Elevate Your Impact with Nonprofit Executive Team Coaching

I’m Ellie Jacques.

As an Executive Leadership and Next Level Nonprofit Coach, I help nonprofit leaders in the Boulder and Denver-metro region experience more joy at work and serve their clients with the highest level of excellence.

How coaching serves nonprofits:

  • Increases the resilience with which individuals and teams navigate change, weather growing pains, and grasp opportunities. 

  • Provides rhythms, focus, and accountability so that leaders can focus on the organization, not on facilitating.

  • Ensures fidelity to implementation of best practice systems - coaching is an ongoing relationship, not a set of recommendations or a diagnostic report.

  • Provides a 3-7% ROI on the coaching investment.

60-90 minute one-on-one coaching sessions help you pave the way towards professional actualization. Set clear goals, adhere to important life fundamentals, and compassionately pursue excellence while I help hold you accountable, stay encouraged, and use your personal values to guide your most important decisions.

In 12 years, I’ve coached in 3 countries with clients of 8 nationalities. Across different cultures, the dreams of all humans are similar: we all seek relationships, security, and meaning .

We often work together in organizations to achieve those dreams and shape community outcomes. By developing ourselves or our teams, we can achieve incredible things through the organizations we work in and steward.
