Business coaching with humanity
Small businesses and startups need their own "kitchen cabinet" of advisors at their table who can offer the right advice at the right time in their journey. Our consulting is like having an outsourced team of solid advisors in IT, Project Management, Communications, HR, and Operations.
Networks Work
Petra was built to create an ecosystem of valued connections to help entrepreneurs get their "back office" done right with a solid foundation in people, tech, and process. We use organizational psychology to make sure that the human part of the business works at its best.
Our unique approach puts community and peer networks at the center of our advisory work. We tested and created a life-cycle-driven process designed to move you or your team in clear, practical ways toward achievable milestones. Our proven method of creating peer "pods" offers social capital that outlasts your investment in consulting services.
We are skilled at finding our behaviors and patterns that work well today and help you uncover what is missing to reach the next milestone.

About petra
Build Your Business Upon a Rock
Our business name is inspired by the ancient city of Petra, a world-cultural wonder built into the rose sandstone cliffs of Jordan. The intricately interconnected network of carvings in stone created a place where commerce, trade, ideas, art, and culture could thrive and sustain for generations. Petra remains as a standing tribute, built upon a rock in harmony with one's surroundings.
We believe in building dreams in the same spirit - a thriving ecosystem of economy and culture, balanced on a solid foundation.
Meet Kristin, Petra's Founder
Kristin Leutz is a nationally recognized organizational psychologist, nonprofit fundraiser, and entrepreneurship expert. She works with the Colmena and Wright Collectives to amplify her consulting capacity. She created Petra to offer consulting and technical support for organizations, startups, and projects that aim to make a positive impact in our world.
Why Us?
Creating impact is a team sport. Who is on our team?
Kristin created the Petra network inviting friends and mentors who consult today, but were once in your shoes. They know what it is like to lead nonprofits and small businesses and startups. These diverse consultants and advisors have a special talent for building connected networks. Petra was born to link these vast and varied networks to offer helpful, affordable development to all. We organize clients in meaningful "pods" of people who share career experiences and ambitions.
Business mentors are key—that’s why we choose to engage good people in the Petra community. We ask all our clients to show a demonstrated commitment to equity, kindness, and self-reflection. We give each of you the time and guidance you deserve.
Whether you’re seeking strategic-level guidance or a pair of hands to help tackle some work today, connect with us.
We didn’t get here alone. And neither will you.
