Nonprofit Coach

There are many ways you can work with a coach. As an Executive Director you can have one-on-one sessions to address specific concerns or boost your career. As an organization, you can have many people learning and growing at the same time.

Tiger Woods has a coach. Kate Winslet has a coach. Yo-Yo Ma probably has one too. Even though you have years of experience and success a coach can help you get out of a rut, expand beyond boundaries, open communication, set goals and uncover obstacles.

Why should an Executive Director work with a coach?

As an Executive Director you are in a unique position – wedged between the Board and your staff. This leaves you little room for openly exploring new ideas, voicing concerns and debating strategic options. A good mentor has a clear perspective, valuable experience and complete objectivity.

Why should your organization work with a coach?

As you look to grow your organization, introduce new programs, launch a marketing campaign, consider new fund raising models, begin strategic planning or improve communications, a coach will help you evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, create a plan for improvement/growth and success and keep the organization on target.
