If you’ve ever asked, “What kind of support do I actually need right now?” you’re not alone.

In this episode, I walk through the key differences between coaching, courses, masterminds, and membership sites. You’ll learn how to choose what fits your business stage, learning style, and goals as a nonprofit consultant.

Here’s what to expect:
• When 1:1 coaching, group coaching, or subcontracting makes the most sense
• Why I don’t recommend masterminds for beginners, and when they truly work
• The difference between learning and implementing
• How to think about ROI in three ways: immediate, compounding, and future
• Why sometimes the smartest investment isn’t a program at all

You don’t need more noise. You need support that fits.
