In these difficult times, a productive board is a necessity, not a luxury.

If your board is:

• Micromanaging personnel matters rather than developing a staffing strategy
• Second guessing tough financial decisions rather than providing insight into financial management
• Re-analyzing issues rather than supporting committee recommendations
• Providing fundraising wish lists rather than helping develop and execute achievable strategies
• Criticizing the Executive Director for choices made rather than working collaboratively to clarify priorities and develop strategies
• Holding meetings that are rambling and repetitious rather than engaged and focused

I have the solutions.

• My coaching process will enable boards to identify their goals, develop an action plan and identify the support needed to implement the plan.
• I will interview members of the board and the Executive Director, identify the organizational needs for board action and, in collaboration with the leadership team, design, administer and analyze an online board assessment survey.
• I will facilitate a board retreat to obtain agreement on board objectives, procedures and norms, and draft an action plan based on the retreat agreements.
• I will provide coaching to insure the successful implementation of the plan.
• I can also provide board workshops on specific skills such as fundraising, financial management, outcomes management, planning, etc.
