Nonprofit Leaders:
If you need someone who’s walked a mile in your shoes…
After just one conversation,
you’ll know that there’s someone
who gets it,
and gets you.
I help nonprofit executives and boards quiet the chaos, define clear strategy, and achieve sustained results.
My Services
Strategic Planning
and Implementation
Strategic planning has earned its bad reputation as a stale exercise leading to useless documents. My approach is uplifting and transformative, drawing your community into your mission. And after it’s adopted, I stick with you to help put it into action.
Board
Elevation
Most organizations lack a clear sense of what the Board should be doing and how. I work with your Board to design their ideal role, and walk with you through training, recruitment, onboarding, evaluation, and more.
Succession
Planning
When the chief executive announces their departure is exactly the wrong time to figure out how the Board will manage the transition. Through my approach, you’ll sleep better knowing your organization is prepared to handle a leadership transition in stride.
Executive
Coaching
Being an Executive Director is a unique challenge. I get it — I’ve been there. I will be your thought partner and help rekindle your passion for the work. Learn more…..
