Leadership Learning Lab: elevate your skills

Calling Nonprofit Leaders who want to do more!

More for yourself, more for your mission, more for your team members and more for your organization.

As a  Nonprofit Team Leader you’re tired of pushing and pulling things along, trying to do more with less.  

You know it’s important to connect with your team members to understand their challenges and support them, but it’s time consuming.   And time is always in short supply.   

You know helping them grow is part of your job, that will make not just your team, but the whole organization more successful. And you have no idea where to start.  Your team is full of purpose driven people and you worry that if you fail to fuel that purpose they will leave.  

You get the link between learning and motivation but the learning feels irrelevant or like another burden on the to do list.  So you make a choice -  either focus on the mission or be a nurturing boss. 

Oh wait!  There is that third option. That’s the one where you heroically work all hours trying to fill in the gaps. Stretching yourself thin, and trying to do it all, leaving you burnt out and resentful.  

So you carry on - short changing your team, your mission and yourself, struggling to see any other way to keep all the plates spinning .   

How did it get like this?   

You invested your heart in this work because you believe you can make a difference.  You are powered by purpose. You want to do work that reflects your values, but the daily drudge is dispiriting, and as you fall asleep at night you wonder, “why bother?”

What if there was another way?

Imagine feeling connected to your team members, able to understand their strengths and how they’d like to grow. Now each day you embrace obstacles and frustrations as challenges and learning projects, and your team follows suit. Working with a purpose makes people happy and you are creating an environment that supports that.

You’re energized because your team is inspired and motivated by you and their work. You’re ready with the tools to help them see the work as part of their personal adventure rather than a list of tasks. 

The learning is relevant and integral to the work, so progress is both tangible and fulfilling - not just for you but for your team too!

You’re able to implement quick and easy strategies that move you and your team forward. It’s decisive action fueled by focused and aligned conversations.

You know how to maximize the impact of your leadership from the most micro of moments, whether that’s bumping into people at the water cooler or chatting on zoom between calls. You intentionally use those moments to build trust and create alignment.  

It’s crystal clear who owns what and where the priorities lie. This insight creates positive boundaries that reduce anxiety, and increase focus and productivity. 

You’re the boss everyone wants to work for.  

You’re the leader who gets things done.  

Your team is the one buzzing with energy and ideas.

And imagine if all that could be accomplished by making just a handful of small, intentional changes!

How can I help you?

And what if only one small change made all the difference? Do you know how to find it? I do.   

I help dedicated nonprofit leaders increase their organizations positive impact by improving team members skills and motivation. (That includes you, the leader!)

The leaders I work with recognize the importance of individual growth but feel overstretched and unclear as to how to make it happen. Sound familiar?

I create focused and efficient learning experiences, for those leaders and their teams, that develop inspired and committed individuals who consistently drive positive change.

Which firmly establishes you as the leader who delivers.

Delivers for your team and your organization's mission.

Delivers on your values and purpose.

Sounds helpful?  Let’s dig in

As a result of this program

You’ll recognize your personal strengths as a leader and know how to leverage them to inspire your team.  

You’ll learn to appreciate the strengths of individual team members so you can support their growth and success, making them feel more valued and engaged.

Inspiration and focused coaching will improve your connection with the team, so you better understand the challenges they face and can more effectively support them in pushing through    to work to their full potential and deliver even more great work

You’ll also experience strengthened trust and improved communication, creating improved alignment so more of the right things get done faster.

You’ll be a leader who creates more trust, creativity, loyalty and energy … which of course is going to lead to a High Performing Team!

What’s included?

You’ll start with a Situation Scan!  

This quick and simple questionnaire will get us clear on the landscape of your team and your leadership style.  Completing this ensures we start off aligned, letting us quickly focus on the real challenges during our next step.  That way we can go deeper, faster!

Then it’s time for the Leadership Lab

This live 1 hour private analysis of your unique leadership style and organizational needs.   We’ll dig into team dynamics and what you are looking to accomplish.  By the end of this session we’ll have uncovered a handful of ways you can make the minor adjustments to how you lead that will deliver the big results you’re looking for.   From these tools and techniques I will identify the BIG ONE that will form the basis of your Leadership RX.  At the end of the hour we’ll immediately transition into a 15 minute overview of the next steps, so you’ll be crystal clear on how to use your Leadership RX when it arrives 2 days later.

Let’s unpack your Leadership RX Video and Support Tools

Your personal Leadership RX comes directly from your Leadership Lab conversation.  This is where we get laser focused on the one small change recommended just for you, that will give you the biggest benefit in meeting your personal leadership challenges.   

You’ll receive:

• A short video outlining your personal Leadership RX.  The video will talk you through the exact steps you need to take each day to complete your learning challenge. 
• An activity checklist
• A curated collection of optional additional resources
• A template for the daily Accountability Check-in 

You’ll be following this prescription for 10 work days.  Throughout this sprint you will be supported with the  Accountability Check-in. 

By providing focus, additional information and accountability, these items all support you in taking that one small step which will have the most meaningful impact for you and your team.

Get ready for the Accountability Check-in

The clock is running on your 10 days!  Each day you will use this Check-in to track and report on how you are doing.  In less than 20 minutes each day you will implement your Leadership RX and complete your Accountability Check-in. Don’t be surprised when the benefits of this relatively insignificant time commitment feel like a huge game changer.  It’s all because you’re doing the most important, focused and intentional work for you. This RX is truly about a small and regular dose of development!

Looking back and ahead at the Conclusions Clinic

This 30 minute debrief consultation at the end of your 10 day RX sprint will review the lessons you learned and the progress you made.  We’ll map out ideas for future prescriptions so you can build on your success and go from strength to strength.

Really?

Yes, really, you can finally become the leader who brings positive change to your special corner of the world.  You don’t have to work all hours and you don’t need to agonize over uncomfortable compromises.  You can lead with purpose and high performance.  

And I can help you get there.  

Together we’ll uncover insights to identify the small changes that will bring the big results.   It’s not magic, it’s smart intentional work backed by research that puts people where they belong, at the center of driving change.    

Imagine how it will feel in less than a month from now when you have made this change happen!   

“Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.”
