Leverage your strengths to master the unique balancing act of nonprofit leadership.
High-performing nonprofit organizations have high-performing leaders – at all levels. Nonprofit SideKick’s Leadership Accelerator Program leverages CliftonStrengths® to help nonprofit leaders learn more about themselves while mastering the unique balancing act of nonprofit leadership.
Seasoned, new, and emerging leaders will explore five challenges unique to managing nonprofits and discuss ways to master those challenges using their natural talents. They will learn how to build better relationships with their teams, boards, funders, advocates, and other community leaders and leverage their strengths to create sustainable, high-performing, high-impact organizations. Both board and staff leaders at all levels are also welcome to attend.
The Leadership Accelerator is a six-month program that begins with a full-day workshop, followed by monthly online group coaching sessions and individualized support. During the full-day workshop, we will work with each leader to explore their strengths and opportunities for growth and co-create a personal leadership plan that fits them personally and their organization. Then we will stay with them for six months to help execute as they implement their plan.
The program also includes a full-year membership in our online community, where leaders can access additional nonprofit leadership resources, weekly peer support huddles, and expert Q&As.
All workshops are held at The HQ at CNX, Canonsburg, PA 15317.
