Executive Leader Cohort
Find the confidence and community to lead at your fullest potential.
You are invited to a space where you can move from merely surviving in your executive role, to fully thriving! Join this 10 month journey of in-person gatherings with a circle of Executive Directors and CEOs who have been in their positions for less than three years. Deepen your confidence and courage in your own leadership, develop and sustain positive organizational culture, and set goals for achievement that will make a tangible difference.
What Will You Experience?
- Fully understand all aspects of the Executive Director or CEO role for nonprofit organizations.
- Create a personal leadership philosophy, identifying how you want to embody and be perceived in your role.
- Cultivate your authentic voice as a leader to influence and engage with others in more meaningful ways.
- Enhance problem-solving skills and navigate challenging conversations with the confidential support of a certified professional coach and consultant.
- Learn to build productive relationships with board members and staff that center collaboration and agency success.
- Gain perspective and knowledge from a cohort of peers.
How is this Unique?
While it is important to focus on the best practice operations of nonprofits, this experience embraces the belief that it is just as important to grow resilient leaders as it is to have strong organizations. The personal development of change-makers will help sustain missions that matter into the future.
Mission Matters strengthens organizations from the inside out, unlocking their potential to make an even greater impact. We are experts in collaboration.
Our experience empowers organizations to fully realize their mission through:
- facilitation and strategic planning;
- leadership development and coaching;
- capacity building and organizational resilience;
- as well as growing strong boards.
