Nonprofit Executives, have you said (or thought) any of these?

  • I need to talk about the staff/board/professional stuff that I can’t talk to the staff/board/partner about.

  • I have too much on my plate and I don’t know where to start.

  • My board is generally good with boundaries but lately they’ve been micromanaging.

  • How do I best use the board?

  • Are my expectations for staff too high? How do I create accountability?

  • I feel like an imposter. I’m waiting for someone to realize that I don’t know what I’m doing.

  • Work feels heavy. I’m tired.

 

Yes!

You could benefit from a Chief Executive partner.

 It can feel lonely at the top.  I was an Executive Director for 11 years and there were times where I wished for a partner to talk things through, someone to think alongside me, another set of eyes on a sticky HR email or a mentor that had been there. It’s just different in the nonprofit world.

 

You don’t have to do it alone.  Let’s do this together.

Together, we could work on:

  • Time management, boundaries, and priorities

  • Board development and engagement

  • Staff management, accountability, and delegation

  • Succession planning

  • Quieting your inner critic

  • Burnout prevention

  • And more.

 

We do this with:

  • Regularly scheduled sessions. Plus, additional sessions or touchpoints. Because challenges don’t happen on a schedule, or when you want a quick review of an email or just to vent.

  • Partner packages include up to 3 or 4 hours a month. Plus, text/video app (think support on speed dial) for help when you need it.

 

Come experience it!

Schedule a complimentary 45-minute call that will include a 30-minute session plus time for questions and connection. Bring a challenge and we’ll work on it together.  

Why would I add something else to my schedule? I already feel like I don’t have enough time.

Two heads can be better than one! Working with a partner and looking at issues from a different perspective can help you move faster thus actually saving you time.

Why should I spend money on me? Our resources are limited, I should focus on the program.

Sessions are a time for you. They aren’t selfish but self-preservation. They will help you be a better leader which will positively impact the organization and provide stronger sustainability.
