The landscape of nonprofit #leadership is constantly shifting and developing. Leading #nonprofits today has become increasingly more difficult and demanding work. I was happy to share my journey and experience with the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance. https://t.co/eEf5ReJlfI

🤣😂 can’t stop laughing, had to share! I was upset earlier today for the outage, now I’m just thankful for the break.

Work never gets less busy on its own. It always fills up whatever space we leave open. So why not schedule your time off first. A good work ethic isn’t enough, you need a great rest ethic.

Can one bad boss erase years of hard-earned brilliance? Only if you let them. Someone else’s inability to see your worth doesn’t diminish your ability. Reclaim your confidence, trust your craft and remember that an insecure manager is a reflection of their limits, never yours.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

If we want to build healthier, more resilient organizations, we must be willing to talk about #mentalhealth, prioritize well-being, and create cultures where people feel supported, valued, and safe enough to be human.

I have been working with a lot of leaders, experienced and new, who have no idea how to speak supportively to their teams and staff. Mainly because they’ve never heard supportive statements themselves. Here’s a good graphic I like to share.

[Ian M. Adair @IanMAdair]

Quit looking at others as your competition. Instead look at your own actions and habits. Audit those, makes changes where necessary, and success will come.

Love this! 💯

"The pie is not expanding; it’s just cut in different ways," Elisha Smith Arrillaga of the Center for Effective Philanthropy said.

A new Center for Effective Philanthropy (@cepdata) survey finds that 93% of foundations changed their strategies in response to federal cuts, but only 12% say their response has been effective. Nonprofits are facing more competition for the same dollars.

Being consistent is the difference maker.

It seems too simple to be true, too easy not to do, and yet not being consistent ends up being one of the biggest barriers to success. Read twice for full effect. #LeadershipDevelopment

I remember every single boss who took the time to nurture and help me develop into the leader I am today. I strive to be one remembered by the people I’ve been fortunate enough to lead, develop, and help grow in their careers.

Most of the time we rarely know the whole story. Always leave room for a little grace.
