Description of services:

My mission is to guide Boards of Directors to develop the structures and procedures that will enable them to translate the skills, resources and passion of their members into an effective partnership with staff leadership. Working collaboratively, I assist boards in creating the structures needed to:

• Develop a shared understanding of the leadership, oversight and support that their organizations need from them
• Identify and create the individual expectations, board values and procedures needed to support and motivate this work

Background on you and/or your business:

I have successfully coached the boards of more than 50 organizations. I bring over 30 years experience in nonprofit management as a Board President, Manager, Consultant and Attorney as well as the perspectives of careers in Education, Anthropology and Law

Testimonials and/or references:

"I hired Michael as a consultant to help facilitate a challenging board retreat and as a coach on organizational matters. I was very pleased with his handling of the projects and subsequent follow-through. I have found Michael to be consistently insightful, direct, and thoughtful. He is someone who will state his opinions, which I value, particularly given his wealth of experience. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again. Great Results, Expert, Good Value. " ~ Dave Bolotsky, past Chair, Comprehensive Development, Inc.

"Michael coached me at a particularly difficult time in my professional life. I needed someone with perspective, a calm head, and deep experience in my field. Michael had all of those. He helped me learn some difficult truths about myself with great kindness and compassion. The skills I learned through his guidance enabled me to grow and gain both competence and confidence.” ~ Jenny Hansell, Executive Director, North East Community Center

“I have received many positive comments about your workshop both from our Directors and the staff. The staff found it especially informative as many of them said they never really understood what the Board did. Everybody enjoyed the interactive format. You did a terrific job of focusing on the key issues and giving us tools to effectively address those issues.”  ~ Chris Schwartz, Director of Development, Grace Church Community Center
