Thinking About Leaving Your Role?Here’s How to Prepare Your Team and Board Now


If you’re a nonprofit leader—even just thinking about stepping back in the next few years—this episode is for you.

In this conversation I had with Mary Barroll from Charity Village for their CharityVillage Connects podcast, I talk about the real reasons we’re facing a leadership crisis in the nonprofit sector… and why so many transitions fall apart.

Key take-a-ways from this episode

You’ve been quietly wondering:

  • How do I leave without everything falling apart?
  • Is my team ready?
  • What will my board say?
  • What’s next for me?

​This episode will help you:

  • Start the right conversations—without fear or guilt
  • Understand the gaps in your current team’s readiness
  • Recognize the role your board must play in succession
  • Develop a plan to step back with confidence—and integrity
  • Lead now in a way that prepares your people for later

Whether you’re leaving next year or in five, don’t wait. Now’s the time to get intentional about your legacy.
