Strengthen your assets

We all need a break every so often. These days, as we manage a combination of smaller and, mostly virtual staff, it may feel impossible to take a break.  I am well aware that all nonprofit organization are doing "more with less" as a result of budget shortfalls and staff cuts. And yet...

Your greatest assets are the staff working for you, and with you. Perhaps now, more than ever, it is important for you and your staff to take some time to refresh perspectives and break out of thought ruts.

The key players who will benefit the most from a guided exploration of new ideas:

• Individual (addressing a specific need such as honing a fundraising skill or working with the Board)

• Leadership group (strategies and tactics for philanthropic engagement) 

• Departmental training and review for your development staff
