“The experience was amazing. My coach offered an objective sounding board not connected to my day-to-day work and helped me realize what I needed to be a more effective leader for Public Allies. Before we began, I thought that I just needed to motivate myself to focus more on fundraising. Through our conversations and the DISC assessment, I learned to appreciate my staff more, predict what information my board needs, and [understand] how to support my own wellness as a leader. Public Allies DC and I are making significant progress with fundraising, and the lessons learned go well beyond my original goals.”
