There is NOTHING about working in a nonprofit that says you can’t have a solid career with middle-class compensation. You also have the power to construct the job so you have less stress and work-life balance.

Things like employment contracts, “no-meeting days,” the 4-Day Workweek are just three of the things we will cover to help you get paid better and be at peace. You have earned it.

Hi, I’m Sean, the "Nonprofit Fixer!" 

I’m a coach, consultant, trainer, and strategic advisor. For the past 30+ years, I’ve helped causes, campaigns, and candidates raise millions of dollars and transformed nonprofit organizations and leaders. I’ve served in a wide variety of roles in nonprofits, including policy, communications, development, grassroots organizing, direct service, board leadership, and five stints as an executive director. I’ve worked on a wide range of issues including LGBTQ equality, reproductive justice, voting access, bullying prevention, climate change, and more. 

You can see my work covered in media outlets internationally and I’ve received numerous awards and recognitions from the sector, the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan. I collaborate with leading nonprofit names like AFP, Candid, United Way, Idealware, Bloomerang, TechSoup, Wild Apricot, Funding for Good, Pamela Grow, and more. I own Mind the Gap Consulting, which offers coaching and consulting services for executive directors, boards, and fundraisers, as well as a suite of online training courses.
