Strategies in Motion. Futures in Focus.
We partner with you to name what is emerging, reimagine what is possible, and cultivate coherence in living,
leading, and relating.
At Sojourner Strategy Group, we believe navigation is a living journey—unfolding within a person, between
people, among communities, and across the systems we shape. We partner with you through coaching and
consulting engagements that strengthen coherence: the capacity to stay connected to what is real and move
with intention—at the live edge, where patterns reveal themselves and next steps take shape.

my language, clarity about my audience, and tools for responding to crisis moments with intention. The work
felt like a true partnership—calm, flexible, and deeply supportive.”

“I was navigating the academic, emotional, and professional demands of my doctoral program and needed
steady guidance to navigate challenges with intention and confidence. Through Antoinette’s coaching, my
thinking became more precise and more focused. She helped me break down complex situations, identify
barriers, and approach my work with greater precision and purpose. Working with Antoinette feels both
supportive and empowering. She genuinely cares about outcomes that are meaningful for me and consistently
demonstrates thoughtfulness, patience, and a deep commitment to helping others succeed.”

TESTIMONIALS
What I appreciated most was the way Antoinette worked—calm, flexible, and grounding. It felt like a thoughtful
third voice offering multiple perspectives. I felt seen, heard, and genuinely supported. The process was a true
partnership, not directive—and it honored my lived reality and cultural context from the very start.
-Anonymous Client
When our program needed an outside evaluator for a state grant, the first person I thought about was Dr.
Antoinette Dendtler. She is a consummate professional whose work has always been stellar. Upon agreeing to
take on the project, she immediately created a plan for outreach, measures of success, data collection, and
storytelling. Our team was always clear about the status of the project and any action items she needed from
us. Working with Dr. Dendtler has allowed us to document our project highlights, challenges, and the
implementation process, while leaving the intricate execution of these evaluation tasks to her, while our team
remained focused on project activities. We are excited to disseminate the final report she helped us create.
