1:1 Leadership Coaching
for Leaders of Color Stepping Into Their Biggest Roles Yet in Nonprofit & Social Impact Organizations
You stepped into a bigger role, with bigger expectations… and it feels harder than you expected.
You’re carrying more responsibility, more visibility, and pressure than ever before.
There is important work to do, but not enough time or people to do it, and it feels like everything needs your attention.
You’re responsible for decisions, people, and results, and it can feel like everything depends on you.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re a leader of color stepping into a higher-level role in a nonprofit or social impact organization.
You may be a first-time Executive Director, Senior Leader, Program Director, Founder, or C-suite leader.
Even if you’ve been in the role for a few years, it can still feel heavy.
You may be:
Struggling to manage a board that has real authority over you but doesn’t always show up or follow through
Leading a team that doesn’t take ownership, where decisions and direction keep coming back to you
Pulled into every issue, making it hard to step back and lead strategically at the level your role requires
Navigating high-stakes conversations with staff, funders, or partners and feeling the pressure to get it right
Feeling the weight of increased visibility and authority, where your decisions, words, and presence are being watched more closely than ever
Constantly putting out fires, with little time or space to focus on what actually matters most
This coaching is for you if…
This is 1:1 leadership coaching designed to support leaders of color stepping into real authority.
My coaching helps you step fully into your role as an executive leader.
We work together to:
Lead with confidence and authority in high-stakes conversations
Make clear decisions without overthinking or second-guessing
Lead your team strategically, without carrying everything yourself
Focus on what matters most instead of constantly putting out fires
Run your nonprofit with clarity, confidence, and direction
Our work blends honest conversation, practical tools, and accountability. We focus on how you think, decide, and act as a leader, so you’re not just reacting to what’s urgent, but leading intentionally.
Over time, clients tell me they feel more clear, confident, grounded, and steady.
They trust themselves more.
They know how to lead their organization without doing everything alone.
Ultimately, I coach leaders of color stepping into their biggest roles and bigger expectations, and help them lead those roles well.
