TRANSITION & SUCCESSION PLANNING
How does your organization make way for new leaders and ensure continuity and performance in times of planned or unplanned transitions? Walker & Associates Consulting can create transition and succession plans unique to your organization to make sure things stay on track during periods of great change. Many nonprofits and philanthropies benefit from, but also become heavily reliant upon, the trust, effectiveness, and relationships of long-term leaders without much, if any, thought to what happens when those leaders move on or retire. We listen, learn, and assess key positions, responsibilities, relationships, and capacities to identify optimal strategies for your organization to prepare to successfully navigate change such as pipeline development, cross-training, knowledge development, and more.

LEADERSHIP COACHING & TRAINING

Once the right talent is in place how do you cultivate it to ensure growth? Even leaders at the highest level of organizations can benefit from one-on-one coaching and small group training. Walker & Associates Consulting can facilitate collection and assessment of actionable 360° feedback for executives and provide individualized coaching to support effective onboarding of new hires as well as to support continual development and enhanced performance of already entrenched leaders. With thought-provoking, interactive content and impactful delivery, we also provide custom small-group trainings on competencies such as change management; diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; and maximizing individual and team performance leveraging tools such as StrengthsFinders/CliftonStrengths.
