The Avodah is a consulting practice that delivers impact through purpose-perspective. With over 30-years of hands-on experience, we help leaders and organizations lift out of the daily grind and see the forest. Our goal is to deliver a big picture impact in the daily details.
The Avodah takes a hands-on approach: We jump in side by side to gain understanding, facilitate workshops to empower your team to create clear strategic plans, guide implementation of impactful programs, support C-level leaders with one-on-one advising, provide coaching and professional development to leaders and teams at all levels.
We help align purpose with the work, because we believe when you work with purpose, you lead and live with passion.
We are created to work.
The word “work” doesn’t quite capture the true meaning like the Hebrew word Avodah. Avodah can be defined as the integration of work, purpose and service. Work isn’t just what we do – it’s how we create meaning and serve others.
You don't waste your life where you work, but why and how you work.

Unlock your brand’s potential with strategic marketing solutions. Drive revenue growth with an array of services designed to elevate your brand and drive sales results.
The Avodah extends its commitment to live and lead with purpose by contributing a substantial portion of its revenue to The Avodah Connection. As a 501(c)(3), The Avodah Connection helps small, faith-based groups get what they need to last – good plans, useful skills, and necessary resources. Along the way, we create opportunities for people to grow in their faith by getting involved and having meaningful experiences. We are currently focused on things like building a church and school in Albania, taking a group of leaders to Israel, developing international internship programs, and other projects that make an impact today and for the future.
Our vision is to see faith-based organizations thrive and where people from all walks of life step up to help them succeed, and grow in their own faith along the way.
More Than A Traditional Non-Profit Organization
The Avodah Connection is a hands-on partner investing our personal time, professional expertise, and resources to empower people and mission-focused organizations. Before any project reaches our supporters, we’ve already invested ourselves in helping ensure its success and sustainability.
You can help partner by learning more and investing in our initiatives.
“The daily grind often buries our potential beneath layers of routine. When deadlines and details dominate, creativity fades, team energy dims, and vision becomes clouded. As your partner, I help lift you and your teams above the day-to-day, revealing fresh perspectives and untapped possibilities.
Together, we’ll reconnect your daily work with its deeper purpose, because when purpose drives your work, passion fuels your leadership, and your life.”
