If you’re a nonprofit leader—even just thinking about stepping back in the next few years—this episode is for you.

In this conversation I had with Mary Barroll from Charity Village for their CharityVillage Connects podcast, I talk about the real reasons we’re facing a leadership crisis in the nonprofit sector… and why so many transitions fall apart.

​You’ve been quietly wondering:

• How do I leave without everything falling apart?
• Is my team ready?
• What will my board say?
• What’s next for me?

​This episode will help you:

• Start the right conversations—without fear or guilt
• Understand the gaps in your current team’s readiness
• Recognize the role your board must play in succession
• Develop a plan to step back with confidence—and integrity
• Lead now in a way that prepares your people for later

Whether you’re leaving next year or in five, don’t wait. Now’s the time to get intentional about your legacy.

Ready to build your leadership confidence, develop leadership skills and find balance.
