Not so in the business world, where coaching has become a regular part of professional and leadership development.

Now, funders like the Kellogg Foundation are working to make coaching a more recognized and utilized tool to develop organizational and leadership capacity in the nonprofit sector. Why? Because coaching is an effective way for new and established nonprofits to develop strong, confident and effective leaders. Executive Directors, Board members and senior staff all benefit from the support and accountability that coaching offers.

In fact, the Kellogg Foundation has joined with Compass Point to create the Coaching and Philanthropy project, an effort to promote coaching in the nonprofit world. To find out more about this project, click here.

The Franko Group has added individual and group coaching services to its offerings this year because we, too, believe that the support and accountability that come from a strong coaching relationship can advance the effectiveness of both nonprofit and public sector organizations.

Have YOU ever used coaching as a nonprofit executive or board member. We’d love to hear your story!
