How to Build a Leadership Growth 🌱 Plan For 2025 That Works ⎜For Nonprofit Leaders

As a nonprofit leader, I know how hard it is to juggle the endless demands of your work while trying to make time for yourself. I’ve been there.


Early in my leadership career, I was trying to manage teams, raise kids, keep my marriage intact, and finish a degree—all at once. Most days, I felt like I was falling apart.


I thought that if I just worked harder, things would get better. Instead, I found myself stuck in a cycle of burnout and frustration.


What finally changed everything for me was learning to focus on myself!

  • I set short-term, realistic goals that matched my priorities instead of trying to do everything at once.
  • I created a plan to grow, with actionable steps that kept me moving forward.
  • I built habits that worked with my chaotic life instead of against it. 🥴

Those small but powerful changes not only helped me become a stronger leader but also brought clarity and balance to every area of my life.


Here’s how I did it:

  1. Reflection: I started by reviewing the past year. Taking time to look at what I’d accomplished and how I’d grown gave me a baseline for what I wanted to change. You can get a free guide to review last year here.
  2. Goal Setting and Planning: Next, I didn’t just set vague goals like “be more organized” or “reduce stress.” I created a plan that broke my goals into manageable quarterly steps.
  3. Support and Accountability: Finally, I got help! My leadership coach helped me stay focused and gave me the tools to turn my intentions into action.
