Association executives often lead in isolation. They carry the weight of strategy, board dynamics, member expectations, and personal drive—often without a true sounding board. At Vista Cova, we offer coaching that understands the unique rhythm and complexity of nonprofit leadership, because we’ve lived it.
This isn’t executive coaching for performance tweaks. It’s deep, empathetic, and strategic partnership for those navigating transition, seeking clarity, or simply needing space to think out loud with someone who understands their world.

Executive Coaching & Leadership Support Resources
Lowell is wonderful at facilitating associations to navigate through challenging conversations about an association's future. He helped to keep the discussions positive and future-focused rather than dwelling on the current challenges. He also was able to break down the tasks into manageable chunks which allowed the CUR board to acknowledge progress throughout the retreat. The product at the end of 1.5 days isn't finished but in a state that will allow the Executive Committee to hone the draft and prepare a nearly final version.
