ONLE Charity Leaders Mastermind
Charities perform a unique role.
And they also have unique challenges.
Whether you are leading a charity or the fundraising operation alone, with a small staff or as part of a large organisation, you will experience periods of isolation and intense pressure. Yes, you have people ‘on your side’. But like you, they are so invested that it can be impossible for you or them to always think clearly and objectively. As a leader, you must avoid admitting that you don’t have all the answers. You may be unable or unwilling to share personal professional worries and concerns with fellow leaders or close colleagues in the charity.
ONLE Charity Leaders Mastermind connects you to other third sector leaders who know how you feel.
You will be able to share your frustrations, problems and opportunities in confidence. Your peers can give you fresh ideas because they care, yet are removed from the everyday realities of the charity. All members must sign a non-disclosure agreement, so confidentiality and discretion is assured. Your ONLE Charity Leaders Mastermind group will become the team you rely on when issues get in your way.
ONLE Charity Leaders Mastermind is small groups of charity CEOs, Directors and Trustees discussing challenges, capitalising on opportunities and achieving their goals
How will ONLE Mastermind help you?
Find the answers to YOUR unique questions
We can all learn from courses, books and online references. But these sources by definition are generic.
ONLE Mastermind allows you to find the solution to YOUR problems - not the masses’.
Learn from other charity leaders on your level
Your charity’s maturity and ambition mean you have a different outlook than others you meet. ONLE Mastermind connects you with people and charities of similar size with common challenges, meaning they immediately get you.
Become part of a team
Running a charity is about more than numbers and processes. The emotional element is vital, and your ONLE Mastermind group is there to discuss the feelings and dilemmas we all face, but often don’t have time for.
A safe discussion space beyond home and the workplace
The gap between home and work has almost disappeared since lockdowns began. ONLE Mastermind is the ‘third space’ to discuss your work with people who care, but who are not directly affected by your decisions.
Together, we have the answers
