Board Coach information

What is a board coach?

Board coaches are experienced professionals who provide guidance and support to boards of directors and individual board members. They help improve board effectiveness, governance practices, and strategic decision-making through coaching, training, and facilitation. Board coaches often assist with board evaluations, leadership development, onboarding new members, and resolving conflicts. Their objective is to help boards operate more efficiently and fulfill their fiduciary and strategic responsibilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a board coach?

To thrive as a Board Coach, you need deep expertise in corporate governance, executive leadership, and strategic facilitation, often supported by experience on boards or advanced degrees in business or organizational development. Familiarity with board management software, governance frameworks, and certifications such as the International Coaching Federation (ICF) credential are highly beneficial. Exceptional communication, active listening, and diplomacy are crucial soft skills for guiding board members and fostering effective decision-making. These skills ensure that boards operate efficiently, address complex challenges, and drive organizational success.

What types of challenges might a board coach encounter when working with diverse boards, and how can these be addressed?

A Board Coach often works with boards composed of members from different professional backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. Navigating differing priorities, communication styles, and expectations can present challenges in building consensus and fostering effective collaboration. Successful Board Coaches address these by facilitating open dialogue, promoting inclusive practices, and offering tailored guidance to align board members with shared goals. Building trust and maintaining neutrality are also key to helping boards overcome interpersonal or strategic conflicts.

What is the difference between Board Coach vs Board Member?

Work EnvironmentProvides guidance and training to board members, often in a consulting or advisory capacityParticipates in board meetings, decision-making, and governance activities
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by organizations seeking to improve board effectivenessFound in nonprofits, corporations, and organizations with a governing board

In summary, a Board Coach focuses on training and developing board members to enhance their effectiveness, while a Board Member actively participates in governance and decision-making. Both roles are essential for strong organizational leadership but serve different functions within the board structure.

Job description

POSITION: LIFT Coach
REPORTS TO: Program Manager, Coaching
TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT: 16-24 hours/week, full year
WHAT IS LIFT?
LIFT is a national nonprofit on a mission to invest in families to break the cycle of poverty. We believe that racial and gender wealth gaps stem from structural inequities that keep them trapped in a cycle where poverty, like wealth, is passed from generation to generation. At LIFT, we interrupt the generational transmission of poverty by partnering with parents of young children to build well-being, financial strength, and social connections - or as we like to put it, Hope, Money, and Love. LIFT's one-on-one coaching program empowers parents to set and achieve goals that put families on the path toward economic mobility - such as going back to school, improving credit, eliminating debt, or securing a living wage. In addition to coaching, LIFT parents also receive direct cash infusions to reinvest in their families and goals.
LIFT is at an exciting moment in its organizational trajectory. We aim to scale our impact by 1) making continuous improvements to our direct service model, 2) partnering with health care, postsecondary education, early child development, and government organizations to deliver LIFT's model and influence change in those systems, and 3) influencing policy through the amplification of the voices of parents living in poverty on issues impacting their lives and communities. We are looking for team players who thrive in a growth environment of continuous improvement; are committed to LIFT's work to combat intergenerational poverty and expand opportunity for families; and uphold LIFT's values of diversity, equity, excellence, hope, and relationships.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The LIFT Coach is responsible for facilitating one-on-one coaching relationships with parents to support them in achieving self-determined career and financial goals. The LIFT Coach engages parents in goal setting and action planning, monitors parents' progress, and provides accountability and encouragement to parents over time. The LIFT Coach also connects parents to relevant community resources and information, and guides them as they practice new behaviors, actions, and skills necessary to reach goals. Finally, the LIFT Coach will additionally provide support on LIFT other projects, services, and parent recruitment efforts, as needed. Coaches serve a 12-month engagement with LIFT, which includes the academic term practicum as well as a summer internship either before or following the completion of the practicum.
Overall compensation for coaches varies based on the total number of hours and weeks coaches participate in the internship with LIFT in addition to completing their academic practicum. For reference, below is a breakdown of how coaches were compensated last school year. Final pay amounts for next year are currently under consideration for increase, pending LIFT's Board approval in June 2023. Coaches receiving an offer will be sent an initial letter to confirm placement as well as a follow-up letter later this summer with specific pay details upon LIFT Board approval.
  • Fall stipend paid on 12/15/2023 - $500-550 depending on hrs/week with LIFT
  • Spring stipend (scheduled to be) paid on 4/15/2024 - $500-550 depending on hrs/week with LIFT
  • Summer internship - $22 per hour for 15-week internship, which includes a paid summer break around the July 4th holiday ($5,280 estimated gross pay for summer internship based on anticipated minimum total number of hours worked; the actual amount paid will be based on actual hours worked).

AS A LIFT COACH, YOU WILL:
  • Create a positive, welcoming climate for parents and their families.
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with parents, partner agency staff members, and the local community.
  • Provide high-quality coaching to 10-20 parents to support their achievement of career and financial goals.

  • Maintain accurate files/records and document services to parents in LIFT's online case management system.
  • Maintain confidentiality in all matters regarding the children and families served.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE:
