Introducing “Confessions of a Nonprofit Leader”
Nonprofit leadership is rewarding, meaningful, and, let’s be honest, often chaotic. The work behind mission-driven efforts rarely fits into neat success stories. It’s late-night board meetings, budget shortfalls, program pivots, and moments of doubt mixed with breakthrough wins.
That’s why we’re launching a new blog series: Confessions of a Nonprofit Leader, a candid space for honest conversations about what it really takes to lead in the nonprofit world, especially in these uncertain times.
How Facilitated Retreats Strengthen Teams, Spark Strategy, and Build Connection
In today’s fast-paced, constantly shifting landscape, leaders and teams are being asked to do more with less, often while navigating remote work, uncertain funding, and evolving priorities. It’s all too easy to get caught in the daily whirlwind and lose sight of the bigger picture.
That’s where a facilitated retreat can make all the difference.
