What we do

Leyna Bernstein Consulting (LBC) specializes in helping small and medium sized nonprofit organizations recruit, develop and retain strong leaders. We offer highly customized services focused on executive search, board recruitment and development, and leadership coaching.

We work with a small group of clients at any given time, primarily during times of dramatic change, and often help with complex or challenging transitions. We have depth of expertise in founder transitions, and frequently work with organizations making some kind of leap or change in fundraising or programmatic focus. We take a holistic approach to our work, bringing an understanding of the whole organization, its culture and values, to each project. LBC offers our clients depth of expertise in nonprofit governance and management, combined with 25 years of recruiting experience in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors.

Why we do it

Nonprofits can’t afford to spend valuable time and resources on the wrong hire. Skills and experience are not enough when it comes to adding a new leader to your staff. Fit is everything. We use our 25 years of recruiting and management consulting experience to ensure that you find the perfect fit for your nonprofit - for your mission, your culture and values, and your specific challenges.

Why choose us

The hallmarks of our work are a deep commitment to personalized service, the proven ability to match organizational culture and leadership needs, not just skills and experience, and doing what it takes to ensure our clients do not settle for second best.

Our commitment to you

We want every contact with us to result in a useful connection for you. If we aren’t the right fit for your needs, we will gladly help you identify other consultants and resources.
