Board and Team Development

Whether your organization is navigating growth, recovering from tension, clarifying roles, or simply ready to work more strategically, a facilitated retreat can create the space your group needs to pause, reflect, and move forward with clarity.

With over 30 years of experience working with nonprofit boards and leadership teams, I design sessions that are engaging, grounded, and practical - balancing honest dialogue with clear next steps.

When Is It Time for a Facilitated Retreat?

Organizations often reach out when:

  • Board meetings feel unproductive or overly operational

  • Roles between board and staff are unclear

  • The organization is navigating leadership transition or growth

  • Communication challenges or interpersonal dynamics are affecting morale

  • The board wants to move from “well-intentioned” to truly strategic

  • A newly formed team needs alignment and shared norms

Sometimes there isn’t a problem — just a desire to grow stronger. Proactive reflection can be one of the most powerful investments a board or team makes.

What You Can Expect

Every retreat is customized to your organization’s needs and culture.

Most engagements include:

  • A thorough needs assessment to clarify goals and understand the organization

  • Thoughtful, customized agenda design

  • Structured, inclusive facilitation

  • Clear documentation of agreements and next steps

  • A written follow-up summary

Sessions are designed to feel focused and productive, while still allowing space for relationship-building and reflection.
