Leadership Coaching for Social Impact Leaders

Helping leaders make the world a better place.

This low or no-cost program is available to leaders who are dedicated to creating positive and equitable social impact in public health, urban education, racial equity, progressive movements and campaigns, and other high-impact social initiatives.

It’s tough to create a business of purpose, especially when you have limited access to funding for leadership development opportunities. This bespoke program supports trailblazing social impact leaders in need of a trusted thought partner, helping them understand and practice different and more effective ways of strengthening their voice, cultivating influence – then watching the ripple effects take shape as they lead their organizations to greater impact with surprising speed.

This program will help you:

  • Navigate organizational power dynamics with insight, skill, and impact
  • Cultivate influence without positional power
  • Own your power productively
  • Conduct effective stakeholder and/or board management
  • Develop executive sponsors, allies, and funders
  • Lead inclusively across difference
  • Shift “Imposter Syndrome” and other self-limiting beliefs
  • Prevent and manage burn-out
  • Build leaders under you

“Bonnie coached me through some of the most intense, challenging, and rewarding elements of my personal and professional journey. I’ve been promoted twice, my team has grown from 3 to 100, and I’ve rapidly grown from a SME to an organizational leader. She has helped me stretch and grow as a leader during the pandemic and through the post-George Floyd racial reckoning, both of which had significant impact on my work. As a result, my team and I can have a bigger impact on critical issues and opportunities.”

“Through Bonnie’s work, I am a better leader. I have better frameworks for building our culture. I can set up systems and build a culture. From the earliest days of Swing Left we knew we could have tremendous impact and with Bonnie’s help, we realized this potential.

It was invaluable to my work at Swing Left to tap into the hard-earned private sector experience of Bonnie combined with her ability to translate this experience to a social sector environment.”

“Bonnie is wise, joyful, and incredibly incisive. She cuts to the core of the issue and is a wise companion as you walk around that core. She’s networked, well read, and intuitive — and can help in many ways on the leadership journey.”

“Bonnie is an amazing leadership coach who has helped me navigate through many transitions in a values-centered way; I always felt so well cared for and supported by her. I have grown as a leader because of my coaching with Bonnie. I am a better version of what I was before. I am more empathetic, skillful, able to provide the leadership others need, and am more insightful.”
