90 Minutes Crisis Management Session
with Nancy Fournier Ph.D., Leadership Coach for Women Nonprofit Executive Directors
It has never been harder to run a nonprofit, everyday feels like navigating a snowy hill in high heels.
As a nonprofit leader, you are facing a new level of uncertainty and confusion.
- The values of your organization are under attack.
- You worry about your clients and their safety.
- Federal actions have devasted your funding streams and your other funding partners are being evasive.
- There are new political divisions among your Board, and they seem less engaged than usual.
- Your staff is demoralized.
Yet, you are expected to provide steady leadership, calm the fears of staff and clients, and develop varied scenarios for your Board based on a future you cannot predict. You have to act as if you have the answers when you are just as rattled as everyone else.
You deserve actionable support to:
- Create a plan to navigate the current climate.
- Prioritize your focus in the face of competing demands.
- Clarify what you need from your Board over the next six months.
- Develop contingency plans if the worst-case scenarios come true.
- Locate and activate your strong leadership skills.
It is time to stop doom-scrolling! You need individualized strategies that are specific to your unique nonprofit.
Until you create a realistic strategy to make it through this unprecedented time you will continue to feel powerless and demoralized.
You don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I’ve been helping women nonprofit Executive Directors run their organizations effectively with maximum impact since 2008. As a former nonprofit Executive Director, I have managed my fair share of crisis- I have the experience and expertise to help you assess the situation objectively with unshakable resolve to create a game plan to best position your organization in light of its current challenges.
In this private virtual strategy session we discuss the specifics of your nonprofit’s crisis and increase your confidence in your leadership as we:
- Prioritize a plan of action.
- Develop financial contingency plans.
- Create a clear messaging strategy for all your stakeholders which honors your organization's values.
- Explore potential partnerships to strengthen your community presence.
- Galvanize your Board to insure sustainability.
Imagine feeling secure with a realistic, actionable plan to help you manage the crisis you are facing as a nonprofit leader.

NOTE: Schedule your Strategy Session at least 1 week from today as I will be customizing and sending you a Questionnaire that you’ll need to return no later than 48 before we meet.
Let’s put our heads together and figure out a way to maintain the important work of your nonprofit.
