Leading Non-Profits

This blog is to offer on-line observations, coaching and assistance for non-profit leaders and about leading non-profits.

I led two major NYC non-profit organizations, one for 11 years. I worked with a coach the entire time, and credit her with a lot of my success. Working with me, non-profit leaders break through to another level of leadership, and are able to steer theirs organization with greater ease and skill to greater achievement and impact.

Executive Directors are often isolated, unable to share openly with staff or Board members as well as not well understood by well-meaning friends and family members who just don’t get what it’s like to be the CEO of a charitable enterprise. They don’t have to go it alone, though. Coaches are the non-profit Executive Director’s secret weapon in becoming ever more effective and successful.

People who want to become non-profit leaders can benefit, too, from my experiences and observations. I've learned a lot the hard way, and hope by sharing to help improve the non-profit arena and develop even better, more capable leaders.
