Katie and Jason Weeks have always enjoyed hosting parties. When they celebrate their children’s birthdays, they look forward to surrounding their kids with friends. They don’t look forward to adding dozens of new toys to their children’s collection. So, from the beginning, the Weeks decided their children’s parties would evolve around opportunities to give back.
If you want to know what your organization's culture is, ask your newest employee, volunteer, or participant. People new to your organization have an easier time identifying what makes your culture unique.
I am definitely a planner. I’m the friend that schedules the get-together, makes the restaurant reservation, figures out where to park, reviews the menu prior, and then looks forward to the outing – and, of course, sends text reminders prior. My family gives me a hard time when I book my flight to visit six months ahead of time. My hometown has a small airport and there are plenty of flights. My brothers say, “Six months? That’s cutting it close. We’ll try and move our schedules around for your visit.”
Do you ever go through a period where you find yourself using the same words or phrases repeatedly? I’m having one of those weeks. The specific word that keeps making its way into my vocabulary is “stakeholder.” In the last few days, I have worked with clients to identify stakeholder groups, designed stakeholder surveys, analyzed stakeholder input, and shared stakeholder feedback.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
