Show Notes

One of the myths I'd love to dispel is that nonprofits are not strategic. People think we aren’t forward-thinking or just scrapping for change and trying to get things done. I've had the honor of working with organizations where we really focus on our mission in a nonprofit context in a very strategic way.”
