Executive Board Coaching

Board member frustration, miscommunication, and unresolved conflict can undermine a board’s effectiveness. These problems manifest as poor morale, infighting, stubbornness, triangulation, and stalemates that compromise the integrity of what boards are brought together to do.

Good news! Your board is composed of talented individuals with a wealth of experience and commitment. Most often when miscommunication and conflict occur, the root of the problem lies within the different personalities at the table, each attempting to contribute in their own way, but speaking different languages. Without the self-awareness and skills to recognize and respond effectively to the personality differences around the table, a few members dominate, and the talent and experience of the rest go largely untapped.

Next Element will take board members through a process that empowers this talent and passion while reducing negative energy. Our coaches are trained to help boards recognize and value their unique gifts, reduce miscommunication, turn conflict into creative energy, and improve efficiency in decision-making. We will take you through a process that begins with self-awareness, then moves to developing skills for appreciating and leveraging differences, and finally to decision-making and conflict resolution techniques.

Whether you are looking for a unique board retreat experience, or seeking specific board training, Next Element has the expertise and the tools you need to achieve higher functioning.
