Thank you Rivero Gordimer Co for inviting me to serve as the keynote speaker for your 8th Annual #Nonprofit Appreciation Day. The room was filled with 175+ nonprofit #leaders. When we create safe spaces to share our challenges and support one another- that’s when we are at our best.

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
