NAWA Executive Director Gathering | Wednesday, January 28, 2026 from 2:30PM – 4:30PM PT
Online via Zoom – This gathering will not be recorded
The role of a nonprofit executive director is full of opportunities and challenges. All too often those holding this pivotal position may feel isolated or alone on their journey. The Executive Director Gathering provides a space to learn together, support each other, and share wisdom. We invite executive directors, and those serving in similar roles, to join us for an afternoon of shared learning and connection led by NAWA’s Executive Director, Neal Mizushima.
This ED Gathering addresses a common leadership challenge: creating staff overdependence through constant problem-solving. Participants will discover how to shift from “rescuing” to coaching using seven powerful questions from The Coaching Habit, transforming their approach to performance management, feedback, and difficult conversations while reclaiming valuable time. You will gain tools to lead powerful 10-minute coaching conversations that develop your team’s capacity, reduce your workload, and transform performance management from dreaded to impactful.
