About Nemawa Consulting
Making teams unstoppable - for real.
Nemawa Consulting was built on a simple belief: talent isn’t enough. If you want a great team, they need to know how to work together - clearly, effectively, and without all the drama.
Founder Jenny Allen has spent 30+ years leading teams across all kinds of industries - from tech start-ups and non-profits to Fortune 500 companies and pharmaceutical giants. Along the way, she’s learned how to:
- Get teams aligned on what actually matters
- Turn big ideas into action - even in the most complicated organizations
- Help smart people work better together (without stepping on each other’s toes)
Now, she helps leaders turn capable teams into high-performing teams - the kind that get real results without all the frustration and false starts.
Turning talent into teamwork.
Your team has the talent. But if they’re pulling in different directions, stuck in silos, or too buried in the day-to-day to think bigger, that talent isn’t doing what it should.
Here’s how Nemawa helps teams get moving:
- Get clear on who does what best - so people play to their strengths and nothing gets missed
- Help teams actually work together - not just sit in the same meetings
- Align everyone around a shared vision - so they’re moving in the same direction
- Turn good ideas into action - with plans that actually happen
- Measure what matters - real progress, not random KPIs
Because when teams know where they’re going and how to get there together, they don’t just work. They win.
What is "Nemawa"?
More than a name - a tribute to three unforgettable dogs who taught us what great teams are made of.
Newman, Maggie, and Wally weren’t just pets - they were family. Each brought their own personality, strengths, and quirks - just like the best teams.
First, there was Newman and Maggie - a team of two. When Newman passed, Wally stepped in to join Maggie, and together, they created a new kind of team. Because that’s what strong teams do - they evolve, adapt, and find new ways to move forward.
At Nemawa Consulting, we believe teams work best when everyone brings what they’re best at - and when they know how to lean on each other’s strengths. Just like Newman, Maggie, and Wally did.
Because when people (and dogs) know how to work together - they don’t just get by. They thrive.
Meet Newman, Maggie & Wally
Newman – The Strategist
A sharp-minded beagle who always found a creative way forward. If there was a smarter or more inventive way to do something, Newman would figure it out. He taught us that great teams need people who see things differently - and aren’t afraid to try a new path.
Maggie – The Connector
A bernedoodle with a heart of gold, always making sure everyone felt included. Maggie reminded us that teams are stronger when people feel like they belong - and that kindness and connection matter as much as any skill.
Wally – The Energy
A goldendoodle bursting with enthusiasm, always ready to bring the fun. Wally showed us that a little energy and joy can go a long way - especially when a team needs a boost.
