On Paper LLC

On Paper LLC is a Minnesota-based strategic consulting, leadership development, and publishing company that helps universities and organizations align leadership, strategy, and systems so their initiatives actually work. 

We partner with universities, nonprofits, public sector agencies, and mission-driven organizations to design and implement strategy, strengthen leadership and governance, and build internal infrastructure that supports long-term impact. Our services include strategic planning, executive and leadership coaching, facilitation, keynote and guest speaking, curriculum and training design, organizational assessments, governance consulting, and systems-based organizational development.

What distinguishes On Paper LLC is our ability to integrate high-level strategy with real-world implementation. We do not deliver static plans—we build usable systems, tools, and frameworks that organizations can actively apply and sustain. Our work is grounded in ontological, mindful, and ecological (OME) leadership principles and integrates equity-centered, power-aware practice to support meaningful culture and systems change.

We also provide fundraising and resource development strategy, including fundability infrastructure, grant readiness, donor alignment, and positioning—ensuring organizations are not only clear in direction, but equipped for sustainability and growth.

Through our extended ecosystem—including Mirror Academy (education and credentialing) and On Paper Press (publishing and content development)—we design and deliver customized learning experiences, develop original curricula, and publish books, workbooks, and thought leadership. This integrated model allows clients to move from strategy to training to published content within a single partnership—an uncommon and highly valuable capability.

University purchasers should work with On Paper LLC for strategic planning, executive coaching, leadership development, facilitation, keynote speaking, curriculum and training design, governance support, fundraising and resource development strategy, and equity-centered organizational development. We specialize in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and are particularly well suited for initiatives requiring stakeholder engagement, cross-functional alignment, leadership and board development, and implementation support across departments, programs, and partnerships.
