Hi, I'm Kathy Archer

Leadership Development Coach and Author of Mastering Confidence

I was once in your shoes! I worked in the nonprofit sector for over 25 years, with 15+ years leading teams.

I often felt exhausted, scared, and frustrated and wasn’t sure I was measuring up.
There were days my confidence wavered.
I was stuck in survival mode and constantly felt like I was about to unravel.

Finally, at the end of my rope, I created a plan that helped me grow my skills and develop confidence.

As I took action, I became more competent & confident and found my way out of survival mode.

Now it's your turn 🤗

If you are ready to lead your nonprofit
with confidence, lets get started!

The nature of leadership in the nonprofit world is crisis-driven

Constantly dealing with fires, crises and drama leaves you incapable of doing your best, erodes your confidence and wreaks havoc on the rest of your life.

👉 The problem is that you likely moved from a front-line position into leadership without the training to do it well.

On top of that, you may not have anyone one supporting, guiding and coaching you to reach your potential.

As a result, you feel like you:
✅ always have too much to do
✅ never have enough time to do your work well
✅ struggle to find the training and support you need

That is a great recipe for burning out or staying stuck in survival mode for the rest of your career!

And that’s just plain wrong!

You deserve training, coaching and mentoring to be your best!

I believe that no one should have to "Do" Leadership Alone!

I'm here to be on the journey with you! 🙋‍♀️

We all need training, support and guidance to lead well, however, in the nonprofit world,
you often lack the resources and support to get that training.
AND...You deserve training, coaching and mentoring to be your best!

👉 This is how I built my confidence and got out of survival mode:
When I said I created a plan to build my confidence and get out of survival mode,
I did that by taking things into my own hands.

I didn't wait for my boss to tell me what to do or for their approval for training.
Instead, I created a curriculum for my personal and leadership development and followed it.

👉 This is how YOU can build your confidence and get out of survival mode:

Now I teach, coach and mentor you to do the same inside The Training Library
Inside of the membership site I have created a library of on-demand training courses for you to access easily.

It's time to increase your confidence!

What other leaders experience working with Kathy Archer

I'm so thankful for Kathy's sage advice and constructive questions. As a result of our coaching session, I managed to have an awesome meeting with my leadership team.

They seemed to appreciate the reframing and my commitment to raising awareness and being open to feedback. I used my strength of humour where appropriate and lots of grace (chalked up to learning), and I believe I strengthened the relationships with the managers.

I so appreciate the support that Kathy provides!!!

Elizabeth

Kathy has already made such a difference. I can't believe how on-point she is in identifying my triggers, weak spots, strengths, and opportunities for growth. In addition, she is reminding me how important the emotional aspect of all of this is, which is a big hard lesson for me but clearly one that matters.

I really can't thank Kathy enough. I'm extremely grateful to have her insights and guidance as I navigate this next important career phase.

Sue

Kathy's guidance in my personal & professional life has helped me more than she may ever know!

Jill Harrigan

The Library gives me a resource to use when I feel less than confident about a subject. It allows me to walk through the process and redirect or reframe my thoughts. I use the tools in The Training Library to "systemize' my thought process and build and refine skills.

By joining the Library, I've gained access to Kathy. Her coaching has completely changed my life. She has helped me reframe my shortfalls and learn the power of intentionally speaking and thinking.

One thing I am sure of about being a leader of a non-profit is always expecting the unexpected. Having a professional coach by your side is invaluable because they are usually the only person who gets what you are going through and talking about when you need to vent. Kathy Archer is the best Coach I know. Thank you, Kathy, for all you do to help women leaders be their best selves.

If you're looking for a serious, step-by-step, incredibly practical resource to help you be a better leader,
Kathy's Training Library is the place.

You could be fooled by all the pink, flowery graphics, and the always-smiling face of Kathy. You might think it was easy or frivolous or all about some lame 'I'm ok; you're ok' BS, but I can assure you, it is not.

Kathy has developed a vast collection of courses broken down into pieces you can tackle as you have time. I'm a bit of a Type A so I thought I'd just tackle them in order and complete one a week and be all done. But the reality was (duh!) completely different. Each topic comes with highly thought-provoking assignments that practically arm-wrestle you into better, clearer thinking about HOW you actually approach your role and your work.

I can honestly say it's been humbling and inspiring, challenging and rewarding, and without a doubt, game-changing for me. I found the Library of tools so valuable that I quickly decided to ask Kathy for some coaching. That has been even more impactful.

Kathy asks me such amazing questions – often extremely difficult to answer, but they always help me identify key components of the challenges I'm facing and, more importantly, how I might tackle them differently.

Kathy is the real deal, and her Training Library is an incredibly easy, valuable, and cost-effective way to access her insights. I'd highly recommend it to anyone seeking real improvement in their work/leadership experience."
