As a donor, do you ever question whether your donations are having the impact you expect? Do you often feel like you are just writing checks to organizations because they asked or because it makes you feel good?

The goal of this program is to apply a coaching approach to leadership that will build up the capacity of managers and supervisors to improve the performance of their direct reports.
