Advocating Efficacy and Joy in Your Family Philanthropy

BOARD TRAINING & COACHING
​
Board training: Learning together

Picture
Has the joy gone out of your board meetings? Are new board members — the next generation or not — joining your board and you aren't sure how to orient them? Are some board members doing all the work and others not doing any?

I offer governance training, new board member orientations and help bring on the next generation of trustees to their family's foundations. Identifying potential problems and working out solutions — before they become entrenched — will help your grantmaking efforts to be successful, shared and enjoyable.

Coaching:
​one-on-one

I have found that a regular “check-in” with Julia has sharpened my thinking, ensured that I am on the right track, and made me aware of broader issues in the field.

— Lara Iglitzin
Executive Director

Henry M. Jackson Foundation
Are you functioning as your foundation's managing trustee or executive director? Do you find yourself teetering on a tightrope between the most effective grantmaking and supporting family engagement? 

Perhaps you have employed a foundation manager, executive director, or program officer, and you want to build their skills to serve your foundation more effectively. Or you are that foundation staff and are challenged by being the only non-family member at the foundation.


Or you're just starting out and wish you had someone to help you, step-by-step, launch your family's philanthropy.

You aren't alone! Most of my clients have experienced these situations. My coaching can help guide you to make decisions instead of being overwhelmed by everything on your plate. We can meet regularly, speak by phone, Google or Skype. I am also happy to be on call for when issues arise.
