Team Up

The 2019 soccer season is in the books! It was a rough season for our household. Luckily, we ended on a high note with our first win in the last game of play of the tournament weekend. Yep, it was a long season of practices, rainouts, near wins, total defeats, and bruised egos. But that last game…oh, it felt good!

What Comes Before Mission and Vision?

I’ve recently had the good fortune to work on several strategic planning projects, helping clients chart their course for the future. These projects begin with an organizational assessment – collecting stakeholder feedback to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats – and culminate in a road map that defines strategic priorities and the tactics, resources, and accountabilities needed to achieve them.

Surviving an Initial Job Interview

I love conducting job searches. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of coordinating searches for presidents of foundations, nonprofit executive directors, pastors, senior-level staff members, development directors, and more. In any search, there is one objective and that is to be the very best matchmaker for the organization and the candidate.
