I created Mission Possible Strategies to help nonprofit executive directors strategically run their nonprofit so the job doesn't run them down. I developed a 4 phase VIP Coaching Program to help EDs: ➔ Integrate their many roles and develop leadership skills➔ Achieve work-life balance and develop resilience➔ Build allies on the board➔ Prove their impact to funders​I provide individualized, one-to-one mentoring and coaching. Specific outcomes include how to:➔ work more closely with your board chair➔ showcase the value of your programs to funders and the community➔ balance your professional and personal life➔ work more efficiently and delegate effectively➔ motive the board to step up and do their part➔ develop executive presence and emotional intelligence➔ worry less about the budget➔ become a strategic leader
