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.
