What if the fastest path to scaling your nonprofit wasn’t doing more — but doing less, with laser focus? In this solo episode, I share a story that’s been sticking with me — one that perfectly illustrates the overlooked power of choosing one goal. I break down how singular focus can turn small wins into major momentum and why scattering your energy across too many priorities might be the very thing slowing your organization down.

Before You Set 2026 Goals, Ask This One Question
As planning season kicks into gear, I’m sharing one powerful question that every nonprofit leader should ask before setting next year’s goals. It’s a short episode, but it goes deep — because how you approach planning is just as important as what ends up in your plan. If you’ve been feeling stuck in survival mode, quietly absorbing the pressure of growth, or running on grit instead of clarity, this episode is for you. I walk through the subtle but critical difference between bracing and leadi...

How To Know When Planning To Pause Is The Right Strategic Move
You raised the money. You hired the team. You hit your goals. So why does it suddenly feel harder than before? In this episode, I talk about the under-discussed but absolutely critical phase of organizational growth: the flat part—that stretch after a big win where things feel slow, messy, or unclear. I explain why this isn’t a setback—it’s a build phase, a time to stabilize, recalibrate, and reinforce your organization so it can actually hold what you’ve achieved. You’ll hear a story from on...

W is for Waiting Too Long: Today's Urgency Started As Yesterday's Unaddressed Problem
If a problem feels urgent today, it started months ago. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Waiting has a cost curve—and the interest compounds. Courage early is cheaper than heroics later. Delay narrows options, burns trust, and raises the final price you’ll pay—in time, money, or morale. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: What’s the one decision you’ll move using 24–7–1? (Define in 24 hours, decide within 7 days, take the first step within 1 day.) Use code STRONG26 to get 26% off during this series. ...

U is for Urgency: Urgency is not the same as Importance
If your most important work keeps getting bumped to “tomorrow,” you’re in an urgency loop. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Urgency is addictive; importance is strategic. Important work only ships by design. Pre-committing time and guardrails beats inbox roulette—every time. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: What 90-minute morning block will you protect daily this week—and what reactivity rules will you set to keep it sacred?

V is for Vision Lock: North Star Sets Direction + Vision Locks It In
If shiny opportunities keep diluting your plan, your vision needs a lock. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Vision isn’t just direction; it’s a boundary. It protects the North Star you set in Episode N. Every “yes” spends from a finite account: focus, energy, trust. Choose on purpose. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: For the next request you receive, which answer do these filters produce? Does it advance our 90-day North Star?Is it truly ours to own?Do we have capacity without stealing from higher-...

Z is for Zone of Genius: It's Leverage Not a Luxury
If most of your week lives in competence—or worse, in weakness—everything slows down. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Your zone of genius isn’t a luxury; it’s leverage. The more time you spend there, the faster the org moves. Outside your genius, you hire reactively and become the blocker. Inside it, you set a pace others can sustain. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: Which three draining tasks will you delegate, redesign, or delete this month—and which energizing block will you protect weekly? Us...

Y is for Year End Planning Starts Now
If you start in November, you’re already late. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: 80% of year-end success is built by October—list health, story assets, pledge calendar, board roles. A calm runway beats a frantic sprint, every time. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: Which week of a 20-day prep sprint will you kick off today? (Week 1: List/Segments; Week 2: Story/Offers; Week 3: Calendar/Cadence; Week 4: Assets/QA) Use code STRONG26 to get 26% off during this series. Want to work together? App...

X is for X-Ray Weak Spots: Stress Reveals Already Existing Cracks
Stress doesn’t create cracks—it reveals them. Your job is to see them before they break. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Simple stress tests can X-ray your org and show the first points of failure now. Early fixes are cheap; late ones are costly—especially in Q4. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: For your next pressure point (appeal launch, gala, audit), answer: Where will it fail first? What single safeguard prevents that? Who owns it, by when? Use code STRONG26 to get 26% off during this series....

T is for True-Cost Budget: Don't Underfund The Real Cost Of Your Impact
If every win creates more strain, you’re likely underfunding infrastructure. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: A budget is a design tool. If you don’t fund the true cost—people, tools, stewardship, reserves—you fund burnout. Under-resourced ops steal focus from programs and make growth feel like a trap. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: For one initiative, what 10–15% infrastructure line will you add—and how will you explain to donors why it protects impact? 📥 Download: True-Cost Checklist + Capacit...

