Today we’d like to introduce you to Lishawn Alexander
Hi Lishawn, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Our company is committed to supporting health and human service nonprofits with building capacity. Our mission and vision are to see our clients achieve their goals and mission. We specialize in strengthening local nonprofits’ thrive. Our work aims to bolster community resilience, particularly benefiting vulnerable populations.
Lishawns Consulting was founded to address nonprofits’ numerous challenges and gaps where existing support was insufficient. Our services effectively bridge the divide between these challenges and the solutions needed.
Our consulting empowers executive teams and boards to operate efficiently. Through our commitment, we have supported many NYC nonprofits to be sustainable and relevant post-COVID. Our goal is to have meaningful and impactful support systems in place.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
As a small business owner, you face many challenges and obstacles. One of our biggest and first hurdles happened while building an in-person presence: COVID-19 hit, and we pivoted like many businesses. With this shift, our team strategized how we could still support our clients and be an example for our clients to follow. We immediately shifted our business model from face-to-face service delivery to fully remote.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Lishawns Consulting, we foster sustainable growth and impactful change for for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Our primary mission is to empower businesses and nonprofits to achieve their full potential through strategic planning, effective governance, and comprehensive business solutions.

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was a smart, inquisitive, and thoughtful child who always followed the rules. I had a strong entrepreneurial spirit and was quite business-savvy, even at a young age. I remember selling the most candy for our school-wide events and fundraisers, which was always profitable in my business endeavors. My interests were diverse, but I was particularly drawn to activities that challenged my intellect and creativity. This combination of a love for learning and a knack for business shaped my personality and set the foundation for my future career.
