For Executive Directors and Managers
While a healthy Board of Directors expect their Executive Directors and managers to run day-to-day operations, they also need to ensure that adequate support is in place for success. Providing and experienced coach for support and guidance is a great option for supporting the leaders of the organization.
Online Coaching Sessions
On-line coaching is a cost effective and efficient method of coaching our clients. With access to technology we can provide coaching services in any time zone! Typically the ED will receive weekly one hour coaching sessions that prove to be productive and beneficial for operational advancements.
Face to Face Coaching Sessions
If your organization is in the Chicagoland area we can provide face-to-face coaching services at your location or nearby; making it convenient if your organization plans to offer other services such as in-house workshops, team building experiences and other group events later.
Let's See what you're doing?

Strategic Planning
A Roadmap to the Future
All organizations should have a strategic plan that supports its mission and vision for the future. What drives me crazy however, is when the plan is adopted and then placed in a file cabinet for safe keeping! What!!!! If a document titled Strategic Plan is not tainted with coffee stains and a few crumbs of leftover blueberry muffin, I am concerned. Use it, abuse it and measure it against all of your current and future activities.
A strategic plan is used to create boundaries with measurable goals and objectives. After all of the ideas, dreams and visions for the future are debated, the reality sets in. Funding, capacity, target populations, and commitment to carry it out all comes into play. That's when the great work happens! That's when the 3-5 year plan evolves. without the proper supervision (A qualified facilitator), the plan can be nothing more than a burden on the board, staff and organization.
Ever walk into a lunch room after handing out the strategic plan to the staff only to arouse a food fight? Well, that's what a poorly designed strategic plan will do to you! So before you sit down with pen, paper, white boards and markers, give us a call. We can help!
