Make Room

If you feel you're always putting out fires or responding to the next crisis, you may be in a patter of reacting. And while there are moments where we have no choice but to react, opportunities open up for our organizations and businesses when we start engaging in more reorientation. Learn more about the difference and how to get started in ten minutes. 

We're now entering a phase where many of you are revisiting the business plans and strategic plans you created before COVID. 

For some, those plans may not longer apply. For others, there may be dramatic shifts.  But all hope isn't lost. 

In this short-ish recording I talk about ways you can use your business plans and strategic plans to help chart a path forward. While embracing all of the uncertainty and staying flexible with the changes.   

I wrote about an experience I had in a museum in Lima, that shook me but changed my view for the better. Many businesses and organizations unintentionally tell stories that put their communities in the worst possible light. But, there may be ways to keep this from happening. Give a quick listen to my thoughts and suggestions on how you can best serve the communities you're talking about and trying to help. 

I had the pleasure of spending a few weeks in Lima and Cusco. While I was there, I got to check out some of the social impact ecosystem and meet with people doing REALLY cool things in their community. In this short episode, I outline some of the things I took away from those meetings that can help with our own impact and business projects. Namely, ways to make sure our projects are relevant, the importance of unsubscribing from certain narratives, and the most important thing we can do for the people we're trying to help.
