Spaghetti is great for dinner but not for walls…or your nonprofit
You think the hardest part of your role is fundraising. But the truth is, without a supportive, engaged board, growing your nonprofit is gonna feel like you’re throwing spaghetti at the wall.
Sound familiar?
A healthy board is not only critical to your success and your organization's potential, it's essential.
If you’re struggling to engage your board, I can help you build a board culture that values your contribution, so you can go from board members who...
Undervalue your opinion→ Take you seriously as a leader
Attend meetings but rarely speak → Hands flying in the air
Monopolize discussions → Look to you for guidance
Rarely engage with the mission, if at all → Ask how they can better support you
Believe it’s their job to micromanage the staff → Trust in your ability to lead
Hi there, I'm Elizabeth,
I'm a women's leadership coach who knows what it's like to work as the executive director of a nonprofit. And along with hearing from colleagues and clients, I’ve learned first hand the importance of having supportive board and teams.
An engaged boards is a fundamental building block that is critical to you and your team's success and the growth of your organization.
I partner with women nonprofit leaders to build boards that value their contributions and support their vision, so they can do the work they love without being bogged down by interpersonal challenges.
Starting out as an Executive Director, I needed someone to say, “this is your roadmap.” Because the truth is, being a nonprofit leader is hard.
You’re pulled in dozens of directions and required to wear too many hats. And…having a supportive board behind you increases your impact and your organization’s growth.
For purpose-driven women leaders, having meaningful work that makes a difference is the top priority.
I get that, and that’s why my goal is to give you concrete strategies that will allow you to move your social impact work forward.
"Elizabeth’s coaching was the foundation of my progress. It gave me the opportunity, the platform and the space to look at myself in a way I had never thought (or even known) to look before. Her support and encouragement were paramount because they bolstered my belief in my ability and desire to know the answers."
