Board Performance Consultant

Reshape | Refocus | Reengage

If you’re a top executive frustrated with your high-potential but low-performing board, **you’re not alone**.

A recent report from Stanford University found that half of nonprofit directors believe their fellow board members are not engaged in their work with the organization, while a third are not satisfied with the board’s ability to evaluate the performance of the organization.
Meanwhile, **a full 70 per cent of nonprofit boards don’t have a succession plan in place** in the event that the current CEO or executive director leaves, and **40 per cent don’t have formal targets in place for measuring CEO performance**.
Considering that **70 per cent of nonprofits have faced one or more serious governance-related challenges in the past decade**, these stats don’t bode well for the ability of nonprofit boards to quickly respond to issues as they arise.

How would you like your board to be less work and more help?

**I know what you mean.**

**I’ve worked with boards of directors, as a chief executive**, a member, an officer and a chair.
**I’ve been a good board member and a bad board member.**
I can help you with a wide array of services designed to get your board’s oars in the water, rowing in the same direction.

Testimonials

Leslie Harrison - Chair-elect, East Texas Food Bank Board of Directors

“We were immensely pleased with TD’s facilitation of the East Texas Food Bank board retreat. He assisted us in formulating our goals, sent a proposed agenda to review, and structured a program that incorporated everything we conveyed to him. He was in contact with us for several weeks prior to the event, checking in to see if we had questions and making suggestions to ensure that we had a successful retreat. He kept us on schedule, his presentation was thorough, and he was engaging and energetic. We appreciated his congenial style and expertise and would absolutely use his services again.”

Lindsey Garner - President & CEO, Communities in Schools of Greater Tarrant County

"TD was the perfect person to facilitate our Board’s recent strategic planning session. He brings executive presence and years of leadership experience, which is obvious in how he directs the flow and pace of conversation. At the same time, his friendly and energetic personality ensured our team accomplished our objectives while still having a fun and engaging time. We would certainly use him for future leadership sessions!”

Karen Wald - Board Chair, My Possibilities

"My Possibilities engaged TD to assist in developing a strategic framework for the organization. Planning meetings and communications prior to our strategy sessions were efficient yet comprehensive and ensured we were well prepared. TD skillfully guided our sessions—every voice was heard, respected and valued. The result is now MP has a strategic road map that is actionable and will help create a world of inclusion, dignity, and opportunity for people of all abilities. On a lighter side—working with TD was fun! If the opportunity arises, we would engage TD again.”
