What we do

Chair Coaching

Looking for some insights?
Most Chairs don’t get straight feedback.
Board members want to be your friend. CEOs want to manage you.
Boards monitor managment, but they have trouble monitoring themselves.
In the current environment, funders may be calling you directly with concerns,
conditions, or expectations that weren't part of any job description
you signed up for.
We help you cut through that.

Practical. Direct.
Results-Oriented.

Leading a board can be stressful, especially when urgent decisions are needed amid uncertainty. Who is your sounding board? Who has only you in mind as a partner?

Our Chair Coaching enhances your skills with honest feedback, clear insights, and practical tools. Sometimes you need expert advice. More often, you need encouragement to make the tough decisions.
We're former Board Chairs, CEOs, and founders. We've faced similar challenges. Learn from our mistakes. Build on our successes. You don't have to do this alone.

The Process

Fit First  

Up to three meetings to see if coaching is right for you.

Define Objectives

Together, we document the goals for your coaching engagement.

Establish Baseline

Every engagement begins with an assessment of leadership skills. Stakeholder assessment can be added for more focus.

Weekly Sessions

One hour each month, confidential, and tied directly to your current work.

Commitment

Minimum three-month engagement, with refreshed objectives each quarter.

Evaluation

Every three months, you evaluate your coach, and progress is reviewed.

Honest assessments of effort and results.

A confidential advisor with no agenda but your success.

A partner who observes, challenges, and helps you see blind spots.

Practical techniques rooted in real leadership experience.

Clarity on when to act as a governance leader and when to step back — especially when funders, staff, or external pressure is pushing you toward a role that isn't yours.
