Do your best.

Strategic clarity for people who do
good work.

My name is Marit Fischer, and I am the force behind Fischer House Consulting — a strategic advisory practice for nonprofit and business leaders seeking clarity, alignment, and thoughtful direction.

The original Fischer House is my family’s historic home, a place where I lived that now lives in me. There is an antique streetlight on the patio behind that special house. To me, it is a beacon. It lights up the dark and shows right where home is. This is the spirit of my work.

Fischer House Consulting is a metaphorical place, a place to pause, reflect, and identify where and who you are as a leader and change-maker. I am here to listen and to offer clarity, calm, and perspective in moments that feel crowded or uncertain. Together, we share ideas, engage in honest conversation, and disempower challenges by identifying strengths, priorities, and boundaries. All this will help you understand who you are as an organization or a leader of one, and how best to move forward.

FAQ

  • The people I work with care deeply about the future of their organizations and the communities they serve.

    • Executive directors and senior leaders

    • Boards and board leadership

    • Founders / co-founders

    • Cultural, educational, and community-based organizations

    I work with people who are navigating organizational complexity, and who want to do so with integrity.

  • Most engagements begin when leaders are saying things like:

    • “We’re doing too much and it’s costing us.”

    • “Something feels misaligned, but we can’t quite name it.”

    • “We need to pause before making the next move.”

    • “Our strategy no longer matches our reality.”

    Strategic solutions can be systemic, organizational, cultural, or communications-focused.

  • I am warm, friendly, and real. I listen attentively, and enjoy honest conversation about real-life challenges. I am here to guide the process, help you organize your thoughts and goals, and share ideas when they are helpful. I do not know all the ins and outs of your business. You are the expert there. Where I can help is in reducing the overwhelm, calming the fray, and helping you establish clarity and vision based on realistic assessment.

    I bring structure without rigidity, insight without ego, and questions that lead to the heart of the matter. Our goals together are clarity, coherence, and the identification of strategically aligned next steps.

  • I am not your average business consultant. Not only do I have 30+ years of business experience, I also have been a personal therapist for more than a decade. Our work together begins with conversation. I do not subscribe to any one approach or system. I meet people where they are without judgment and we go from there.

    Unlike other consultants or service providers, I do not market, nor do I actively seek engagements. People come to me when someone recommends me, or when they do a web search for the very specific work that I do.

    Another difference is that, without exception, I respect client confidentiality. Our work together is something you may share if you’d like. I will not. Your journey is your story to tell, not mine.

    I am not in this for me. I do this to help others do their own brand of good in this world.

  • I welcome philosophically aligned, time-bound, and strategy-focused consulting engagements.

    Each of my projects has a clear beginning and finish.

    I strategically advise. I will not be the person to execute your plans.

  • I offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. When you tell me what you need, I’ll provide a proposal outlining a well-defined project, complete with pricing information.

  • Reach out to me through the contact portal and let’s talk.

  • You can reach me any time via my contact page. I’ll respond within one business day.
