Executive Leadership Coaching
Nonprofit and foundation leaders work to address the most challenging problems in the world. Yet many struggle with value clarification, team and board mobilization, low resources, and burnout. Mpower brings experience, proven methods and tools to address your challenges – and collaborates to build on your unique strengths to realize your mission. To view lessons learned on handling burnout, see this article in the national Blue Avocado magazine (circulation 65,000) by Steve McCoy-Thompson.
Board Development & Engagement
Boards and advisory councils are full of unrealized potential. To fully activate their guidance, resources and connections, they typically need three things: personal engagement with the mission, tools to transform that engagement and activate their network, and clear direction and support for what needs to be done next - every quarter. Mpower helps you realize the full potential of this often untapped resource with proven techniques and tools, including a clear Board Contribution Plan that both your Board and Team will appreciate.
Team Building
Strong teams combine vision, personal engagement and accountability. By listening closely, we tailor solutions to your situation and leverage core strengths to realize your vision. From team assessments to activate personal strengths and ‘working genius’ to action and accountability plans that achieve results, Mpower offers targeted tools and team focus sessions to build your program and impact.
Personal Business Plan
Whether you want to be a more effective leader, manage a career transition, or earn a promotion, it’s essential to have a plan. Our proprietary tool uses the Business Plan framework to help you clarify purpose and priorities that build on your core strengths, build a team of supporters, assess the market for your talents, create a ‘go-to-market’ strategy and brand, and review your financial plan.
Future Org Chart
Organization charts can be powerful tools to focus and motivate teams. If deployed properly, they provide a vision not only for the organization, but the needed skills and goals for team members who want to be part of future growth. They can also help define individual and organizational development plans.
Stakeholder Mapping
Successful organizations mobilize an integrated network of key stakeholders – from corporate and institutional partners to community groups, foundations and volunteers – to leverage limited resources for maximum impact. A Stakeholder Map is critical for defining and managing these complex relationships, including roles, responsibilities and impact benefits.
