What I Offer

The Next Level Nonprofit Operating System and Coaching Service

Next Level Nonprofit is a nonprofit operating system that supports passionate leadership teams to professionalize and amplify their impact

NLN clients improve their Organizational Assessment scores by an average of 39.5% after working with a Coach for one year.

This means :

  • Teams become more unified with the right people in the right seats

  • The vision becomes more compelling, and the story easier to tell

  • Organizational strategy grows more effective

  • And their execution becomes more disciplined

NLN differs from other business operating systems because it uses nonprofit language that reflects nonprofit values and focuses, while also incorporating the best practice methods from for-profit companies.

NLN also centers the “who” first, while traditional operating systems center the “what” and the “how”. We believe that the right “whos” lead to the best “hows” and well-executed “whats” for your clients.

Unlike for-profit companies, NLN recognizes that nonprofits serve more stakeholders, with fewer resources, in a tougher emotional landscape, and without receiving market value for their products and services. That level of complexity deserves the highest-quality coaching available, designed especially for nonprofits.

In 12 years, I’ve coached in 3 countries with clients of 8 nationalities. Across different cultures, many aspects of human nature are delightfully similar. We seek relationships, security, and meaning both at home and at work. This truth is the source of power or misalignment in organizations. Systems are composed of complex individuals. As we implement operating systems and develop the organization, we learn more about our work, ourselves and each other.
