Most of the time, I’m working with leaders and boards on capital campaigns, major fundraising initiatives, board development, or executive coaching but a few times a year I take on a fellow nonprofit consultant and help them scale or level up their business.

A few years ago, I did that with @lizlange who’s based in Lincoln, Nebraska. She’s whip smart, delivers results, and deeply cares for her clients and community. Plus she’s funny and kind and a good person. 🫶🏻

So when she decided to take herself on a business retreat in Portland to make space to think about what’s next for her business and asked if I’d be a part of it, easiest yes ever ✨

Our time together boiled down to this — which applies to all leaders — once you’ve reached a certain stage in your career, it stops being about more technical knowledge and more about growing yourself.

Leadership is an inside job, and it starts with us leading ourselves. And we are usually our hardest direct report. ✨

This is the sign of a great workshop in my opinion — lots of talking and engagement by the participants, and less talking by the presenter. Learning and change happen not by talking at people, but by getting them talking 🫶🏻

Loved presenting two workshops at the the The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement’s national conference today 🐶😻

Started my week off on Monday in Eugene leading a board retreat for Cornerstone Community Housing and ending in Vancouver leading a retreat for the Police Activities League of SW Washington board.

Board members are some of the biggest unsung heroes in our communities 💙

Be sure to tell a board member how much you appreciate them. ✨
