    Danger! Vanity Metrics

    Danger! Vanity Metrics

    Have you ever had a moment where someone asks what you're working on and everything in you wants to blurt out something impressive? Especially if you're feeling a little bit insecure? We've been there, and we get it. We're Ted and Lisa Snyder, and between us have been nonprofit volunteers, leaders, staff, board members, and consultants. The metric you want to blurt in that moment (and the underlying need to blurt) is a strong indicator that there's another metric that needs to be examined behind-the-scenes of your organization. But what is that metric? And how can we know if the metrics we are focused on are hurting or helping our organization? We're talking about that in this episode. Got more questions?

    Transparency & the Streisand Effect

    Transparency & the Streisand Effect

    Transparency in organizations has always been important, and in an info-rich world with research able to be done by anyone in the world, it becomes even more so. We've seen over the years how organizations try to minimize issues thinking it'll be what looks best for the organization. However, the principles that guide these decisions were often born in an age prior to the internet being what it is today. So what does that mean for your organization? Let's talk about it! When's the last time you sat in your office and prayed someone would call with the exact skill/donation/time that you needed for a project that's going on? We're Ted and Lisa Snyder, nonprofit consultants who want to see your organization grow. Knowing how to ask people around you for specific help in a way that doesn't deteriorate the relationship you've spent time building

    When Empathy Takes Over and You Help No One

    When Empathy Takes Over and You Help No One

    Empathy is a super important skill when you're a leader, but can easily become a hurdle to leadership when it takes over. Whether it's with your staff or with one of the clients you're trying to help, it's important to recognize when empathy is important and at what point it stops being helpful in your leadership and decision making.

    When to CHANGE Your Vision

    When to CHANGE Your Vision

    Believe it or not, vision statements and organizational visions in general do need to change sometimes. They're one of the first things you have to tell everyone, but it's also one of the most VITAL pieces of your ability to communicate what it is that you're doing. Your ability to communicate that is directly related to the resources you will have. Let's have a discussion about whether or not your vision needs a checkup, or even a change up.

    What the Heck is Cultural Critical Mass?

    What the Heck is Cultural Critical Mass?

    As nonprofit leaders, you know the importance of culture. Chances are, you've also learned the importance of critical mass for successful events, meetings, and turning the direction of an organization (when it's needed). But we're curious... have you heard about (or even considered) "cultural critical mass"? What happens when you want to build a culture, but the changes you're trying to implement aren't strong enough to sway the existing culture of your organization?

    Do You Really Want to Start That?

    Do You Really Want to Start That?

    How often is a nonprofit started that maybe.... shouldn't be started? We don't talk about this often because it's a hard conversation, but it's important when we examine the resources that are being poured into organizations and what the impact long-term will be. If you're considering starting a nonprofit (or know someone who is), this is a conversation of questions and considerations that will help if you're considering getting started or have already started and are looking into possible ways to maximize the impact you're looking to create.

    What Are You REALLY Offering?

    There is often a big difference between what an organization's leader thinks they're offering and what they are *really* offering. Whether this is to those you're working to help or those partnering with you in the process (donors and volunteers), you need clarity in this area to bring the right people around you to accomplish your mission.
