Executive Coaching
My coaching strategy combines my experience with nonprofit organizations and their boards with coaching strategies that focus on the Executive Director’s unique skills, styles, challenges and personal leadership goals. While always respecting the need for the Executive Director to develop his or her own solutions, I will also suggest solutions based on my experience.

For many Executive Directors, the work of leading an organization and managing the Board of Directors are tasks for which they have not been prepared. There is usually no one within their organization to whom they can turn for guidance and they may see board members as part of the problem rather than the solution.

This is especially true for Executive Directors for whom this is their first top management position or who are succeeding a founder or a long term leader with a different style of working with the board and staff.

I have helped Executive Directors to:
  • Set personal leadership goals
  • Set goals for their work with board and staff
  • Clarify the values that guide their work
  • Develop immediate and long range strategies for improving their relationships with board and staff

Develop the skills and confidence to provide guidance and leadership for the board

My coaching strategy is a proven and cost efficient way for nonprofit executives to obtain perspective and to develop effective action plans.
