Creating more strategic, financially savvy, and confident nonprofit leaders and organizations.
In my last blog post, I talked about how making decisions from a place of fear is solidly rooting you in the world of scarcity. And that’s the last place you want your nonprofit and your social change work to be. Yet, scarcity is such an omnipresent ethos in the social change sector — from […]
It feels like right now we are surrounded by can’ts. We can’t be near most other humans, we can’t travel as we used to, many can’t find work, we can’t really plan for the future because things seem to change by the minute. The can’ts seem to be everywhere. The sadder part is that in […]
Scarcity thinking is incredibly pervasive in the nonprofit sector. And it makes sense that it would be. Nonprofit leaders have been told for so long that they must scrape by, are not worthy of real investment, and deserve only the leftovers. No wonder the belief that resources are scarce is baked into their DNA. This […]
Let me be honest for a second. As a social change leader you are the victim of so many defeating messages, on likely a daily basis. If you’re like a lot of my clients, you probably don’t even realize how much you’ve internalized these messages. As a society, we say things to nonprofit leaders like: […]
I am in love with a new (for me) TV show. I’m sure you’ve heard of it since I’m late to the game — “Ted Lasso” is about a lovable American leader of a troubled English soccer team. But really the show provides an example of how to go through life as a force of […]
Now that I’m back from my summer sojourn taking my little Airstream camper all around the Western United States, I’m excited to reconvene our Free Training Series. This month’s training is Stop Resisting Money. If you struggle to attract enough, sustainable money to realize your social change goals, then this training is for you. Because […]
A key step in opening your organization to receive all the abundance — of money, people, influence, and power — you need to achieve your mission is fully embracing what is not working. Wait, what?? My guess is that you don’t like something about yourself as a leader and/or your organization. You might be the […]
If you haven’t attended one of the free trainings in the Social Velocity series about moving from scarcity to abundance, you are missing out! I have been blown away by the energy and engagement of the hundreds of people who have already participated in our monthly free training series. I hope you can join me […]
We had a really great training earlier this week, The Roadmap to Abundance. In that training, I announced a unique online course I’m offering that will guide you step-by-step away from the exhausting hampster wheel of never having enough, to the effortless abundance of all of the money, people, power, and influence you need to […]
“I am so stuck!” said a nonprofit leader to me last week. She reached out to me because she’d been at a stagnant level of revenue for years, the board was disengaged, funders had lost interest, and they weren’t achieving their mission. They were STUCK! So here’s what I said to her, and I say […]
I’m so excited to announce a new, free training that will show you your roadmap to attracting all the abundance you need to achieve your social change goals. Are you tired of never having enough money, people, time, influence, and power to achieve your mission? What if, instead of being exhausted, worn out, disillusioned, and […]
We as humans are so good at making things hard, aren’t we? I know I am. Not to brag or anything, but I am incredibly talented at pushing so hard on something that I not only wear myself out, but also make the task so much longer and more difficult. For some reason we often […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time over the past couple of months doing interviews and podcasts related to my book, Reinventing Social Change, and I have so enjoyed the conversations, that I wanted to share some of them with you. I also have several more podcasts and interviews coming up, so I’ll continue to […]
