The Adaway Group
Desiree Adaway
I work with organizations and individuals that want to create lasting change.I help organizations overcome challenges every day by partnering with talented leaders to successfully navigate through integrations, reorganizations, and various stages of organizational evolution. I design programs and strategies that create revenue and advocates for organizations. I also work with individuals who want to donate to worthy organizations, but are not sure where to start or the best way to leverage their donations so more can get done sooner.
I bring my clients insights and expertise from having served in senior-level roles in the nonprofit sector. My expertise also includes information technology, grant management, environmental nonprofit, social justice nonprofit, and faith based organizations.
I also share my thoughts on the nonprofit sector and share information to help you build your trusted tribe of believers and advocates here on my blog or my newsletter.
If you want personalized and intensive coaching and consulting with me, read on.
Coaching can have enormous value as a stand-alone strategy for developing leaders and their organizations. Many organizations are waking up to this critical point and are looking for leaders that understand the value of coaching. An increasing number of grant makers are incorporating coaching into leadership development and capacity-building programs for nonprofits to maximize the impact of these investments.
Coaching becomes one tool among several for strengthening the organization. There is a clear link between individual development and improvements in organizational performance.
