If you’re a nonprofit CEO or Executive Director, you already know there are a million things you can’t control:

The economy.
Funder priorities.
Donor preferences.
That one staff member who thinks “fashionably late” is a cute personality trait.

But there is one thing you can control, and it changes everything else.

Back when I was an Executive Director, I tried to control it all…I even lost sleep over details no one else cared about.

I thought if I worked harder and slept less, I could force everything into place.
Spoiler: it didn’t work.

Instead, I was constantly frustrated—maybe you’ve been there too.

A funder pulls their support. Instant panic.
A volunteer drops the ball. Simmering irritation.
A “remote” staffer caught skiing instead of working...okay, that one’s very Denver.

Today, I’m reminding you of the one thing you can truly control that will help you lead with more ease, acceptance, and peace.

Marcia Beckner helps nonprofit executives lead with confidence and build healthy, thriving work cultures, especially during times of growth and change.

If you’re ready for VIP, step-by-step support, apply for the Culture CARES® Accelerator Program, and Marcia will personally invite you to a call.
