No templates. No recycled decks. Just work built around what you actually need.
First Water Consultants is a boutique organizational development firm. We work with senior leaders across government, education, corporate, and nonprofit organizations to turn strategy into execution and build leadership capacity that lasts.
Who we are.
Founded in 2019 by Nicole King, J.D. and Anthony King, Ed.L.D. Every engagement is built from scratch around the organization in front of us.
Small on purpose. Senior by default.
Deliberately small. We keep the firm lean by design. Senior practitioners lead every engagement from the first conversation to the final handoff, with no layers of junior staff between you and the work.
Cross-sector by design. We work across government, education, corporate, and nonprofit organizations, and we carry the patterns that travel between them. A problem that looks unique inside one sector is often already solved in another.
Diagnostic first, always. We never prescribe before we understand. Every engagement starts with listening and evidence, because the presenting problem is almost never the real one.
Built to leave. Our measure of success is what endures after we go. We build your team's capacity as we work, so the change outlasts the engagement and the credit belongs to your people.
We solve the problems behind the problems.
Every engagement begins with understanding your context. Let's start the conversation.
