Hey, Nonprofit leaders....
Have you ever sat in a room full of confident leaders and wondered, '"What am I even doing here?” That feeling of not measuring up?

This episode is for you if you’ve ever doubted your leadership abilities.
In this episode, I open up about my own struggles with self-doubt, the moment I realized I wasn’t alone, and how I discovered that leading authentically is far more powerful than trying to fit a mould.

In this episode, Cindy Wagman and I riff about one of our big pet peeves...government funding for nonprofits.

Are you a Nonprofit Leader? You need this mindset to lead effectively!
Leadership in a nonprofit requires you to manage teams, set strategy and raise money. To do that, you need to adopt a growth mindset, an open way of thinking and rewire some of your neuropathways! In this episode, I talk to Cindy Wagman, the President and Founder of The Good Partnership and a Certified Fundraising Executive.
We talk about how reluctant fundraisers can change their thinking to feel more confident and have the courage to connect and establish impactful relationships with funders.
Leaders will learn how their ways of thinking impact how their team fundraises and how mindset impacts all facets of leadership.

How can you become a leader that people trust?
You do that by activating your moral compass.
Your moral compass is your ability to judge what is right and wrong and act then behave accordingly. When you use your moral compass to make decisions, people will find you ethical and trustworthy.

If you want your nonprofit team to thrive, you need to learn and implement the fundamentals of creating a psychologically safe workplace.

- Without trust, relationships falter, teams unravel, and work doesn't get done. On top of that, you cannot support your clients in the way you want to, your contract requires you to, and your clients need you to be there for them!
Trust is foundational for relationships, teams and leadership.
Hence, you should be focusing on it.
But are you?
Most leaders don't consciously consider how they are building trust each day. But what if you did?
In this episode, we will look at 3 reasons why you need to put trust-building on your to-do list!

Your nonprofit team is continually training people.
But if you are like many nonprofit leaders, you're not sure if it's very effective. The truth is, you likely were not taught how to teach.
Most nonprofit leaders are industry experts, i.e. social workers, human services workers, child care workers etc.
Yet, we think we should be able to figure it out. When we do that, sometimes we create less than stellar training experience.
In this session, you'll learn to create effective and engaging learning experiences with Beth Cougler Blom! Beth is a design expert. She knows how to create learning experiences that engage!
Dive in and learn the 3 C's of designing a great learning experience!
ABOUT Beth
Beth has helped clients, large and small, in all sectors design and facilitate great learning experiences, face-to-face and online.
Beth Cougler
Blom began her career as a training coordinator and soon became a trainer and then facilitator herself, both as an employee with other organizations and through her own learning design and facilitation business, which she began in 2011.
Beth has been an instructional designer for the teaching and learning centre at Royal Roads University and in the nonprofit sector. She teaches learning design and facilitation in publicly-accessible courses through her own business and for select post-secondary and community environments as well as for private clients.

LOVE IN YOUR NONPROFIT
Have you lost your passion for your work?
Do you wish you could feel engaged, create an engaged team and enjoy the work you do?

You’ll learn strategies, mindsets and most importantly, you’ll gain the permission to once again feel the love in the workplace!

Many leaders in the nonprofit sector are on the edge of burnout. In part, that is due to the continuous cycle of crisis, drama and fires that leaders must deal with on a day-to-day basis.
To ward off burnout, you need to get ahead of the challenges. That begins with your mindset. Managing what is going on in your mind will help you manage what's going on in your world. But how do you do that?
In this episode, you'll hear from Program Manager Mary Beth Finney. As she's advanced in her nonprofit organization's roles, she's watched her leaders and mentors and learned from them. When you add the on-the-job mentoring to her unique background, you'll understand why she's a bit ahead of the game when a crisis hits.
Tune in to learn strategies to help you be proactive instead of reactive during the ongoing crises that are ever-present in the nonprofit sector.

Self-reflective practice allows you to dump your brain's contents out, so you can sort through it.
This awareness gives the leader an edge!
That's because your inner game, what is going on in our minds and our body, heart and souls, run the outer game; what you say and do and how you act.
The more conscious you are of your inner game, the more intentional you can be with your outer game! That makes you an outstanding leader!
Learn why self-reflective practice is critical for leaders in this episode!

