Mission-Driven Leadership Retreat For Nonprofits
Recharge. Refocus. Rethink.
Nonprofit leadership is deeply rewarding but it rarely gives you enough time to step away from the day-to-day, reconnect with your purpose, and think intentionally about what comes next.
Our two-day Mission-Driven Leadership Retreat is designed to give you that space. Together with fellow nonprofit leaders, you’ll celebrate what you and your organization have accomplished, reflect honestly on the challenges and lessons of the past year, and envision what you want the year ahead to look like.
Through thoughtful conversation, guided reflection, and practical planning, we’ll explore what you need to stop, start, and continue—both as an organization and as a leader. Just as importantly, we’ll make room to think about you: your wellbeing, relationships, growth, and the things that sustain you beyond your work.
You’ll leave refreshed, connected, and inspired with greater clarity about your priorities, renewed energy for your mission, and a vision for making the next 12 months your most meaningful and impactful yet.

Joel has spent his entire career developing strategies that help move organizations forward. When he recognized the strategy wasn’t the major barrier to success but rather a leader’s courage to lead it, Kessel Strategies made its own strategic shift from communication and strategy work to leadership coaching.
Joel brings his unique experiences and lens to each coaching engagement – from the perspective of employee to member of the c-suite, as a board member, a donor and volunteer, and lastly as a communications consultant on the role of strategic messaging. Knowing these audiences firsthand and how the delivery of messages can make or break any strategy is what makes Joel a sought-after coach for any purpose-driven leader or organization.
Today Joel’s strategic insights and empathetic ear are what matter most to the leaders he coaches. They quickly discover the difference between talking about purpose and knowing how to confidently lead with it.
