Transition consulting for nonprofits, churches, businesses, and leaders

50% OF LEADERSHIP TRANSITIONS FAIL
IN THE FIRST 18 MONTHS

Leadership transitions affect more than just the leaders - they are a disruptive event for the entire organization.

Transitions are stressful and complex, and if not handled well, can threaten the stability of the organization’s mission

Create a Plan to Pass the Leadership Baton

Mission Relay’s experienced leadership coaches work with leaders and organizations to create and execute transition plans.

By taking a systematic approach to each phase of the process, we help organizations greatly increase the odds of a successful transition.

Our Approach

Each phase is carefully orchestrated to engage and support the various stakeholders in a transition.

Rather than just disruptions, these periods can be opportunities to strengthen the leadership team, enhance strategic capabilities, and energize donor commitment.

Testimonials

  • Our organization went through a major transition, merging two boards of directors as one entity. Mark guided us the entire way over the past two years. His knowledge, experience and wisdom was indispensable. We honestly could not have done this without his support.

    Board Member & Professional Economist

  • My husband and I went through a significant transition this past year, stepping away from a senior pastor role of 17 years. While it was remarkably challenging, Mark’s walking alongside me allowed us to walk through the hardest parts feeling ready and equipped to make the transition.

    Christine
    Nonprofit Executive Director

  • I recently stepped into a CEO role of a multinational non profit. My ability to be successful and continue to grow into this role has been significantly supported by Mark’s coaching and experience in the international non-profit role.

Don’t Navigate Your Transition Alone

Even the most well-intentioned leadership transitions can fail if they’re not supported by a plan and accountability system.

Rather than struggling through an unclear and disjointed process, let Mission Relay work with you to develop a roadmap that strengthens your leadership and stewards your organization’s mission into the future.