We know that relationships are essential in the work we do as nonprofit leaders. Sometimes we seem to forget that as we become overwhelmed with the magnitude of work we have.
However, when you begin to think of relationships more as an investment than a simple transaction, you can quickly realize how important it is to invest in, develop and create meaningful collaborative relationships.
My guest in this episode, Julia Meadows from Kindful, walks us through many examples of investing in, developing and creating meaning to establish solid collaborative relationships.
In this episode, you will:
- Learn why selling isn't what you may think it is.
- Discover how often you should be selling in your working relationships.
- Ditch the salesperson perspective you might have and embrace selling and communicating to build collaboration!

Confidence is what you believe you can do, not what others think you are capable of. Far too often, it's not others that doubt our abilities. Instead, it's what we tell ourselves, that make us doubt our own abilities. That is where Imposter Syndrome can kick in, and you don't want that!
In this episode, you will learn 4 strategies to help boost your confidence.
Know you can - is all about competent leadership which we learned about in Episode # 7 - Competent Leadership: 2 questions to ask yourself
https://link.chtbl.com/777
Believe you can - is all about managing your mindset to help you remove doubt and replace it with confidence.
Act like you can - is all about taking courageous steps, which we learned about in Episode # 8 - Courageous leadership begins with vulnerability
https://link.chtbl.com/888
Stand like you can - is all about using your body posture to release the chemicals in your body that help you feel confident!

Do you ever feel inept in your leadership role?
For example, are you afraid that you might look stupid or stumble over your words at a meeting?
However:
• Have you ever taken training to speak in public?
• Have you ever had the opportunity to practice speaking in public? Not to actually talk publicly, but practice public speaking with the opportunity to get feedback and grow and develop your skills?
If no, then it's no wonder you feel incompetent at times.
Competent leadership is about:
1. Having skills
2. Having had the opportunity to learn to use those skills.
In the nonprofit world, however, two problems impact your level of competence as a leader.
First, nonprofit leaders often move up the ranks from frontline positions without the accompanying training to go with the advancing role. We move you up from frontline, to the supervisor, to the manager to the coordinator to the director. However, you've never taken the actual training to go with that.
The second problem is when you do get some training you think you have to know immediately and be able to apply it immediately. When you don't, you take that training, and you still are not entirely competent at it, you beat yourself up.
And that's where we feel inept.
That's where imposter syndrome comes in.
That's when we start to doubt ourselves, hold ourselves back, limit ourselves and keep ourselves playing small.
Competence is about learning a skill and then practicing a skill.
Two Questions
In this episode, we will dig deep into the following two questions to help you consider how you can increase your leadership competence.
- Have I taken any training on this subject?
By training, I mean a course someone taught you at work, you know, mentored you, you read a book, you attended a webinar, maybe you watched a YouTube video, or you listen to a podcast, whatever, doesn't matter. But have I taken any amount of training on this subject? - Have I had the opportunity to practice the skill?
The areas of leadership competence we talk about are:
• Organizational development
• How to build a team
• Proposal writing
• Reading financial reports
• Creating team meetings agendas
• Conflict resolution
• How to deal with your emotions at work
• How to give an effective performance review?
• Effective delegation
• How to apply the company mission statement in your day to day work

Successful leaders have high levels of self-confidence.
We've all seen certain leaders walk into the room, and you can tell that they are confident, self-assured, composed and have got it all together.
But they did not walk into their leadership role, feeling that confident.
They did not get into that level of courage by hanging out in their comfort zone.
That leader was first brave.
- They took risks.
- They stepped outside their comfort zone again and again and again and did things that were uncomfortable, awkward, and yes, even scary.
The more times they push themselves outside of their comfort zone, their comfort zones grew.
As they stretched out of their comfort zone, they progressively became more confident, bit by bit by bit.
But that is because they were courageous first.
The challenge is, too many leaders wait to feel confident before they do things.
In this episode, you'll learn why courage first is essential, and some strategies for how to grow your leadership courage muscle!
