Step Into Balance announces pro bono executive coaching

The business community is well-aware of the benefits of strong, informed leadership for their bottom line. Executive teams understand that if they are to keep and attract strong leaders, they need to provide them with opportunities for growth. They know that:

• Young, diverse leaders are becoming a force for change
• These leaders expect to engage in purposeful work, and participate in ongoing learning

Wise business owners also know that nonprofits provide vital benefits to the community.

According to a 2014 report, Causes Count: The Economic Power of California’s Nonprofit Sector, nonprofit economic activity contributes 15% — or 1/6 — of California’s Gross State Product (GSP). As government funding diminishes for public services, the nonprofit community is taking up the slack. Leaders of busy nonprofits often envy corporate budgets with a dedicated line item for professional development.

Nonprofit leaders deserve all the tools they can access to hone their leadership skills and build organizational capacity. Step Into Balance is partnering with the business community to support the professional development of new and existing nonprofit leaders.

Chris Mall, Executive Director of Step Into Balance explains, “We are really enthusiastic about this project. As a nonprofit leader, imagine how invaluable it would be to have an experienced former Executive Director who is available for all kinds of consulting to provide a sounding board—just for you?”

He continued, “What if that coaching were available on a pro bono basis? We are offering a Pilot Program specifically designed to support nonprofit organizations through coaching, strategy development, governance trainings and a host of other services offered at no charge.”

Step Into Balance is looking for leaders of Marin's small to medium size nonprofits who are seeking capacity building skills to enhance individual wellbeing, strengthen organizational performance, and drive social impact through pro bono consulting services that prioritize principles of balance and alignment.
