CREATING SPACE FOR MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS AND PURPOSEFUL ACTION
ABOUT TRACY
I believe that deeper, honest, more authentic conversations can and should change the world.
Hi, I’m Tracy Burger, nonprofit consultant, facilitator, coach, and lifelong believer in the power of asking good questions.
That journey eventually led me to coaching, facilitation, and consulting work that allows me to help others do the same.
Today, I work with nonprofit organizations, mission-driven leaders, boards, and professionals who are navigating growth, change, opportunity, and complexity. Together, we create space to think differently, clarify priorities, strengthen relationships, and move from ideas to action.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to blend strategic thinking with warmth, curiosity, and authenticity. I bring structure when things feel overwhelming, perspective when challenges seem complicated, and encouragement when the next step feels unclear.
Throughout my career, I've been drawn to helping people and organizations navigate change, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity. Whether I'm facilitating a board retreat, guiding a strategic planning process, coaching a leader through a transition, or helping a team reconnect around its purpose, my work is rooted in one simple belief: meaningful progress begins with meaningful conversations.
But I didn't arrive at this work through a straight line.
Like many people, I spent years following the path I thought I was supposed to take. I worked hard, checked the boxes, built a successful life, and met many of the expectations that others—and I—had set for myself. From the outside, everything looked good. Yet underneath, I often felt disconnected from something deeper.
Over time, life presented its share of challenges: raising a family, navigating periods of uncertainty, caring for loved ones, and learning to manage the inevitable twists and turns that come with being human. Through those experiences, I discovered that growth rarely comes from having all the answers. It comes from being willing to ask better questions, embrace uncertainty, and listen to the quiet voice that tells us there may be another path forward.
A Few Things About Me
When I'm not facilitating, coaching, or consulting, you'll likely find me spending time with family and friends, reading nonfiction, exploring new places, enjoying a good conversation, or planning my next adventure.
I split my time in Florida between Gainesville and St. Petersburg and remain endlessly curious about people, purpose, leadership, and what helps individuals and organizations thrive.
I'd love the opportunity to learn more about your work and explore how we might partner together.

RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME
I wrote Running Away from Home because I felt the need to explore the lifelong dispassionate relationship I had with my mother, why I couldn’t connect with her during the last five years of her life and my desperate need to please her.
