Nonprofit Organizational Assessment
An organizational assessment can help a board of directors ensure that the agency has all its ducks in a row during a leadership transition. Are taxes being paid?

These are the types of questions that can worry a board of directors so let me help you do a thorough assessment so you know where things stand.
Leadership Onboarding for Nonprofits
First-time Executive Directors can be overwhelmed by uncertainty in their new jobs. How do I work with the board of directors? What’s most important to work on first? How do I read this budget? What should be in the board report? How do I deal with difficult employees? Why do we have this program? These are all questions I’ve faced and I can help your new executive get organized, understand the culture and their responsibilities, and manage their time.
Leadership Coaching
Leaders can sometimes feel frustrated by a stubborn group dynamic, an awkward employee relationship, or a process that just won’t move forward. Leadership coaching can help business professionals move through some of these challenging issues by helping them developing greater self-awareness, a new clarity about the issues, important soft skills, or a critical mindset that is different from their own. Improving the leader’s skills can reset the company culture, shift morale, and ultimately create efficiency and a new momentum.
