✨ Happy New Year, Nonprofit Leaders! ✨ “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry In the nonprofit world, things rarely go as planned (you feel me? 🤷🏾♀️). That’s why planning is a game-changer. It keeps you ready, focused, and flexible, no matter what comes your way. 💪🏿 As we step into 2025, let’s move from wishful thinking to intentional action. Start by asking yourself: ✅ What’s your first move? ✅ How will you adjust when things change? ✅ What systems do you have to support your mission? Plan smart. Adapt well. Make it happen. Your mission deserves nothing less! 💥 #NonprofitLeadership #StrategicPlanning #MissionDriven #StartStrong #NonprofitSuccess

Why Saying "No" Can Be a Superpower for Nonprofit Leaders At our firm, we’re privileged to work closely with nonprofit leaders and Boards as they validate, challenge, and refine their strategic direction. It’s a unique vantage point—getting “behind the curtains” to witness the purpose, passion, and resilience that drives these leaders and their organizations to create profound impacts in our communities. But here’s the challenge: that same passion and tenacity—the drive to do more with less—often becomes a double-edged sword. The inability to say "no" can lead to overextension, diluting their focus, and ultimately, limiting their impact. Nicolette Miller our nonprofit lead shares a powerful perspective: during strategic planning, one of the most impactful decisions nonprofit leaders can make is determining what not to do. It’s counterintuitive but critical: by narrowing their focus, these nonprofit organizations can deepen their impact and better serve their purpose. What’s your take? Is “saying no” harder than it sounds?

Teams often focus their strategy discussions on what their organization is going to START doing.  Having hard (and sometimes uncomfortable) conversations about what the organization needs to STOP doing may be even more impactful. Check out our strategy reel in advance of your next team meeting.
