What you THINK will be your most important work moments: 1. Becoming a manager 2. Leading the hiring process for the first hire 3. Giving your first presentation at a board meeting 4. Receiving your first promotion What ends up ACTUALLY being the most important work moments: 🌟 Breaking the cycle of staying in a bad situation by voluntarily exiting 🌟 Closing your first donation from start to finish, no matter the size 🌟 Having the opportunity to mentor someone you believe in 🌟 Building a relationship with a donor and ‘feeling’ their alignment with the mission ➡ The most meaningful moments are never the ones we expect. Agree? What are some of your “actually important” work moments? ____________________ #socialimpact #thirdsector #nonprofit #nonprofitlife

Since the attempt on #DonaldTrump's life on Saturday, I've been asked a few times by for- and non-profit organizations some variation of: "Should we say something?" After all, employees are talking about it. Customers and clients are talking about it. There's an impulse to put an organizational stamp or perspective on big, national issues and this weekend's news certainly fits that mold. In the attached video, I offer my #advice - not for individuals - but for organizations trying to find their way in this big, national moment. #PublicRelations #BrandReputation #Commentary #video #BusinessAdvice #NonprofitTips #NationalNews #PublicDiscourse #expertise

Do you do this full time? The answer is no, however I get this question so often in relation to my work at Spring-UP Global Network Several reasons account for this. This is one of them. In 2019 when we were taking baby steps to take off at Spring-UP Global Network, I was loud and bold about our theory of change. I promoted our vision so loudly and very consistently people began to assume this was my full time job. This April makes it 5 years of building this organization with volunteers and other stakeholders and I can say those loud initial announcements were essential to our growth today. If you are looking at building a #nonprofit from scratch, you can consider this helpful tip.
