Bio
Tracey Specter has spent more than 30 years working in and alongside the nonprofit sector — as a coach, a board member, a board chair, and someone who genuinely believes in the people who choose this work.
She holds a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and is a certified professional life and leadership coach (PCC). Her coaching is grounded in what the science of positive psychology actually shows: that sustainable change comes from building on strengths, cultivating a growth mindset, and learning to lead from a place of confidence rather than fear.
She has chaired three nonprofit boards and served on more than a dozen. She understands the particular pressures of nonprofit leadership not as an outsider observing them, but as someone who has lived them.
