This webinar offers a practical, non-promotional look at leadership assessment in the context of nonprofit executive search. David Donnay of SKS Consulting Group will be joined by Libby Doran of Doran Leadership Partners, who has integrated assessment into live engagements, and together they will walk through what a strong assessment partnership actually looks like: how the data is collected, translated into insights, and presented, how it can sharpen a client’s understanding of a candidate’s strengths and risks, and how it supports the consultant’s advisory role rather than competing with it. The conversation will draw on real case examples, including situations where assessment confirmed what the search process already surfaced and situations where it complicated the picture, along with guidance on navigating those harder client conversations.

The webinar closes by looking at what happens after the hire, where assessment data can inform onboarding and early leadership development, and a portion of the hour will be reserved for open discussion with attendees.
