My niece, a woman in her mid-twenties, is coping with her dying cat. It’s her very first pet and she’s had her for only 3 short years. My niece is an independent woman who does everything herself, I think it was a mantra for her. Her heart is obviously breaking. She has decided to seek support in this process. She has asked me to support her because I’ve gone through this sadly and lovingly many times.

What does this have to do with you? Well, it got me thinking about how we in the nonprofit world ask for help. Do we? And if so what are we asking for? This video presents a twist on the request. It empowers you to ask in an uplifting way.

I look forward to hear what happens when you try it.

I’ve found that most board members join with good intentions and they want to make a difference. And most nonprofits ask those to serve who they believe will make a difference. Yet there’s often a disconnect. So, what makes a good Board?

Planning an event is a lot of work!!! And so much time and effort go into it. In all this effort are you thinking about connecting with the donor?

See how events give you another opportunity to begin and/or continue to deepen the donor relationship.

Have you ever been stuck in your thinking? The same thoughts keep going around and around?
It happens to me, and I’m not always able to step away for an hour and come back to it.
When that happens I usually do this fun and quick break.It always broadens my perspective and refreshes me.

Your organization is a nonprofit, your mission is worthy and is front and center in everything you do, yet there is always the concern for money. Your personal feelings about money inevitably have an effect on the nonprofit.

This video is about realizing your own alignment with money.
