THE "WHAT IF YOU COULD?” WORKSHOP FOR NONPROFIT EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND THEIR BOARDS

What if you your next Board Retreat was the day everyone saw the same picture?

Funding is shifting. Demand is rising. And you are holding more of it than anyone realizes. In one focused session, your board and staff decide together what matters most now, and you leave with a clear direction for the next 12 to 18 months.


You shouldn't have to carry the whole picture alone.

The people you serve need your organization here next year. That takes a Board and staff who are clear on what to protect, what to build, and what to set down. Most strategy conversations begin with the problems. This one begins with the full picture, including what’s changing, what’s strong, and what’s possible.


Three questions. One room. A shared direction.

What’s Changing?

Name what is shifting around you, honestly and together, so no one is planning from a different set of facts.

What’s Strong?

Find what your organization does best for your stakeholders, and why it’s working. This is the ground you build on quickly.

What’s Possible?

Envision the priorities that deserve attention and energy now, with the people who will carry them forward.

Every workshop ends with your Strategic Direction Brief: your aspirations, in your voice, as the foundation for the decisions ahead. It is short enough to use and clear enough to share with others. It’s direction you can act on now and revisit as conditions change.


“Working with Kelly Stewart has been a transformative experience. I especially value how she helped us build on our strengths. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just help you envision the future, she equips you with actionable steps to document, implement, and measure your initiatives and goals. Her approach has empowered our organization with a clear, forward-thinking framework that we will continue to build upon for years to come.”
— Michelle Stiner, Exec. Dir. Central Pennsylvania Community Action Inc.
“With her inclusive approach, Kelly made sure that [everyone] had a voice in the process. The well-organized retreat was highly attended allowing for lots of conversation among Board members and staff, out of the box thinking, and goal setting reflective of the organization’s successful past and ambitious future.”
— Dr. Tobi Bruhn, CFRE Former Vice President, Advancement | Executive Director, Foundation & Alumni Relations Bucks County Community College
