Leadership Counsel

Leaders who are new to their roles – as well as those with significant lengths of tenure – can benefit from perspective from a colleague outside their organization. Whether seeking a sounding board on how best to navigate internal complexities or a thought partner on external engagement strategies, McDermott Philanthropy provides counsel borne of decades of experience.

New academic, administrative, and volunteer leaders may benefit from onboarding to the work of advancement. While domain experts in their given fields, these critical partners may be unfamiliar with how they can most effectively partner with advancement to support near and long-term institutional success. McDermott Philanthropy can provide tailored 1:1 sessions that focus on the foundational elements or facilitate entire retreats, whatever format and content works best for the organization.
