"Saying No" - Part 2 in a series on Survival Skills for Nonprofit and Foundation CEOs. linkedin.com/pulse/survival… via @LinkedIn

I'm a big believer in short pauses - taking a moment to clear energy and prepare for what's next. For more on how even 30 seconds can make a big difference, check out my new LinkedIn post. The first in a 3-part series on CEO Survival Skills. linkedin.com/pulse/survival…

@amplifiNP Thanks, @amplifiNP. I'm glad to hear it resonated with you!

@AnneWallestad Thanks for sharing your story, that's awesome! Great read 💜💛💜

As a #nonprofitCEO, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a leadership coach, which made me a better and more resilient leader. It's a big part of what led me to become a #coach to #nonprofit and #philanthropic CEOs and EDs myself. linkedin.com/pulse/partner-…

@jacobcharold Congratulations, Jacob!

This data point deserves many caveats, but it's still nice to see -->

Excited for an important @CEPData conversation tomorrow abt philanthropic boards' crucial role in advancing equity. Our prep conversation with CEOs & board leaders from @SeattleFdn & @duPontFund was honest and practical. Get your questions ready. Join us! eventbrite.com/e/herding-lion…

Thanks to @CEPData for re-releasing this blog from January. And thanks to the @BoardSource team, including new president & CEO @monikakv, for its continued leadership to spark and support board-level change.

Congratulations to all of this year's winners! An amazing group of leaders making a difference in the world.

I’m also excited about my own “what’s next,” which will be supporting nonprofit leadership in a much different way – as an executive leadership coach. I’ve always experienced my own leadership as a sort of adventure, and it feels amazing to support other leaders in theirs. 4 of 4

...as they worked to create strong, high-functioning, and purpose-driven boards. I am better for the time I spent in partnership with you all. And I’m deeply appreciative. 3 of 4

Today is my last day as @BoardSource’s CEO. It has been an amazing ride, & I’m enormously proud of who we’ve become as an org. And – even more so – I know greater & better things are ahead under the leadership of @Monikakv & the incredible BoardSource board and staff team. 1 of 4

I'm thrilled to share that @BoardSource has announced that @monikakv will be our next President & CEO. Together with this amazing board and staff team, I know Monika will take BoardSource's work to new heights and I couldn't be happier for us all! bit.ly/3u6aqDc

Huge thanks to @rhymes_for_good for the tribute poem they created in partnership with the @BoardSource team. It was incredible and so kind of you. (p.s. if you don't know @rhymes_for_good, I recommend following for some nonprofit sector wisdom wrapped in mirth)

Thanks to @lisapilar for this beautiful set of reflections on what Purpose-Driven Board Leadership means to her. bit.ly/3MG7hQY

New on the @BoardSource blog: When Sunsetting Your Organization is the Hardest (and Best) Option. Huge thanks to @monishakapila, Kristina Gawrgy, and Angela Romans for sharing the @AchieveMission story. bit.ly/3M9Wmyu

This looks like an incredible opportunity. Spread the word!

Yesterday, the Department of the Interior released part 1 of a report on the history & trauma of Indian Boarding Schools. The NP sector played a role in those schools and needs to be a part of the healing. Read more in this @BoardSource blog from November. bit.ly/3wiePEJ

Really important insights about the "tipping point" for board diversity (and its impact on equity) from @seandtb and our colleagues at @BldingMovement. bit.ly/36YEgkA
