Run your nonprofit

Fixes for visionary nonprofit leaders — from an expert who’s seen it all

Where’s the user manual for this job?!

You took on this work to champion a cause you believe in. But if it feels like…

  • You’ve been dropped into the deep end

  • You’re expected to build the plane while flying it solo

  • Juggling all your responsibilities is swallowing your life

  • Burnout is waiting on the other side of your next board meeting

You’re not alone. I’ve swum in these waters, flown the plane through bumpy skies, juggled those knives, and looked burnout in the eye.

Every nonprofit leader needs support to really make an impact — and that’s what I’m here for. 

Bring Out The Kickass Leader In You.

Your organization has been waiting for a leader like you to turn vision into impact for the cause.

  • “Being an ED can be isolating — but Sean is a great listener, asks a lot of questions, and helped shift my mindset when I needed it most. It's been great talking to someone with so much knowledge and experience. We worked through many things I was struggling with, and I walked away with a plan. Money well spent!”

    Laura Carmichael, Autism Alliance of Northeastern NY

  • “Working with Sean has been a transformative experience. He provided a dedicated space for thought partnership, expert guidance, and a healthy dose of truth serum! Sean has been one of the most encouraging coaches I have encountered and an invaluable resource.”

    Marcela Barrientos, Co-Executive Director, New York Civic Engagement Table

  • “I was at a total loss from the impact of the pandemic overall and desperately needed insight, direction and resources. Sean just ”gets it,” from years of real experience running nonprofits — I didn’t have to spend time explaining my challenges. He brings real understanding, practical insight and options for direction, an ability to instill confidence with humility and integrity.”

    Krista Girty, Ozone House

I’m Sean.

In my more than 30 years of nonprofit experience, I’ve led five organizations as executive director — and seen the good, the bad, the ugly, and the life-changing. 

I had to do a lot of things the hard way to become a successful leader, but now I can show you the easy way: shortcuts to success without cutting corners. 

If you’re looking for a keep-it-simple, no-B.S. copilot to help you navigate this world, let’s get to know each other.
