Powerful Peer Learning for Nonprofit Leaders

"When you see that other executive directors have had the same problems and survived, you do not feel so alone.  It is helpful to learn from each other.”


Creating a network of mutual support

The Leadership Network brings together senior leaders from diverse nonprofit organizations for a monthly program that combines real-world experiences with a problem-solving methodology.  In a confidential environment, leaders share their challenges, receive feedback and ideas and build confidence to implement solutions.  The result is a powerful and unique peer learning experience.

A new model of leadership training

The Leadership Network combines professional training with strong peer support. Participants receive: 

Top quality management and leadership training usually available only in a corporate setting.

A trusted relationship with peers who share challenges and successes in a supportive, confidential environment.

A proven problem-solving process that can bring immediate results within your organization.

Confidence as a leader who can make a difference in your organization and community.

A sense of community that diminishes the isolation nonprofit leaders often feel in a climate of growing demands and shrinking resources.

New partnerships and more collaborative community planning.

A new network of resources

The program provides a rare opportunity for nonprofit leaders from a variety of disciplines – the arts, social services, education, etc. – to meet in a confidential and supportive environment.

Experienced executives and emerging leaders find common ground and new learnings through the Leadership Network.

A key outcome of the Leadership Network has been the evolution of a sustained peer network beyond the program.

A new approach to problem-solving

The Leadership Network class consists of a small group of nonprofit leaders who meet for a full day session, once a month for seven months.

While similar to a CEO roundtable concept, the program is distinctive in many ways:

Participants develop solutions for each other’s challenges such as board relations and new marketing strategies.

Training modules are woven into the class day on topics such as conflict resolution and how to build a learning organization.

A specific, problem-solving methodology is taught at the beginning of the program and participants apply this methodology to bring structure to real-world issues.

A skilled facilitator with extensive experience in organizational development leads the class.
