Chasen Brokaw, Co-Founder and Executive Director | Breaking Borders Inc.
“I am grateful for Sean’s insight and desire to share it with others. The board of directors is a fundamental part of any corporation, especially a non-profit, so I was thankful to learn more. As a Founder and CEO it is hard to motivate the board to get on my level. But the resources that Sean provided will help me do that!”

Trish Rollins, Development Manager | Reach Out and Read Greater New York
“While fundraising is all-in-a-day’s-work for some of us, we often fail to realize that Board Members typically have little to no fundraising experience. Sean Kosofsky provides a roadmap for engaging current Board Members, politely parting ways with Members who are no longer a good fit and building a Board that actually fundraises!”

Leigh Phillips, Executive Director | SaverLife
“Sean helped get my ideas out of my head and into a solid concept paper, and added many terrific ideas of his own that I would never have come up with. Working with Sean has opened my eyes to a whole new set of opportunities for our organization. He understands how to align strategic priorities with funder values and gave me the confidence to pursue a new set of foundations.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Group Coaching vs One-on-One Coaching
What is the difference between one-on-one coaching and group coaching?
With one-on-one coaching, you get dedicated time with me, Sean Kosofsky, The Nonprofit Fixer, without interruptions, distractions, or other coaching clients needing my attention. This allows way more customization, time, depth, focus, and problem-solving. It comes at a higher cost because you get me all to yourself. With group coaching you are sharing my attention with your peers. This can actually be a very good thing because, in addition to getting my eyes and ears on your leadership journey, you also get to engage the advice and support of your peers. With group coaching, you are offering help and getting help and have way more people involved. Many people love group coaching, especially executive directors because you get to build a community of your peers, which is HIGHLY valuable.
What is the price difference?
Group coaching is $2500 for one year. (Bi-weekly group sessions + Slack Community + Courses + perks)
One-on-one coaching is $5000 for 6 months and $9500 for one year. (Bi-weekly 55-minute sessions + perks)
Do you cover different things in group coaching than you would in one-on-one coaching?
Coaching is about change, goals, and transformation. Typically, in a one-on-one coaching arrangement, we do an intake questionnaire, then set goals and work toward addressing your personal and professional challenges, focusing on finding the answers yourself, but I will help when needed.
In my group coaching program, you also have the benefit of my Executive Director Boot Camp on-demand course.
How many people are in the group coaching program?
Currently the group coaching program has 11 people but the program is growing and may have 25 by the end of this year.
What are the pros and cons of group coaching vs 1:1 leadership coaching?
The main benefit of one-on-one coaching is the personalized attention. The main benefit of group coaching is that you get lots of people’s opinions, tools, resources and community support. The group coaching program is your absolute first stop if money is tight!
