What really happens when a crisis hits your nonprofit? Spoiler alert: It’s not just about having a binder full of contingency plans.

In this video, I’m diving into what I’ve learned—firsthand and through coaching nonprofit leaders—about leading through the unexpected.

Whether it's a global pandemic, a funding cut, or internal upheaval, how you lead during a crisis sets the tone for your entire organization.

Here’s what I cover:

✔ What actually works when everything feels like it’s on fire

✔ How to keep communication clear, honest, and human

✔ The mindset shifts that helped leaders stay steady under pressure

✔ Real talk on what not to do when stress is high

✔ Best practices you can adopt today—before the next curveball comes your way

No jargon. No buzzwords. Just grounded, tested advice for leaders who want to show up with clarity and courage when it matters most.

Think serving on a nonprofit board is just about showing up to meetings and giving your two cents? Think again.

In this video, I’m tackling some of the most common myths I hear about nonprofit board service—and sharing what it actually takes to be an effective, engaged board member in 2025 and beyond.

Whether you're currently on a board, considering joining one, or leading a nonprofit that's trying to energize its board—this is for you.

I’m breaking down:

✔ Why board service is more than just a résumé booster

✔ The truth about time commitments and responsibilities

✔ What fundraising really means for board members (spoiler: it’s not just asking your friends for money)

✔ How to create a board culture that people actually want to be part of

Board service can be meaningful, rewarding, and fun—but only when the expectations are clear and the myths are cleared out of the way.

After working with hundreds of nonprofit leaders over the years, I’ve seen what works… and what really doesn’t.

This video is a roundup of the hard-won lessons and best practices I’ve gathered from real-world experience in the nonprofit sector—shared with honesty, a little humor, and a whole lot of heart.

Whether you're a seasoned ED, a new board member, or somewhere in between, this is your chance to skip the trial-and-error phase and learn what actually makes the biggest difference in the day-to-day work of leading a nonprofit.

In this video, I’m sharing:

✔ The top leadership habits that make or break teams

✔ What I wish more boards understood from day one

✔ Common traps that burn people out—and how to avoid them

✔ Practical strategies you can apply right now to run smarter, not harder

This isn’t theory. It’s the stuff I talk about in board retreats, strategy sessions, and hallway huddles. If you’re ready to make better decisions, strengthen your leadership, and move your mission forward—this one’s for you.
