Leadership Coaching
Working hard to improve our communities and our planet is the calling, but sometimes the path feels lonely, unfulfilling, or unsustainable. Need a thought partner? A truth teller? A hype-person? 1:1 coaching supports social impact and policy leaders to be at ease where they are and confident about where they want to go.
- Growing into a new role
- Career transitions
- Addressing burnout
Team Development
When your flock flies together, they can go far. But maintaining the flock is hard, especially when teams are distributed. Team development offerings build clarity, cohesion and trust, supporting team morale and productivity.
- Retreats
- Strategic planning
- Workshops
- Drop-in coaching
Strategic Advisory
Your organization’s passion and purpose is clear, but getting to results in today’s complex environment might not be. Wingspan supports philanthropies, non-profits, and advocacy organizations – especially in health policy and health care transformation – to find a path to impact.
- Priority setting
- Landscape and policy analysis
- Partnership building

As the best facilitators and coaches do, Arielle doesn’t put herself at the center, but rather asks powerful questions, makes emotionally intelligent observations and shares wise insights, ultimately creating the container for the magic to happen.

Arielle Mir, Founder
I show up every day ready to work in service of individual and collective well being.
Over two decades of work in government, philanthropy, advocacy, and tech, I have fought to make the U.S. healthcare system more effective and less bewildering. I helped bring emergency contraception over-the-counter, strengthen primary care, and improve access to Medicaid and long term care.
I’ve sat in many seats: I worked in Congress and at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. I’ve been a strategist, a funder, a storyteller, and a vendor.
My drive isn’t only for the work, but equally for the purpose-driven humans who do it. Throughout my career, I’ve coached dozens of colleagues and clients and led retreats, training, and strategic planning. My energy supports progress toward impact goals while increasing clarity, trust, and connection.
I’m a connector and community builder. I’m the board chair of my startup synagogue, a volunteer fundraiser at my kids’ school PTA, and an evangelist for “leaving the ladder down.”
I love cooking, hiking, playing word games, and making up songs about our cats with my husband and two sons. We live in leafy green Takoma Park, in the suburbs of Washington, DC.
And at my core, I’m a nerd and wonk. I have a Masters degree from Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs and a Bachelors from the University of Chicago.

So, what’s next?
Listen.
Listening is the key. Listen to that inner voice that said you might need support or that friend or colleague who recommended us. Wingspan’s business is to listen to you.
Don’t ‘should’ on yourself.
Are you telling yourself, “I should know how to do this” or “Things should be different”? Pat yourself on the back for knowing that you need something, and reach out.
Show up.
The work of strategy and coaching is in the present and for the future. When you partner with Wingspan, our collective effort unlocks the potential inside you, your team, and organization. Let’s get to it!
