“The range of expertise and careful attention that Millwork Strategies provides has helped us tremendously. Josh and his team were able to engage on every level, from planning program development and strategy to rolling up their sleeves and helping us get it done.”

“Josh and his team helped us in more ways than I can name. First, they helped us get into alignment as an organization about what our most pressing goals are. Second, they charted a path to help us achieve those goals. And third, unlike many consultants, they stayed with us to help us get there.”
Eric W.
“Josh and his team helped us develop a more strategic approach to communications and other aspects of our organization. We didn’t realize that we were communicating without clear goals or a clear understanding of how various actions were or were not impacting our audiences. Once we put the work into setting goals, aiming our initiatives directly and effectively at those goals, and tracking progress, we saw incredible results.”

Josh Peskin, Ph.D., Principal and Founder
After more than 20 years in the university classroom, two consulting firms, and working “in-house” in leadership roles in higher education and cultural institutions, I have become quite clear on two things. First, I find profound meaning in helping mission-driven organizations become stronger, faster, and smarter. And second, I have been lucky enough to find the quiet and rejuvenating world of learning the craft of fine woodworking.
I am a strategist and builder first with a track record of leading nonprofits through change to develop and grow programs, build financial resources through successful campaigns and effective development teams, and transform tactical communications functions into strategic communications assets.
I earned a Ph.D. from Stanford University and currently teach for Drexel University’s Honors College, where I am able to bring research and group problem-solving to bear on real-world problems.
