Executive & Leadership Coaching

Empower Your Leadership, Elevate Your Mission

Leading a nonprofit organization is an extraordinary journey filled with opportunities to create impact.

As an executive leader, you shoulder the responsibility of advancing your mission while managing intricate decisions, team dynamics, and your personal growth as a leader. I’m G. Scott Mitchell, CPA, MBA, CFO, & Nonprofit Leadership Coach, and I partner with faith-based nonprofit leaders to uncover opportunities, overcome obstacles, and craft strategies that empower you to lead with clarity and purpose.

Crossroads

Leadership isn’t without its crossroads. These pivotal moments, when the path forward feels uncertain, can redefine your organization’s trajectory and your role within it.

  • Feeling Stuck: Are you wrestling with barriers that hinder progress or finding it difficult to chart a clear path ahead?

  • Mission Drift: Has your team become bogged down by day-to-day tasks, losing focus on your greater purpose?

  • Leadership Isolation: Do you feel the weight of decisions resting solely on your shoulders without the support you need?

  • Lack of Synergy: Are your personal leadership goals misaligned with your organization’s mission and strategies?

  • Growth Hurdles: Are leadership or operational challenges preventing your organization from expanding its reach and impact?

The pressure of these challenges can lead to burnout, frustration, and missed opportunities to realize your full potential. As a nonprofit CFO and executive leader, I understand these challenges firsthand. The good news? You don’t have to face them alone.
