True inclusivity demands more than open doors; it requires the courage to delve into the complexity and intensity that diversity and divergence ignite.
This Thanksgiving, I thank all my teachers. Thank you for being my guiding lights, wise sages, and enthusiastic cheerleaders. Your impact is immeasurable, and your presence in my life is a gift I deeply cherish.
As philanthropic and nonprofit leaders, we are committed to a living our purpose, and driving societal impact. It's time we align our strategies and lofty ambitions with the realities we face. We can shine under the mounting pressures. Remember, diamonds are just specks of carbon that handle stress well.
By regularly assessing collaboration, organizations can pinpoint areas of improvement to support their evolution towards a more aligned, inclusive, innovative, and impactful culture.
After each workshop, intervention, and training I lead, I have participants fill out an evaluation. This is important to me since I work in a myriad of industries, with various sized groups, and with different problems to solve. Evaluating my performance and the impact of my work on my clients is vital. The more feedback I receive on what went well or what could use improvement supports me in enhancing my work with every client interaction. That being said, as I review my latest batch of evaluations and reflect on the many other sources of feedback from previous workshops, I have a clearer understanding of the many ways I can evaluate my impact.
