Is your nonprofit in trouble? 

Workshop Description:  Every nonprofit, no matter how strong or well-established, faces moments of challenge. But the difference between surviving and stumbling often comes down to one key factor: the ability to recognize the warning signs early—and respond with clarity and decisiveness.

This conversation is a candid, solutions-focused event designed for nonprofit executives, board members, and senior staff. We’ll examine three of the most common—and most overlooked—indicators that your organization may be heading toward trouble: financial instability, staff burnout or turnover, and a disengaged or dysfunctional board.
This session doesn’t just name the problems; it focuses on what to do next. Each topic will address how to identify the issue early, assess the severity, and take strategic, values-aligned action to prevent crisis—or mitigate its impact.

We’ll explore:

• Financial Red Flags: What operating at a deficit, draining reserves, or donor fatigue really signal—and how to make a financial pivot before it’s too late.
• Staff Burnout and Turnover: What it means when your team is chronically overextended or leaving, and how to respond through restructuring, streamlining, or shifting expectations.
• Lack of Board Leadership: When board members disengage or undermine the organization’s mission, how do you re-engage—or redefine—board roles and responsibilities?

Format:  This one-hour session is designed to be both informative and practical, followed by 30 minutes of open Q&A for peer discussion and expert guidance.

This is not a doom-and-gloom session—it’s a reality check-in and a roadmap. You’ll walk away better equipped to spot trouble before it spirals and take steps that protect your mission, your team, and your future.
