About us
Every thread of a life, woven together.
The Soundboard Impact Foundation was founded in 2024, but its story began decades earlier, in mentoring, coaching and investing in emerging leaders.
Four threads, one purpose
A lifetime of work with leaders, woven into a foundation for the next generation.
Our origin story
"To say I started the Soundboard Impact Foundation in 2024 doesn't begin to do justice to the real backstory. … All the threads of my life, professional and personal, have come together in the Foundation."
Our core values
What guides how we work
Impact
True impact is the ripple effect of empowered changemakers: change that multiplies across communities and generations.
Respect
We honor the dignity, perspective and potential of every individual in how we build relationships and make decisions.
Curiosity
The spark of discovery. It drives us to ask better questions, listen deeply and explore new ways to create change.
Humility
We leave ego at the door. Wisdom can come from anyone, anywhere, and a true leader is a lifelong learner.
Community
Real change is built together, through partnerships, shared purpose and the power of human connection.
