Welcome to Possibility Project! We are a growing community of disruptive changemakers reclaiming our power through meaningful sparks connections and actions. I co-created Possibility Project in March of 2020 when COVID hit the U.S. with the dream of making this moment matter and wanted to have the conversations we were having in dark corners about dysfunction in the social sector at scale.
My name is Heather Hiscox. I am the CEO and founder of Pause for Change and I work with nonprofits, local governments, and philanthropic foundations to help them address challenges and pursue opportunities in less time, using fewer resources while achieving greater impact.
I am also the author of the book, No More Status Q: A Proven Framework to Change the Way We Change the World, which is a step-by-step guide for frustrated changemakers, full of stories of inspiration and simple steps to co-design more impactful solutions. You can get your copy anywhere you buy books online.
You can learn more about the good trouble I'm causing at www.pauseforchange.com or connect with me on LinkedIn.

The “O” word: Why isn’t talking about Operations Sexy?
Isn't it strange how we overlook and avoid conversations about operations and how everything actually gets done inside our organizations? We often don't want to discuss how we do the work, and instead pour ourselves into the why, and focus on providing support and resources.
In this urgency to serve, we often overlook the essential nature of our workflows, and what happens if they are broken, disrupted, or neglected. Philanthropy and donors don't want to talk about these "boring bits", and often don't want to fund overhead, but we all know that the people, processes, and workflows, are actually, how impact is created.
How do we address this gap in understanding and focus and what are the reasons behind this lack of attention? I was joined by two wonderful fantastic speakers to dive into these topics.
