National Leadership Institute

NLI educates, coaches and trains nonprofits & board members in modern leadership & governance methods. Most can be customized to fit your specific needs.

We know that boards filled with great leaders equals a stronger community. NLI is the home of "Board Match Now," a proprietary matching service. National Leadership Institute (NLI) was founded to help build better boards and better leaders, which creates a much stronger community. We help nonprofits run like a strategic, successful business, especially those with small budgets but large ambitions.

Smaller organizations frequently have boards with unquestionable passion for the mission, but little or no experience in actual board governance, and often even less on how a board can function as a strategic asset to the leadership. NLI is dedicated to helping boards and organizations learn how to effectively & efficiently collaborate. A focused, strategic board means a nonprofit can have greater impact. We provide experienced, world class faculty with a powerful combination of extensive nonprofit expertise plus with corporate board experience to organizations who need it most, but otherwise... might never be able to afford it. NLI is here to help organizations think strategically to achieve excellence. Most nonprofits start with true heart and unquestionable passion for a cause. But statistics show they often fail to and sadly, too many eventually go OUT of business. We specialize in all things board related, and offer:

-Governance Training (Board and Staff)
-Evaluations (Board and Staff)
-Board Succession & Retention Planning
-Mission & Vision Strategy Sessions
-Fundraising Classes
-Leadership Training
And much more! Programs run from two hours, to full day sessions or multi-day retreats. The cost per program is low. It's world class experience at an affordable price. We're truly here to help YOU! Our experienced faculty represents a broad range of Fortune 500 Corporate and Nonprofit board experience. Their extensive experience brings a wide array of talent, training and techniques to you... so you can better meet your mission.

Need some positivity in your workplace environment? Here's a Workplace Positivity Tip to try!

Don't Should On Yourself!

"All through our lives our parents, friends, teachers, and the media tell us what we should and should not do and be. By the time we are grown, we have accumulated a lot of should. I should do this...managers should and salespeople should. Count the shoulds in your life. They may be weighing you down," says Joanna Brandi, Certified Chief Happiness Officer and NLI Expert.

Her recommendations? "Change the 'I should,' to 'I choose to' or 'I could.' See if they take the pressure off of you. Put a big sign in your kitchen [or workplace]. Today I will NOT should on myself. Read it every morning." - JoAnna Brandi.

A great Tip from JoAnna Brandi!

“No matter how negative you are feeling, chances are there is someone, somewhere, feeling worse than you. You can move from the negative place you are in by helping someone move from the place they are in.” - JoAnna Brandi, Certified Chief Happiness Officer and NLI Expert.

Examples: Help out in a soup kitchen. Lend a helping hand around the neighborhood.

“Get involved and soon you will begin to appreciate all that you do have.”

Helping someone else, within the workplace or the nonprofit board you serve on, can be a great opportunity to spread cheer within yourself and your team.
