Coaching and mentoring charity CEOs: The case for time and money
Given the unprecedented range of leadership challenges currently facing charity CEOs, coaching and mentoring offer them an important potential form of personal support and development. Yet charity CEOs often find it difficult to justify spending money, and sometimes even just time, on their own personal development.
Join us for this one-hour webinar where Dr Andy Bird will share the findings of a recent doctoral research study exploring the roles that coaching and mentoring play for charity CEOs in the UK.
Wednesday 23rd April
12-1pm
