    Data-Driven Decision-Making: Using Analytics for Better Planning

    How do you know your programs are actually working? Not "we think they're working," but real evidence. Pat and Will talk through what "data-driven" means for nonprofits without data scientists or big analytics budgets, the five most common data mistakes, and how a homeless services organization discovered a "support cliff" by tracking just three numbers and then made a simple change that increased 12-month retention.

    Small Business Growth Strategies – Balancing Innovation and Stability

    Growth might be the worst thing that could happen to your organization right now. That's not a typo—it's the uncomfortable truth nobody talks about in board meetings.   In this episode, Pat and Will tackle the growth trap that destroys organizations. You'll discover why some of the healthiest organizations have been the exact same size for years, the four wrong reasons people pursue growth (and the three right ones), and how to create margin through ruthless prioritization.

    Theatre & Leadership: Lessons from the Stage

    Before Will moved into consulting, he spent years in professional theatre. And here's what nobody talks about: the skills that make great theatre are the exact skills that make great leadership. We're talking about why leaders who skip rehearsal end up winging it when it matters most. How "yes, and" changes everything when your team hits a crisis. What stage presence actually teaches you about showing up grounded when everyone's looking to you. And why ensemble work—not just teamwork—is what keeps organizations from falling apart under pressure. Plus real stories of when theatrical instincts saved the show.

    Organizational Coaching - Developing High-Performing Teams

    Organizational coaching isn't what most people think it is. It's not executive retreats or motivational speeches. It's the three-minute conversation in the hallway. It's how you respond when someone brings you a problem. It's teaching teams to ask better questions instead of always looking for quick answers. We'll show you what coaching actually means, how it's different from managing and mentoring, and how to start building a coaching culture tomorrow—even with zero budget. This is about shifting from "tell and do" to "ask and grow," one conversation at a time.

    Aligning Mission, Vision, and Strategy for Long-Term Success

    Your mission is your why. Your vision is your where. Your strategy is your how.   But what happens when they're not working together?   In this episode, we're zooming out to look at the bigger picture—how mission, vision, and strategy align (or don't) and what to do when things feel off. We share stories of organizations with beautiful vision statements and powerful missions that somehow weren't talking to each other, plus the simple tools that helped them get back on track.

    Common Pitfalls in Strategic Planning – And How to Avoid Them

    You've built the plan. Now what? In this episode, we're tackling the bumps in the road—the classic mistakes that make you say, "Wait, what happened to our strategy?" From plans created behind closed doors to goals so vague no one knows how to act on them, we're sharing the pitfalls we've seen (and yes, made ourselves) across decades of nonprofit work. You'll hear stories about the executive director who rolled out a solo plan to crickets, the beautiful strategy that lived in a binder no one opened, and the organization stuck in planning mode for over a year. Plus, the fixes that actually work.
