Kari's ConfessionsAuthor: Kari Anderson
Serving the nonprofit sector is a privilege. Leading a nonprofit organization is, (in my opinion), one of lifes greatest joys. And one of lifes greatest sources of heartburn. Where else can you both provide a critical service to your community and fill a key need in your market? While, simultaneously, be asked to work miracles on a shoestring budget and perform the roles of CEO and chief bottle washer. Leading a nonprofit is fulfilling, satisfying and more. Its also lonely and isolating. Many leaders come into the role with limited onboarding, marginal orientation, and no manual to refer to as to how to do the work. Youre charged with leading this important organization, and not sure whom you can talk to when you need a an offline ear, or where to turn to ask for help. Join me, Kari Anderson, as I share my take on the nonprofit sector. In my 20 years serving as a nonprofit Executive Director, I saw just about everything, and didnt think I could be surprised. From bad board behavior to fundraising successes, well-meaning donors to entitled staff, no-show volunteers to successful community partnershipsIve got a story to tell! I love our sector the third sector. I want to create a space where you feel welcome. Where you can breathe. A place where you can laugh and see yourself continuing this good work. Consider our time together a recipe comprised of the following ingredients: one part story, one part therapy, one part self-help and one part kick in the pants!
