Transform Your Nonprofit Leadership with Expert Guidance

With over 30 years of proven success as an Executive Director, I am intimately familiar with the challenges you face. Leading a nonprofit means wearing multiple hats—balancing tight budgets, inspiring your team, and engaging your board—all while staying laser-focused on your mission and growing your impact. It’s a demanding role that can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed and under-resourced.

I CAN HELP.

I AM YOUR STRATEGIC PARTNER FOR SUCCESS

Having navigated the ups and downs of a nonprofit journey from humble beginnings to outstanding achievements, I have become the mentor I once needed. My services are designed specifically for Executive Directors of small to medium-sized nonprofits, helping you to:

  • Create a roadmap for working with your Board
  • Create a blueprint for raising the money for your mission
  • Focus on the basics of nonprofit leadership: Mission, Money, People, and Dreams

I don’t just offer quick fixes; I’m committed to cultivating your leadership potential and driving meaningful change. By unlocking the untapped potential within you, YOU will transform your nonprofit and lead it to extraordinary success!

The reason your non profit isn’t thriving isn’t a lack of money, or a bickering board, or complacent staff… You need to take a deep, hard look at how you think and do things in your organization, and then prepare yourself for a paradigm shift. That being said, I’ve been there myself and I know how hard it is to overcome the many obstacles getting in the way of your mission. The good news? I did it, and so can you…

A BOARD THAT GETS BEHIND YOU ISN'T ACCIDENTAL. IT'S INTENTIONAL... Executive Directors: where boards are concerned, it’s your job to turn adversaries into allies and conflict into consensus – and I can show you how. FAILURE IS THE BEGINNING OF SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING… Until you recognize and embrace what is NOT and HAS NOT been working in your organization, you’ll remain stranded on a dead end road. Let me show you the way forward… YOUR PEOPLE WILL OWN THEIR ROLE WHEN YOU STEP OUT OF THE WAY… Every day, your staff are either growing or shrinking under your leadership. It is 100% YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to teach them how to think through problems and create solutions. – and I can show you how to do that effectively… MONEY IS ONLY SEEN AS A SOLUTION WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH… If only someone would come in and dump a bunch of money into your lap, your problems would be solved, right? WRONG. Money doesn’t come first, PEOPLE DO. What I know is true value is found in people, and it’s not always in their bank accounts… “STICKING TO YOUR KNITTING”
DOESN’T WORK…
Any failures that you or your organization are experiencing right now are the result of every decision you won’t make and every risk you won’t take. Until you decide you’re going to stop putting all your energy into maintaining what has been, you might as well take those knitting needles and poke your eyes out with them. Because it’s the same thing…
