Richard Brewster is the Principal of Nonprofit Leadership. He works with nonprofit executive directors, other staff leadership, board chairs and other board officers to plan strategy, identify how they can generate more revenue and manage finances effectively, lead and manage the Board, and create and maintain a fruitful relationship between the Board and the CEO/Executive Director.

Richard held leading positions in nonprofits for more than 20 years, including eight years as chief executive of one of the UK's largest charities, and five years as executive director of one of the US's leading nonprofit support agencies. He also spent four years talking with and studying a cohort of people in executive positions in around 80 nonprofit organizations:  how, as leaders, they spend their time, how they think, how they make decisions and how they integrate their work and the rest of their lives (see more here.) Richard combines this deep experience and unique insight into the dilemmas of those with leadership responsibilities in nonprofits with a strong reputation as an accomplished consultant, coach and trainer.

Richard designs his assistance to suit the unique needs of each client, after working closely with the nonprofit's leadership to understand exactly what it needs help with and what the underlying issues are. He then applies whatever processes, tools and techniques are most likely to help get the right result and with which the leaders are comfortable.
