What Comes Before Mission and Vision?

I’ve recently had the good fortune to work on several strategic planning projects, helping clients chart their course for the future.

Surviving an Initial Job Interview

I love conducting job searches. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of coordinating searches for presidents of foundations, nonprofit executive directors, pastors, senior-level staff members, development directors, and more. In any search, there is one objective and that is to be the very best matchmaker for the organization and the candidate.
