  • Executive Peer Coaching Group Facilitation
    Leading, managing, or raising funds to move an organization closer to reaching its mission requires skill and training. The Burtin Group offers Executive Peer Coaching Groups to Executive Directors, CEOs, Development Directors and Chief Development Officers. Each small group, featuring 5-8 not-for-profit professionals plus a professional coach/facilitator, is designed to build each participant’s coaching skills, confidence in their own leadership, and ability to take action that will grow their organizations
  • Executive Leadership Coaching and Counsel
    Not-for-profit managers are asked to wear many hats, and perform at high levels with minimal resources. This high wire juggling act is not always easy. The Burtin Group consultants provide one-on-one guidance to not-for-profit leadership. Our experienced consultants have each spent many years as an Executive Director, VP of Development, or CEO of not-for profits. Each understands the pressures and challenges of the position and can help staff leaders with: developing specific strategies to achieve their goals, developing expectations and/or job qualifications for new hires, positioning their organizations for funding, handling Board issues, and other concerns.
