Leadership has been evolving for some time, if #nonprofits want to stay competitive in terms of recruitment and retention of top talent, current leaders will have to audit and address their #leadership style to meet the needs of an ever changing #workforce.

Let’s stop pushing the notion that you have to give so much of yourself to your work until there is nothing left in order to be successful. It’s time to start prioritizing self care and wellness. #Nonprofits #workplace

Having benefited from some amazing mentors and bosses who encouraged me to take on challenging roles for my development to prepare me for #leadership, I’m a huge believer in keeping that legacy going with my own people. #leadershipmindset

Two powerful and inspiring #JaneGoodall quotes.

“Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved."

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."

She was the best of us.

Nonprofit leaders continue to struggle with listening to their staff and teams. Then wonder why people don’t engage or leave after short tenures. Feedback is incredibly important to professional growth and organizational success, don’t shy away from it. #LeadershipDevelopment
