Transforming the Nonprofit Executive  – Moving From Surviving to Thriving In Your Career

Transforming the Nonprofit Executive – Moving from Surviving to Thriving is a 12-week in-depth course with nonprofit consultant Kari Anderson, Principal at Incite! Consulting Group. You’ll dive into roles and responsibilities that executive directors juggle in order to ensure organizational success. Most importantly, you will leave with a framework to organize and prioritize where and how to spend your time!

When you became an Executive Director, were you given a manual detailing all of your responsibilities? A playbook to follow to ensure your success?  If there was, you sure haven’t received it!

Until now.

Transforming the Nonprofit Executive – Moving from Surviving to Thriving is a lifeline for overworked and burned out nonprofit leaders.  If you’re the executive director or chief executive officer at a nonprofit organization, and sometimes wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into, read on.

In Transforming the Nonprofit Executive – Moving From Surviving to Thriving, Kari Anderson pulls from her 25+ year nonprofit career to give you tips and tools to ensure your success.   From self-management and staff coaching, board development and fundraising strategies, public relations and an exit plan, you’ll learn from an industry expert how to navigate the often-murky waters of a nonprofit organization.

I launched Incite! Consulting Group to provide organizational leadership, fundraising strategies and systems overhaul to small and medium size nonprofits.  My coaching with nonprofit leaders  – board, executive and staff – uses best practices, industry research, real-time stories from the field and the school of hard knocks.

In my consulting practice, to date I’ve provided board education and retreat facilitation, executive director coaching, staff trainings, strategic, fund development and succession planning services to over 60 nonprofit groups.

Why does that matter to you?  Prior to launching my consulting firm, I spent 25+ years in key leadership roles with seven nonprofit organizations.  As the Executive Director or lead development staff, I focused on leadership, organizational change and fund development for Lutheran Social Services, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Heart Association, The Logan School for Creative Learning, Real Colorado Soccer, the Vail Valley Foundation and Central Washington University.

The bottom line: I’ve been you – and I’m good at it!

And, here’s my confession – I created a mess along the way.  Most of the challenges I faced – challenges with staff, volunteer revolts, board mutiny, crisis fundraising, bad PR and no exit strategies – were of my doing.  I have the scraped knees and bloodied chins from thinking I could do this on my own, that I didn’t need to delegate, that I could use volunteers as doormats, that thank you was not important.

I created Incite! Consulting Group, and Transforming the Nonprofit Executive – Moving From Surviving to Thriving, as a way to ensure that this path isn’t so lonely.

Transforming the Nonprofit Executive – Moving From Surviving to Thriving is not what you might expect from a nonprofit consultant.  It’s your chance to schedule “nonprofit therapy” in a one-on-one setting and really move the needle with your own work plan.  This program is your virtual accountability partner, and you’ll have access real time to real world solutions to apply to the challenges you’re currently facing.

You’ll complete the program with tips and tools designed to move you from survival mode to a thriving executive.

My promise to you:

When you sign on for a 12-week program you’ll get more than an executive director’s manual.  You’ll come away from our time together truly understanding your leadership role in the nonprofit sector.  You’ll have a new grasp on how you need to manage yourself to fulfill your organization’s mission.  Overall, you’ll have the tools to ensure that your organization has sustainability – during your tenure and when you decide to move on.

This program is for:

• New executives –new to the organization, to the position or to the nonprofit sector!
• Seasoned execs who have hit a wall. You desperately need some nonprofit therapy!
• Senior staff who aspire to become an Executive Director. You want to lead, and want to position yourself with every tool you can when the right position appear.

Admit that you’re just not ready yet if:

• You don’t have a professional development budget, or don’t believe in yourself enough to secure this line item in your budget.
• You’re not ready to tackle some of your leadership and management roadblocks.
• You’re perfectly happy in your current place – no issues ANYWHERE to address.
• You’re fully staffed and have a wait list for volunteers to help you.
• Your board embraces their governing and financial roles, adheres to terms and term limits and LOVES to fundraise!
• You are an accomplished storyteller.
• You have an exit plan.
• You’d rather just continue to do what you’re doing now, because it’s easier.

Remember.  I’ve been here.  I know what it’s like to feel like you have no control, that you’re being run over by your staff and volunteers and micromanaged by your board.  That you have no handle on your budget and fundraising goals, and would like to bolt.

You can keep going it alone and not much changes.  You’ll make a little headway, take a couple of steps forward, hire a good staff member, retain a good board member, come close to hitting your development goals this year.

Or you can put an end to struggling and join my program where I’ll guide you from surviving in your role as Executive Director to thriving – and loving – your job again.
