Great Leaders Create Waves of Change:

We Activate Your Nonprofit’s Ripple Effect

One Ripple at a Time

Nonprofit success is more than one person, but sometimes it feels like too much rests on your shoulders alone.

Do you feel….

  • disconnected from your community & mission - the reasons you took on your role?

  • this isn't what you expected as a nonprofit leader, and maybe you’re not ready?

  • something is off with your team & your relationships have suddenly become distant?

  • your are consumed by a never-ending to-do list & meetings, leaving no time for strategy & planning?

  • worried that when you leave, it would mean the end of the organization & all the work you’ve done?

  • overwhelmed & stretched thin with no time to take a lunch break, let alone vacation?

Every Leader Deserves:

Path Forward

Connection

Belonging

Support

Well-Being

Preparation

Path Forward • Connection • Belonging • Support • Well-Being • Preparation •

I’m here to transform that weight into waves of positive change, empowering you and your organization to create ripples of impact that extend far beyond your immediate reach.

Flip the Script on Nonprofit Leadership Burnout

At Ripple on Purpose,  I specialize in transforming nonprofit leadership landscapes by addressing core organizational leadership challenges, particularly the prevailing nonprofit survival mode that sets up executives and managers to struggle, constantly battle burnout and unrealistic workloads/expectations, unexpected turnover, leadership gaps  & transitions focused on survival. Choosing the right services can be daunting, especially when faced with common challenges like budget constraints, time management, readiness for change, organizational dynamics, and pre-existing developmental opportunities that exist to check-off a box but don’t address the root cause of leadership challenges. 

I understand these concerns, and that’s why my approach goes beyond conventional training, integrating experiential learning into daily operations for lasting impact. My approach empowers you and your staff to embrace responsibilities confidently by nurturing leadership potential and overcoming self-imposed limitations. Amidst ever-evolving organizational landscapes:

  • you and your team are prepared for seamless leadership transitions, ensuring stability and progress. 

  • We tackle common objections like time constraints and perceived readiness by seamlessly incorporating professional development into regular work routines. 

  • By fostering leadership growth from within, we reduce turnover rates and enhance staff commitment, leading to a more stable and thriving organization.

Clients experience renewed motivation, reduced burnout, and a strategic action plan for future leadership transitions - aligned personally and with the organization. Our unique blend of individualized growth strategies not only enhances present roles but also ensures long-term success, promising a brighter, sustainable future.
