Listen Later

My guest for this episode is Sean Kosofsky, the "Nonprofit Fixer!" Sean is a coach, consultant, trainer, and strategic advisor to nonprofits. For the past 30+ years, he has helped causes, campaigns, and candidates raise millions of dollars and transformed nonprofit organizations and leaders. Sean has served in a wide variety of roles in nonprofits, including policy, communications, development, grassroots organizing, direct service, board leadership, and five stints as an executive director. He has worked on a wide range of issues, including LGBTQ equality, reproductive justice, voting access, bullying prevention, climate change, and more.

Sean has received numerous awards and recognitions from the sector, including the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan. Sean owns Mind the Gap Consulting, which offers coaching and consulting services for executive directors, boards, and fundraisers, as well as a suite of online training courses. I am a proud Detroit native but live with my husband and dog in New York City.

Here's what to expect during the episode:

  • Sean's motivation for exploring the four-day workweek.
  • What are the benefits of a four-day workweek?
  • What impact does a compressed work schedule have on nonprofit organizations?
  • The initial steps involved in implementing a four-day workweek.
