As we look back on 2024, we are proud of the strides S. Daniels Consulting has made in strengthening both our internal culture and our external impact. This year has been marked by growth, collaboration, and a renewed commitment to our mission: creating lasting, positive change in the communities we serve. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve accomplished.
Organizational Excellence
One of our greatest achievements this year was achieving 100% employee retention. This milestone underscores our dedication to cultivating a supportive and empowering workplace. Our team is our greatest asset, and we are proud to have fostered an environment where people can thrive, develop professionally, and feel valued for their contributions.
Social Impact
In 2024, S. Daniels Consulting continued to make meaningful contributions to key social causes. We focused our efforts on:
Breast cancer awareness, supporting initiatives that promote education and early detection.
Financial literacy, empowering individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools to achieve financial independence.
Positive youth development, reinforcing our commitment to uplifting the next generation of leaders.
These initiatives reflect our mission-driven focus on creating lasting community impact and driving change where it matters most.
Talent Development
A key component of our success lies in investing in the next generation of leaders. This year, we were thrilled to host a Summer Associate in partnership with the LSU School of Leadership & Human Resource Development. By welcoming a PhD student into our team, we not only provided valuable real-world experience but also contributed to the academic growth of a future leader in the consulting sector.
Media and Thought Leadership
Our team’s expertise and commitment to driving change have garnered increased recognition in the media:
We were featured in two press outlets, amplifying our mission and extending our reach to broader audiences.
Through six speaking engagements, we had the opportunity to share insights on a variety of topics, including employee engagement, rural entrepreneurship, and business leadership, cementing our role as thought leaders in the industry.
Additionally, we were featured in three podcasts, offering practical strategies for nonprofit leaders and business owners seeking to make a meaningful impact.
Professional Development
To ensure we continue to grow as leaders, we invested in executive education, completing an advanced program at the prestigious Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. This experience has helped us strengthen our leadership capabilities and remain at the forefront of industry best practices.
Collaborations and Partnerships
In 2024, we strengthened our collaborative efforts by establishing two corporate partnerships with DonorBox and Instrumentl. These strategic alliances have enhanced our ability to support clients in capacity building and grant-seeking, creating additional pathways for nonprofits to achieve their goals.
Client Impact
This year, we expanded our client base by welcoming six new clients, each aligned with our mission to drive social impact and organizational excellence. Our work this year included:
Stakeholder Engagement: Strengthening relationships and communications with key stakeholders to ensure alignment with organizational goals.
Operations Support: Helping nonprofits streamline their operational processes for greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Looking Ahead
2024 has been a year of growth, learning, and impact. As we look forward to the year ahead, we remain committed to our mission of driving positive change through strategic partnerships, professional development, and a deep dedication to the communities we serve.
