90 Minutes to Strengthen your Agency Staff
with Nancy Fournier Ph.D., Leadership Coach for Women Nonprofit Executive Directors

If you do not have staff who you trust as capable decision-makers, you are always double-checking their works, resolving conflict, and providing step-by-step directions, leaving you stuck doing their job with little time or energy for your Executive Director responsibilities.
Getting your staff to a place where they feel confident in their roles, supported by each other, and energized to creatively problem-solve would make your job so much easier, allowing you to focus on strategy and fund-raising and building your agency.
All nonprofit Executive Directors struggle with creating a healthy work culture and setting clear expectations with their agency staff. There are unique challenges for women leaders, it is hard to find the line between assertive and aggressive, between empathy and being taken advantage of.
Your staff may have become too dependent upon you to solve their work relationship problems. You deserve practical solutions to:
- Determining if you have the right people in place.
- Approaches to loosen control while keeping your authority.
- Ways to motivate your staff to meet your expectations.
- Changing dysfunctional interactions between your staff.
Staff Retreats alone will not resolve your staff management issues.
If your staff is not meeting your expectations, it is hard to focus on anything else.
You don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I’ve been helping women nonprofit Executive Directors improve their staff management and perfect their delegation style since 2008. I was a nonprofit Executive Director with a large staff of different skill and motivation levels. I have first-hand experience with the challenges of inspiring staff and know the hard work it takes to shape them into a true team of capable, autonomous decision-makers.
When your staff shares your vision and acts with autonomy, your agency will increase its impact.
In this private strategy session we will identify your staff management challenges and brainstorm new approaches so you can:
- Easily clarify expectations with your staff.
- Coach your team so they are motivated to take on more leadership.
- Delegate tasks with confidence.
- Create a more collaborative work environment.
- Build your leadership pipeline.
Imagine having a strong staff team which is clear in your expectations and consistently willing to take the initiative to solve problems and deepen your agency’s impact.
- A customized pre-session questionnaire to seed our conversation
- 90 minutes of private coaching with me to improve your delegation habits or board engagement
- A session recap with key points and your next steps
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 begin to build the agency you have dreamed of.
