Propel Consulting LLC

Clarity for Leaders. Confidence in Action.

Confident Leadership Starts with Clear Thinking

Leadership carries weight. Decisions matter. Responsibility grows—and clarity becomes essential.

Propel Consulting partners with professionals who carry responsibility for people, decisions, and direction. The work centers on helping leaders think clearly, lead with intention, and make decisions they can stand behind as complexity increases.

Rather than prescribing solutions or chasing urgency, Propel creates protected space for reflection, perspective, and thoughtful conversation. This is work for leaders who value judgment over checklists, trust over control, and clarity over noise.

Founded by Arianna Mace, Propel Consulting works with individual leaders, teams, and organizations through professional coaching, strategic advisory, facilitated workshops, and leadership platforms like The Table. Across every engagement, the focus remains the same: strengthening clarity, building trust, and supporting confident leadership in real-world conditions.

If you’re navigating growth, transition, or responsibility—and want a grounded partner to help you think clearly and move forward with confidence—Propel Consulting is here to support that work.

What We Do

Propel Consulting works with leaders across three interconnected areas:

The Professional

Creating clarity around responsibility, judgment, and how you show up as a leader.

The Team

Strengthening trust, communication, and accountability within professional teams.

The Organization

Supporting alignment between leadership structure, priorities, and culture.

Mission Statement

“Propel Consulting partners with professionals to strengthen clarity, trust, and confident leadership practice as responsibility grows.”

Vision Statement

“A professional landscape where leaders make thoughtful decisions, build trust intentionally, and lead people with clarity.”

Services We Offer

1-to-1 Professional Coaching

Virtual Coaching with Propel Consulting

Coaching at Propel focuses on the professional—how you think, lead, and show up as responsibility grows. Propel Consulting’s 1‑to‑1 coaching creates consistent, protected space for leaders to think clearly, strengthen trust, and move forward with confidence.

Coaching is offered in three partnership options, each designed to support different depths and rhythms of growth. All sessions are conducted virtually.

Team Workshops

Creating shared clarity and alignment for teams

Propel Consulting workshops are designed for professional teams working in complex environments where trust, communication, and role clarity directly affect performance and retention. Each workshop is intentionally designed to meet the needs of the group and create meaningful progress toward collective goals.

Workshops are facilitated by Arianna Mace and can be delivered in person.

Strategic Advisory

Strategic Advisory engagements focus on how the organization itself is functioning and evolving. Rather than centering on individual development, this work examines the structures, decisions, and systems that shape how work actually gets done. This work operates at the system level, helping leaders examine how their organization is designed to function and make clear, consequential decisions that support long‑term effectiveness.

Engagements are shaped by the purpose of the work and may take place virtually or in person, depending on what best supports the situation.

All advisory work is led directly by Arianna Mace.

I directly attribute the successes we have, despite Covid-19 and a major named storm hitting our community, to having Ari leading the charge.

Strategy is at the heart of successful organizations. However, the process behind strategy is no easy task. It requires detailed planning, careful implementation, and continuous assessment. Thankfully, Arianna was able to make this process clear and straightforward. I highly recommend her services if you are wanting your non-profit to operate at its highest level possible.

It would be easy to throw around industry buzzwords like “force multipliers” or “synergies” or “return on investment.” I’ll save you the time. Ari is a good person who cares about the causes she supports and will absolutely help your organization.
