Entities left fingerprint on humanity. they are those entities participating in changing human life easier. For sure, most of companies except of nonprofit organizations are established to earn revenues from what they offer. Beside earning money, some of them have market positive impact in daily human life that give them additional nontangible values. Will try to highlight on some of them and hope these highlights encourage them to more added values to the humanity.

In the nonprofit sector, we often talk about the value and necessity of involving lived experience perspectives in our work. Yet, when it comes time to walk the walk of that work, we fall short. Next Thursday, I'll have the chance to share space with some fantastic friends and colleagues that work extensively in this arena with me. This is a great chance for funders, service providers, and nonprofit leaders to come and hear how two non-profits have approached this work, and how we've succeeded, the challenges we've faced, and where we can grow. Beyond just hearing from us, you'll also have a chance to engage directly in this issue from your own agency/foundation/organizational perspective, and leave with a clearer idea of how to support community and lived experience engagement in your own work.

Work happens better when we know one another. When we know one another we build trust. And nothing is faster than the speed of trust. I lead a transformative retreat for nonprofits that uses stories to foster connections between colleagues AND with their clients and missions. Fundraisers raise more, leaders focus on leading, siloes are crushed. It is the best three hours you can invest in. I love this work - let me know if you are curious. #tellfromascar #storiesmakechange #teambuilding #retreats

Giving Tuesday is a reminder of how many worthy causes there are. It’s also a demonstration of how competitive the fundraising environment can be. I find nonprofits who have a stated fundraising goal most compelling. There’s behavioral science around the classic thermometer in fundraising. We have a hard-wired tendency called goal proximity that makes task completion enticing.     #ChangeForChangeAgents #behavioralscience #behavioralchange
