Do you feel isolated and increasingly challenged in your role as a nonprofit leader?
The majority of nonprofit CEOs and executive directors say it’s lonely at the top and that the complex demands of their positions seem overwhelming at times.

A 2006 study (Daring to Lead, Meyer Foundation and Compass Point) of 2000 nonprofit executive directors shows that 75% will leave their positions within 5 years. Could you be among the 60% who will leave for reasons that include a difficult executive/Board relationship, lack of a trusted peer network, burnout and a need for more sophisticated leadership skills?

You don’t need to be lonely at the top.
Executive coaching provides nonprofit leaders with the support, leadership development, time management and confidence that enable them to remain passionate, committed and hopeful. You are doing this work because you want to make a difference.
So do I.

You are called to improve your community. Executive coaching helps nonprofit leaders meet the challenge.
In the Daring to Lead study, CEOs and executive directors reported that executive coaching gave them greater clarity of vision for their organizations, increased Board and staff alignment with mission, and improved personnel management and Board/staff relationships.

Are you spending too much time putting out fires? Are conflicts or resistance to change hampering your ability to do great work?
Time to get out of the weeds! I work with nonprofit CEOS, executive directors and senior leadership to hold the focus on strategic priorities as well as strengthen leadership competencies in a wide variety of areas:

• Shared vision, mission, values
• Executive/ Board relations
• Board development
• Managing stress
• Strategic planning
• Navigating conflict and change
• Facilitating open, honest communications
• Senior team and staff relationship management
• Addressing the scarcity mentality

I do this through customized 1- to -1 executive and leadership coaching, leader circles especially for nonprofit CEOs and executive directors, team coaching and assessments, training teleforums, and facilitation.
