For many nonprofit executives it can be lonely at the top. Especially today, when pressures are escalating and resources shrinking, the stress on key leaders is monumental and the opportunities to refresh and recharge limited. And chances to understand how peers in other organizations are coping and what they are learning are almost nonexistent.
Taking best practices from peer-learning research and programs nationwide, ESC has created the Leadership Roundtables, a program of uniquely tailored peer-learning sessions designed to provide these vital leaders with exactly this kind of support.
In each Roundtable cycle, a group of 12-16 nonprofit leaders come together for eight monthly sessions to share their experiences, questions and ideas for tackling challenges and making the most of change. Designed for leaders from all sizes of nonprofits, the Roundtables are primarily intended for executive directors. However, from time to time ESC will also hold Roundtables geared to certain sectors or other key staff, such as fundraising leaders. ESC’s expert facilitators guide this confidential peer-learning and sharing experience, which gives participants a new community of colleagues who help one another learn and grow, celebrating successes and sharing in resolving challenges as well. The Roundtables currently run at least twice per year – contact us for the schedule of upcoming session(s).
