📢SPECIAL GUEST on Friday Convo! (Who is not only the foremost global expert on progressive nonprofit leadership but she also happens to be one of our favorite people - ever. Kishshana Palmer!)

We're concluding our Friday series discussing the next generation of nonprofit leaders, and what skills are needed to lead and thrive in this new pandemic world. This week we're talking about Embracing Self-Reflection. Self-reflection in leadership means carving out time to review yourself as a leader. Are you taking the time to think and review yourself as part of increasing your self-awareness? It's absolutely critical for building culture and an empathy-based leadership style (and brand!).

Meet Katie. As a former nonprofit ED, she's been in the trenches from fundraising to ops to marketing before becoming an industry leader. Today, she leads Do More Good, the parent organization of Nonprofit Hub and Cause Camp which collectively serve more than 50,000 nonprofits throughout North America. We're talking through the trends she's tracking as well as advice she has for nonprofits beyond the New Year. She's dropping some marketing wisdom and shares why you have to stop saying your nonprofit is, "the best kept secret." Tune in to hear why🎧

Meet Kimberly. She's an award-winning professor, executive leader, and social good expert who served as the youngest African-American female city manager in U.S. history [insert standing ovation]. As a proponent of bringing socially good businesses, community and local governments, together she's fighting to increase impact awareness. We're talking through creative ways to bring in revenue via entrepreneurial tools and discussing inclusivity awareness. It's a convo good for the head and heart.

Loving the feedback on our latest Friday series discussing the next generation of nonprofit leaders, and what skills are needed to lead and thrive in this new pandemic world. This week we're talking about Embracing Empathy. Empathetic leaders create a culture where imperfection is something to learn from, not hide. As a leader, admitting when you make a mistake or asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s practicing vulnerability. We're still teasing a special guest appearance for this series later in Dec., so tune in early! 🎧

Meet Rachel. We throw new strategies, innovations and trends your way - and we know how overwhelming it can feel (especially for small teams), so we're bringing in a small shop expert. Rachel's a former fundraiser, ED and founder who's worked in the trenches of underfunded, systemless organizations. She's here to help us walk through some key strategies for the new year and set our organizations up with solid foundations that will lead to greater impact, more dollars raised, and working smarter, not harder.

Meet Sabrina. You asked for a stategic planning conversation, and oh wow, did this incredible expert deliver! She's answering how to keep your strategic plan alive and why we should constantly review, activate and refine it. If you're wondering what to do with your strategic plan now that the world is entirely different, then is your episode. Icing on the cake? We're talking engaging and activating your board + goal setting using your strategic plan as a roadmap too.

We've heard you. You liked our focus on young professionals and kindergarten habits, but it's time for us to dig deeper with nonprofit leaders. And here's the spoiler - everyone can be a leader in their role. You simply need the grit and tools to feel comfortable to rise. We got you! Our new Friday series: Next Gen Nonprofit Leadership launches today as we dive into Embracing Risk. Glad you're here. 🎧
