Why This Might Be Exactly What You Need Right Now

You’re a nonprofit leader who cares deeply, works hard, and wants to make a difference. But lately, leadership doesn’t feel good. It feels heavy.

The Signs of Survival Mode

• You second-guess your decisions
• You’re overwhelmed by your to-do list
• You are constantly afraid of dropping the ball on something
• You feel disconnected from the kind of leader you wanted to be

Why It Feels Off

Maybe you’ve been trying to lead the way you were taught or the way you think you should. Models that often reflect outdated, masculine ways of leading that don’t match who you are or how you want to show up.
​But it’s not working, and it doesn’t feel like you.

You know something needs to change!
You’re craving space to think, reset, and reconnect with the kind of leader you want to be.

What this experience offers:

This 6 week guided experience is your chance to pause, reconnect with what matters most, and start leading in a way that feels grounded, confident, and aligned.

This isn’t your average book club.
It is part workshop, part coaching session, and part personal reset. Yes, we’ll read Character Driven Leadership for Women, a book written specifically for women in the nonprofit sector. ​But more importantly, you’ll do the reflection work, the hard questions, and the realignment that will help you lead from your values, not just your job description

“Kathy’s book club gave me a space to slow down, reflect, and really see who I am being in moments of pressure.

​Her guidance helped me understand the power of pausing and leading from the character I want to embody rather than from stress.

I left the book club feeling encouraged, supported, and inspired to keep learning and applying these practices in my leadership.”

I wrote this book for you!

​ I wrote this book because I was that overwhelmed leader.  

​The one who stayed late, held back tears, and kept wondering if she was cut out for leadership.  

It wasn’t until I realigned with my values and stopped pretending to lead like someone I wasn’t that everything changed—for me, for my team, and for the life I wanted to live outside of work.

Now I help other women do the same. And we are going to do that together with this Character Driven Leadership for Women Book Club.

Each week, you’ll reflect on your leadership identity, connect with your values, and uncover the strengths you’ve been pushing down or trying to hide.

√ You’ll start to lead in a way that feels aligned
√ More natural and...
√ True to who you are

By the end of our time together, you’ll...

• Feel more confident, calm, and clear in how you lead, even in the hard moments.
• Know your leadership identity and how to lead from it with integrity.
• Start using your strengths instead of second-guessing them.
• Set boundaries that actually stick.
• And finally, stop pretending to be someone you’re not.

​
√ You’ll feel less alone
√ More supported
√ And more like you

What Others Are Saying

"Diving into Character Driven Leadership for Women was like stepping into a masterclass tailored for women leaders in the nonprofit world. So often I feel a distinct weight of being a woman, of being my own worst enemy in trying to do too much, be everything to everyone, and pretending that I will prioritize my own self-care. Kathy Archer’s focus on values over perfection and her practical tools for self-reflection left me feeling empowered to lead authentically."
