Your Vision-Our Expertise-Lasting Impact. As one of the co-founders and partners, I provide executive coaching to nonprofit CEO’s and senior leaders. I am a board certified BCC executive coach and governance consultant with over three decades of experience as a CEO, I bring a strategic, visionary, and purpose-driven approach to leadership. Throughout my career, I successfully grew two organizations—one from $1M to $25M and another from $10M to $50M—while leading hundreds of staff and serving thousands of clients. I partner with nonprofit leaders and organizations to navigate the complexities of leadership, governance, and financial sustainability, ensuring they can maximize their mission-driven impact. With over three decades of experience as a nonprofit CEO, I understand the challenges of balancing heart and mind—mission and financial realities—while leading organizations that serve communities in need. My executive coaching uses the following leadership framework • Heart: Fostering emotional intelligence, connection, and authenticity to build trust, inspire others, and lead with empathy. The heart helps leaders understand and consider the human impact of decisions, ensuring alignment with their values and the mission. • Mind: Providing strategic tools, clarity, and structure to navigate complexity and drive measurable results. The mind helps leaders analyze, prioritize, and execute effectively, ensuring decisions are grounded in data and long-term sustainability. • Heart and Mind Together: The heart and mind work in harmony to guide business decisions that are both strategic and compassionate. Together, they empower leaders to balance the needs of their team, stakeholders, and mission while achieving tangible outcomes. • Read more…
