COACHING
You
have become, hands down, Leading nonprofits is hard work. A CompassPoint study found this in a median executive-director tenure of four years or fewer and the 65 percent who are “once-is-enough” first-timers in the job. According to the study, executive directors “enjoy their jobs as a means of addressing important community needs (mission) but don’t want to do it again because of the high stress involved (burnout).” Though many experts bemoan the state of the field, there is much to celebrate when it comes to leading nonprofits. The CompassPoint study found that most executives take the job because of the “mission of their agencies as well as their own desire to help others and to give back to their communities.” Furthermore, almost all experience a high level of enjoyment in their work. Executive directors are not alone. In his study of 1,140 nonprofit employees, Paul Light found that nonprofit employees are “highly motivated, hard working, and deeply committed [and are] motivated primarily by the chance to accomplish something worthwhile.” First Light provides highly personalized coaching services to help executive-level leaders accomplish something very worthwhile indeed as they navigate the complexities of the top office. Executive coaching is always goal-oriented from the get-go and usually begins with 360-degree assessment using Personnel Decisions International state-of-field assessments. Charles Handy writes, “In our hearts, we would all like to find a purpose bigger than ourselves because that will raise us to heights that we had not dreamed of.” Where better to find it than the nonprofit sector? And where better than First Light to find executive coaching services that comes from a "been there - got the t-shirt" seasoned executive? Whether you're a C-level executive, a rising star or fallen angel, First Light's executive coaching services can help. You
gave me hope!
