About RK Advising | Supporting Nonprofit Leaders

Through Executive Coaching & Consulting

After two decades of executive nonprofit leadership, my mission is to help nonprofit leaders achieve greater impact with less stress and more joy. I combine my years of experience in nonprofit leadership, executive coaching, and consulting, to bring a holistic and solution-focused approach to the challenges you face. My vision is to create a world where nonprofit leaders thrive while driving transformative change in their communities.

My mission is to support nonprofit directors and leaders to make impactful changes while staying true to themselves. Over the past three years, I’ve helped over 80 leaders and teams across industries reduce stress, amplify their impact, and embrace a fulfilling leadership journey.

My executive coaching and leadership coaching services are designed to meet the evolving challenges of mission-focused leadership with innovative, empathetic, evidence-based approaches. I specialize in leadership with purpose, helping leaders create work-life balance that allows for less stress and more joy while making their greatest impact on their teams, organizations and missions.

Executive Coach | Nonprofit Consultant

I successfully led three nonprofit organizations over two decades and spearheaded two multi-million dollar capital campaigns to create housing for homeless families.

Now, I leverage my extensive experience to support mission-focused leaders through leadership coaching and executive coaching, helping them change the world with less stress, greater impact, and more joy.

I expertly guide leaders and teams to achieve clear, calm focus on their priorities. My evidence-based coaching methods foster sustainable leadership, better relationships, and improved work-life balance, enabling leaders to lead with purpose and intention.

My approach to leadership coaching is rooted in my core values of courage, authenticity, and grace. Whether you’re navigating challenges in your role or looking to enhance your leadership with purpose, I’m here to guide you in creating a positive, lasting impact.

In my free time, I enjoy kayaking, outrigger canoeing, and backpacking with my husband and our two big dogs. A dedicated yoga practitioner and self-proclaimed word nerd, I embrace life’s adventures with enthusiasm and a sense of humor.
