaching thousands of girls. I write for the Forbes Nonprofit Council. I run my executive life on AI, and I help other leaders and teams do their hard work with more clarity and less of what gets in the way.
