Coaching for Nonprofit Professionals
Nonprofit professionals are asked to do more than ever, from raising funds in uncertain environments, managing teams with care and accountability, navigating internal conflict, and leading through constant change. I offer one-on-one coaching for nonprofit and public-sector professionals who want thoughtful, practical support as they navigate the challenges of mission-driven work.
My coaching is grounded in more than 20 years of nonprofit leadership experience and is designed to help you think clearly, lead with confidence, and move forward with purpose.

How Coaching Aligns With My Core Service Areas
My coaching work complements and aligns with the same focus areas reflected across my consulting services. Rather than advising on solutions, coaching supports your leadership within these areas.
Fundraising leadership, donor strategy, and managing development pressure.
Managing staff, teams, and board relationships.
Navigating internal conflict and difficult conversations.
Leading through organizational change or growth.
Clarifying roles, priorities, and decision-making.
Building confidence as a leader without burning out.
Aligning daily work with mission, values, and equity commitments.
Preparing for a new role, transition, or increased responsibility.
what it’s like to work with me
My coaching is practical, reflective, and grounded in real-world nonprofit experience. I don’t offer generic leadership advice, I partner with you to:
Create space to step back and think strategically.
Strengthen your leadership presence and communication.
Work through complex dynamics with clarity and confidence.
Identify realistic next steps that fit your organization’s context.
As a certified professional coach with a Master’s in Social Work and longtime experience in the nonprofit sector, I bring both structure and empathy to the coaching relationship—helping you move forward thoughtfully and sustainably.
coaching vs. consulting
While my consulting work focuses on organizational strategy, communications, and fund development, coaching is centered on you—your leadership, decision-making, and growth. Coaching can stand alone or complement consulting work, depending on your needs.

real results
“Danielle has a natural sense of wonder which shows in her asking deep questions. This empowers me and I leave each session with usable ideas, feeling more free than when I came!”
“Danielle is an excellent coach! She listens deeply and responds with provoking questions to help define goals. I left sessions with a renewed focus on self-inquiry and the tools needed for internal discovery. I have already recommended her services to several friends!”
“I came to Danielle at a time when I was feeling stuck and uncertain about making a career change. I’d known for four years that change was necessary but I was overwhelmed by figuring out where to go next, how to go about it, was I sure it was the right thing, etc. Danielle offered a safe and supportive container in which to unravel these questions, brainstorm new possibilities, work with my fears and all the things holding me back, and make sure that my new path would work for me, my values, my goals, and my family. I’m now in a training program in my new field and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, Danielle!”
