Making change that matters
Let's work together to create a world that provides safety and justice for everyone.
Who I Am
My name is Monica Christofferson
North Side Consulting came to life after 15 years of work as a public service attorney in government and non-profit agencies. I encountered many system shortcomings that had drastic impacts on individuals and communities. I started this business to meet those failures head on with honesty, transparency, and strategy. I believe in creativity as a foundational theory of change. I have applied this to move folks from the status quo to forward-thinking change that increases trust, safety, and system response.
My sidekick, Lemon, ensures I have a work-life balance by insisting on a walk during any meeting that goes past an hour.

What I Offer
My services are grounded in evidence, experience, and a desire to make real change. I focus on the individuality of each client to ensure you receive useful and actionable outcomes.
Legal System Reform
The legal system has opportunity to provide better health and safety outcomes for individuals and communities. As an attorney and strategist, I provide proven methods to design and implement evidence-based reforms for jurisdictions large and small.
Training and Facilitation
I have two decades of experience training practitioners at the local, state, and national level. My workshops are interactive, research-based, and tailored to the communities I serve.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning provides a pathway to take an concept from idea to implementation. I work with teams to listen, analyze, and co-create actionable plans for policy and systems change.
Management and Leadership Coaching
Leadership is essential to change, and often is the primary barrier from taking idea to action. I offer executive management consulting, one-on-one management coaching, and organizational assessments of management improvement opportunities.
