Founded in 2000, Executive Alliance is a nonprofit membership association serving the Puget Sound Region.
Executive Alliance members are united in the common vision of a powerful nonprofit sector. We seek to promote a community that values the role of nonprofits through positive public image, adequate funding and active involvement of our leaders in community planning and public policy development.
Executive Alliance offers connection to and access for community leaders, while representing the nonprofit community where it matters most.
Peer Coaching Program
Click here for the Peer Coaching Brochure & application.
Remember the last time you had to make a tough decision and you felt like there was no one you could bounce your thoughts off of? Well, if you had been in a peer coaching group you would have 6-8 of your peers to bring your question to.
Executive Alliance’s Peer Coaching Program is designed especially for CEO/Executive Directors, Chief Financial Officers and Development Directors.
Peer Coaching circles are highly focused groups of peers who meet regularly to assist each other with problem solving and expanding perspectives / alternatives. These facilitated groups are composed of six to eight members who are able to commit to active participation, meeting once a month over eight months.
Confidentiality is a strong expectation. Meetings will be 3 hours with logistics managed by Executive Alliance. We will be forming Circles in late August to begin meeting in October. An orientation meeting will be held in early September. In order for the model to be successful, members are expected to attend regularly.
How they work?
- Each group member brings their own issues to the group and gets an equal time slot each session
- Members choose their own issues to explore and resolve, then take a complete look at the situation, explore alternatives, set realistic goals, take actions
- Coaching involves a variety of approaches and skills, including attentive listening, probing questions, brainstorming, supportive challenges, occasionally sharing materials and personal experiences

Why face your organization’s challenges alone, when you can get the support and encouragement from your peers.

Have you ever been faced with an issue that almost sent you around the bend? Can’t talk with your staff about it, can’t talk with your board about it and your family is tired of hearing about it.
Whether you are a seasoned or novice leader or somewhere in between, these executive director ONLY forums allow you to discuss the tough topics.
Held quarterly, these structured, yet informal meetings support your leadership development and effectiveness. Each meeting is designed to have 5-8 executive directors grouped together to discuss a topic. These table discussions allow each participant to share their challenge and or share their experience & expertise.
We all have something to share and something to learn.
