You’ve made it to the top and now you are an executive director! You’re excited about this opportunity to make a difference in the world.
But you’ve discovered that you don’t feel prepared for this complex leadership role.
There are so many demands and so little time. Money is a constant worry. Sometimes, the board just doesn’t understand how to help.
You feel lonely and overwhelmed.
How can you possibly do your job well and make time for your own professional and personal development?
That’s where I come in.
