The Nonprofit Experts *COMING SOON*
“Who knows your organization better than you? You are the nonprofit expert.”
Transcript
Who knows your organization better than you? You are the nonprofit expert. In this podcast, we're going to engage in conversations with leaders across the sector, who are just like you— tackling challenging problems, and finding creative solutions.
Join, me, your host, Mary Gladstone-Highland, as I get to engage in these conversations with leaders and hear about their creative solutions that you can implement in your organization today.

Tell me if you can relate. You are an executive director of a nonprofit organization, you know your programs and services, your donors, what makes your organization, tick, but you're overwhelmed. You're at capacity. There's so much more that you'd like to do within your organization, but your never-ending to-do list is looming over your shoulders.
When you think about bringing in a consultant, the thoughts that cross your mind are what can this person tell me that I don't already know about my organization? Or what can they offer that's really going to help?
I hear this from nonprofit leaders all the time, and I appreciate those concerns.
Anybody who comes into an organization with a one fit one-size-fits-all model and tries to apply it to your unique situation will probably miss the mark. That's why I've learned that conversations and relationships with leaders across the country and within their own organizations are incredibly important to making real change happen.
Whenever I work with leaders, I always want to make sure that I hear from those individuals who are doing the work every day— who see the impacts within their clients, and who know the pinch points. Because they're going to know how to solve the problems.
Sometimes you just need a thought partner.
And so that's what this podcast, is going to be about. It's going to be about hearing from leaders, like you who have come up with creative solutions, and want to share those solutions with other leaders, so that we can support the sector and learn from one another.
I look forward to having those conversations with you along the way.
