Build a Breakthrough Board.

I’m an experienced Interim CEO and non-profit governance expert with a passion for helping non-profit organizations amplify their impact and thrive. Breakthrough boards exhibit the four markers of a thriving organization: ethical, equitable, excellent, and enduring—and it is in everything they do, from their policies through to their practices and their people.

Work with me to become a breakthrough board:

  • Comprehensive Board Training & Development Program. Build a Breakthrough Board. My Greater Governance program is a comprehensive training that covers all the critical components of running a high-impact board—with hands-on activities, practical tools, and proven strategies that work.

  • Interactive Board Education, easy to integrate into one of your board meeetings. Trainings can be customized to your organization or one of my staples on governance and legal duties, non-profit financial literacy, risk management and compliance, equitable recruitment, policy development, and more.

  • Interim Leadership. Change can be joyful—and an abundant time and space for powerful organizational transformation. When your Executive Director/CEO steps down, I can give you the time you need to breath, guiding you through assessing your current and future needs of your organization. After building a solid foundation and clarity, we will partner to lead an inclusive, values-centric approach to finding your next leader.

  • Values-Driven Executive Search. We will design a search that honors your organization, board, staff, and stakeholders, and work collaboratively to find a leader that matches your need and vision.

  • Succession Planning. Create a strategy to ensure your organization is ready for an inevitable leadership change. Learn about strategies to navigate changeover while supporting staff, assuring donors, and making the most of the opportunity that comes with transition!

  • Crisis & Turnaround Strategy: A Gray Sky Day is when a crisis or disaster occurs and all hands are needed on deck—and I’ve weathered my fair share. I’ve led organizations through major financial and operational crises, build roadmaps out of deficit, repaired broken culture. While I haven’t seen it all (can anyone?)—I bring a steady, calm, and decisive hand to unprecedented challenge—and have a team of experts in the bleachers ready to jump in and help.

  • A La Carte Consulting: Are you a board member that needs a sounding board, a second pair of eyes, or gut check? I’m available for consulting by the hour.
