My clients also benefit from the multiple leadership roles I have fulfilled during 20 years of experience in the social sector. Learn more about:
Do you have a nagging feeling that you're living at the very edge of your capacity as a leader? Is it time to stop worrying that you might not have it in you to really fulfill your potential, and find out? Coaching might be just the right intervention for you at this point in your career. I won't give you all the answers, but I will help you get out of your own way, learn some new skills and perspectives to make you a better and more sophisticated leader, and enjoy your role and your life more. The most effective organizations nurture and develop their staff to solve problems, contribute ideas, and take responsibility for meeting the mission and the bottom line. If your staff seem to have trouble with accountability, managing conflict, and proactively dealingwith the rapid pace of change, your organization could greatly benefit from learning coaching skills. A combination of traning and practice sessions can leverage a culture a shift that will make your job easier and make you and your colleagues much more effective. (back to top) Social sector organizations
often find that bringing a skilled facilitator in to design and guide them
through important meetings, board and staff retreats makes an enormous
difference in both outcomes and group process. I am an expert in group
development and have facilitated many retreats and meetings, guiding
groups to meet their goals, make crucial decisions and form stronger
bonds. (back to top) As a leader, you know that relationships between staff can make all the difference in whether you meet your mission or not. Providing the right tools and information and creating the right environment can make or break those relationships. Jill can help you design soft-skills tranings and team-building workshops for your team retreats to strengthen staff culture and build morale, build skills and resolve persistent challenges. (back to top) Clarity about roles, level of engagement and the configuration of the Board of Directors can make all the difference in an organization's impact and health. If the Board seems confused about their role, isn't working well with the executive director or other staff, board meetings are poorly attended or ineffective, I can help. An assessment, training or retreat can help the Board get back on track and become a highly-functional team, as they were meant to be. (back to top) If your organization is experiencing high turnover, low staff morale, disengagement of the board or persistent problems in a particular program, an organizational assessment may be a great first step toward solving the problem. I will review your organization's history, current leadership, program challenges and other systems, compare with best practices, and give you a candid assessment with recommendations for positive change.
