“My capacity to grow and have impact didn't have much to do with my technical knowledge. I mean, that was important, but there was plenty of it out there, you know, to be able to access. What really made a difference was my mindset and as the capacity of my mind grew, so did the capacity for me to help an organization grow, for me to have more impact on the community.”In today’s episode, Terri shares her 5 step framework to transform non profit organizations.