S is for Storytelling: If They Don’t Feel It, They Won't Fund It
If your appeal is accurate but donors don’t move, the story is missing. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Data justifies; story decides. Donors fund a narrative they can step into. A clear arc creates urgency without pressure and aligns board, staff, and funders around the same emotional truth. What’s the 10-line story you’ll tell this year-end (Hook → Stakes → Barrier → Your Choice → Change → 1 person’s journey → Invitation)? 📥 Download: Story Arc Mini-Guide + Fill-In Template 🎯 Want story to translat...

R is for Right Roles, Right Seats: Quiet Chaos = Role Chaos
If great people are still missing deadlines, you might have a seat problem—not a people problem. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Good people can’t fix broken roles. The right person in the wrong seat is still the wrong fit. Misaligned seats create invisible drag—duplicated effort, orphaned tasks, and leaders stepping in “just to keep it moving.” 📥 Download: Org Role Alignment Map 🎯 Ready to redesign seats intentionally?

Q is for Quarterly Cadence: Chaos Thrives Without Rhythm
If every week starts from scratch, you don’t need more hours—you need rhythm. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Cadence beats heroics. A simple beat—plan → execute → review—turns intention into predictable progress. Rhythm reduces decision fatigue and keeps everyone marching toward a small set of quarterly rocks. 📥 Download: Quarterly Planning Template 🎯 Set your own quarterly cadence using the Post It Planning Toolkit; Do the same for your Board with the Year In A Day Board Alignment & Plann...

P is for Priorities: Release Yourself From The Tyranny of the Urgent
If you’re busy all week but nothing meaningful moves, you don’t have a time issue—you have a priority issue. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: A priority is a chosen outcome that makes other work easier or unnecessary. Everything else is either support—or noise. When priorities aren’t explicit, urgency fills the vacuum. Your calendar becomes the boss. 📥 Download: Weekly Panic Filter 🎯 Ready to translate priorities into a quarter plan? The Post It Planning Toolkit gives you cadence and checklists. Use c...

N is for North Star: Your Vision is a Decision Tool
If every decision turns into a debate, you don’t have a people problem—you’re missing a filter. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Clarity doesn’t come from consensus; it comes from design. Your North Star is a decision filter, not a slogan. When outcomes aren’t time-bound and singular, every “good idea” competes equally. That’s how priority whiplash happens—and why progress stalls. 📥 Download: North Quick Draft Guide 🎯 Ready to turn vision into direction? The Reset Your Northstar toolkit helps you inst...

M is for Margin: Without Margin, You're Firefighting, Not Leading
If every day ends at 0%—no time, no energy, no cash—you’re not leading strategically; you’re firefighting. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Margin isn’t a perk. It’s infrastructure. It’s the shock absorber that keeps your mission from cracking under pressure. When leaders run at zero, small bumps become crises. Quality drops, decisions slow, and the work that actually moves the mission gets pushed “to later.” No margin = fragile systems and exhausted people. 📥 Download: Margin Meter Worksheet 🎯 Ready ...

O is for Overfunctioning: Doing Everyone’s Job = Not Doing Yours
If drafts keep boomeranging back to your desk, you’re not delegating—you’re rescuing. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Overfunctioning isn’t leadership; it’s a design pattern that trains the system to rely on you. People can’t own what you keep rewriting. Ownership needs guardrails and a gate—not a takeover. 📥 Download: Role Release Tracker 🎯 Ready to replace rescue with real ownership?

L is for Leadership Headspace: Your mindset is shaping more than you think
Let’s talk about the part of leadership no one sees—but everyone feels: your headspace. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: Your org can’t grow beyond the headspace you lead from. If your leadership is cluttered, reactive, or stuck in survival mode, your organization will be too. And chances are, that mindset didn’t come from nowhere. It came from years of urgency, pressure, and doing everything yourself. But here’s the good news: you can redesign your leadership headspace. 📥 Download: Leadership Energy ...

J is for Jury of One: If your board feels passive… listen to this
If every major decision still runs through you, your board isn’t governing. They’re spectating. 🧭 Today’s belief shift: You’re not getting enough support because your board doesn’t have clear goals to own. What you’re experiencing isn’t a lack of care—it’s a lack of clarity. When your board doesn’t have time-bound, mission-aligned goals, they default to vague support, suggestions, and silence. And you end up doing all the leading, in a vacuum. Today’s leadership prompt is simple: What’s one g...

I is for Infrastructure: You can't scale without systems that support growth
Hiring won’t fix overwhelm if your systems can’t support growth. 🧭 Today’s micro-shift: You don’t necessarily need more people. You could just need stronger systems. Ask yourself: What process do you keep fixing manually? That’s your infrastructure gap. 📥 Download: Org Infrastructure Audit 🎯 Want the full checklist?
