Non-Profit Coaching
I coach nonprofit leaders through the weighty, often-messy work of leadership—so they can realign, refocus, and lead their mission with more clarity and joy.
Built for Leaders Who Carry a Lot
Nonprofit executives lead from the center of competing pressures: mission urgency, staff dynamics, board expectations, and limited resources. That can get heavy fast.
My coaching creates a space where leaders can exhale, sort through complexity, and reconnect with their leadership voice. This is coaching that sharpens how you think, not tells you what to do. It’s rooted in real-world nonprofit leadership, not theory or scripts.
Who I Work With
I coach nonprofit:
CEOs and Executive Directors navigating transitions, burnout, or decision fatigue
Senior leaders preparing for succession or broader scope
Founders stepping into more executive-level leadership
New leaders learning to balance vision with execution
Many of my clients lead foundations, advocacy groups, associations, coalitions, and service orgs—especially those doing systems-level or movement work.
How I engage
I am available for 3- and 6-month engagements. I structure engagements that are part-time, fractional, and interim, open to the unique needs of client organizations or businesses in the moment they face.
