I was honored to be on the Wisdom to Lead podcast, discussing leadership and navigating uncertainty with Dr. Keren Tsuk. In this I emphasize the importance of honest communication within teams, resilience during tough times, and staying true to one’s core values amidst challenges. The conversation highlights the dangers of false narratives, the value of transparency in leadership, and the significance of self-sufficiency and purpose-driven goals in achieving long-term success.

"The Key to Attracting Sponsors" was a great topic for the discussion I had with Marcus Leite from WorkerBee.TV. We discussed: ⏩ The importance of non-dues revenue for associations ⏩ The fierce competition that associations face for the attention and dollars of sponsors ⏩ What companies are looking for when they sponsor associations ⏩ The reasons associations should have a sponsorship strategy, not a "dialing for dollars" strategy We talked about all this and more in only 30 minutes. 😀

Vecteris is launching our third book, Commercialize, in the coming weeks! Eisha Tierney Armstrong, Sean Gillispie and I kicked off a couple initiatives this week as we help B2B leaders better position their organizations to monetize, sell, and market their offerings: 1. Roundtable discussions with B2B leaders about commercialization and the key findings from the book. It was awesome! 2. We're launching our Street Team for the book release to help ensure Commercialize reaches all the B2B leaders who could benefit. Services, product, marketing, strategy, and executive leaders are converging with tons of energy to solve this problem and accelerate revenue growth. Let's get it done! 🚀 More to come.

I've witnessed countless orgs smash their #GivingTuesday goals by leveraging this strategy. I remember the first year I ran a #GivingTuesday campaign - it was easy! People were amped to get involved and at the time, my org didn't have a lot of competition for attention. Fast forward a decade, and every organization is vying for donor attention. So, how do you stand out? 𝟭. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 #𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝟮. 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟯. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝟰. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝟱.

💥 Impact. Impact. Impact 💥 Loved my recent conversation with Erin Phillips, Partner at Gonser Gerber where we dive into to power of communicating impact, uniquely, to ALL supporters. "As #NonprofitLeaders, when we do what we tell Donors we are going to do with their funding. And then we do it again. And then again. [ie. Here's the impact you are helping us make]. When we make the next ask or request, we are much more likely to get a positive response because we've built #trust."

There are so many reasons to choose employee ownership, so I love this perspective from Brad Herrmann at Text-Em-All considering the alternatives: "What happens after you get that check?What happens to your employees, your customers, your vendors as that new owner takes over?...our employee ownership trust is more about the future of the company, rather than just the exit...We're protecting jobs, people, values, culture, what people have come to love about this job, we are delivering a consistent promise to our customers that what we're doing isn't going to change." https://lnkd.in/g6qC6M8C
