Work With a COS Guide

You were never supposed to carry this alone.

Coalition work is heavy — the late-night emails, the partners who go quiet, the funders who want a report and don't want to hear what it actually took. There's a way through, and a small group of people who've walked it. Meet them.

Looking for Dave specifically?

Dave Closson keeps a limited keynote calendar each year.

If your event is built around the founder of COS, book him directly. Otherwise, any of our founding guides can bring COS to your room.

Meet the Guides

Six founding COS Guides. All practitioners first.

Each one has coordinated, trained, or coached inside coalitions long enough to know what actually helps — and what just adds another meeting to the calendar.
