Coaching serves nonprofits by:

Increasing the resilience with which they navigate change, weather growing pains, and grasp opportunities
Fill any gaps between a team’s passion and its capacity to serve
Provide rhythms, focus, and accountability so that leaders can focus on the organization, not on facilitating.
Walking alongside the client for systems implementation - this is a relationship, not a set of recommendations or a diagnostic report!

Next Level Nonprofit is a nonprofit operating system that supports passionate leadership teams to professionalize and amplify their impact

NLN clients improve their Organizational Assessment scores by an average of 65% after working with a Coach for one year.

This means :

Teams become more unified with the right people in the right seats
The vision becomes more compelling, and the story easier to tell
Organizational strategy grows more effective
And their execution becomes more disciplined

In 12 years, I’ve coached in 3 countries with clients of 8 nationalities. Across different cultures, many aspects of human nature are similar: we all seek relationships, security, and meaning at home and at work.

This truth is the source of power or misalignment in organizations. Organizations are composed of complex individuals. As we implement operating systems that develop the organization, we learn more about our work, ourselves, and each other.

How It Works

NLN differs from other business operating systems because it uses nonprofit language that reflects nonprofitvalues and focuses, while also incorporating the best practice methods from for-profit companies.

NLN also centers the “who” first, while traditional operating systems center the “what” and the “how”. We believe that the right “whos” lead to the best “hows” and well-executed “whats” for your clients.

Unlike for-profit companies, NLN recognizes that nonprofits serve more stakeholders, with fewer resources, in a tougher emotional landscape, and without receiving market value for their products and services. That level of complexity deserves the highest-quality coaching available, designed especially for nonprofits.
