3/5/2024
Vibrant Vulnerability: The Changing Nature of Leadership for Nonprofits The role of CEO, whether in healthcare or as leader of a church, is drastically changing to include being the "chief fundraising officer." The choice is not whether one likes the change, but rather whether or not one chooses to embrace the change. Randall Hallett is the CEO and Founder of Hallett Philanthropy, a full-service philanthropy consulting firm. Having spent his entire career in philanthropy, Randall is passionate about helping organizations seek funding to meet their mission. He believes giving is good for one’s emotional and physical well-being. Before founding Hallett Philanthropy, Randall served as President and Principal Consultant for a large consulting firm. He oversaw all client programs on behalf of the 30+ person firm. The final four years of his seven-year tenure were the most profitable for the organization.

Before joining Gobel Consulting, Randall was the Chief Development Officer (CDO) and MedCenter Senior Executive at the Nebraska Medical Center, where he was responsible for all aspects of fundraising, including the introduction of a major gift solicitations program through physician engagement, a concierge program, and a planned giving effort which led to a 600 percent increase during his tenure. Randall and his team supported the $370 million 18-month fundraising effort for the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. Before working with MedCenter, Randall spent 15 years in various fundraising positions, all in the chief development officer role.

Many Christ-following business owners long to be successful and care for their people in ways that honor God. When company and personnel growth creates leadership, management, communication, and performance chaos, you must compromise between building a great business and creating kingdom impact. That’s why we developed LeadFirst, the Kingdom Impact Leadership Platform for CEOs and owners who refuse to compromise on delivering whole-business and whole-person health in a faith-friendly way. When you conquer chaos with LeadFirst, you can build a great business, bring the fullness of life to your employees, and deliver kingdom impact.

The Critical Thing Nobody Ever Told You About Values

2/6/2024
The Critical Thing Nobody Ever Told You About Values People's lack of values clarity is contributing to so many of the problems we are faced with, including the incredible polarity in politics, business and media. Discovering one's highest values can be confusing and complicated and rarely creates implementable and lasting results. We eliminate the complexity and confusion by dividing values into two distinct categories, making it easy for people to discover, remember and live in alignment with what is most important to them. Robert MacPhee is the creator of the “Excellent Decisions” values-based leadership program and the author of "Living a Values Based Life".

Plan for Success: Why Succession Planning is Crucial for Your Organization Today's labor market is unlike anything I have seen in my career. There are fewer applicants for open positions and the needs and wants of employees have changed.

1/2/2024
Learn to love the Donor.... they will love your cause with their wallet Sending love out daily without regard of it coming back will build a fountain of giving that will last beyond your life. Paul Zolman The author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in various circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul Zolman to speak about love? His childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside him, he searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, so he created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped Paul Zolman move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. https://www.roleoflove.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Next Level Nonprofit: How to Build A Dream Team and Increase Lasting Impact

11/14/2023
Next Level Nonprofit: How to Build A Dream Team and Increase Lasting Impact Dr. Chris Lambert is the author of Next Level Nonprofit and Founder/CEO of Life Remodeled. Chris originally pursued a degree in marketing at Indiana University with the hope of attending law school and launching a career as a real estate developer. A spiritual awakening during his junior year led to a passion to follow Jesus, and Chris eventually followed a call to Fuller and Gordon-Conwell seminaries, where he earned his MDiv and doctorate in preaching. Moving to Liberia in 2007, he and his wife helped a village raise the necessary resources for a well, farm animals, and a new school building. Upon returning to the U.S., Chris founded a church called Ekklesia. In 2010 he started Life Remodeled, which repurposes vacant school buildings into one-stop hubs of opportunities and helps create neighborhood revitalization that lasts. Additionally, he and his dream team built and launched the Next Level Nonprofit organizational operating system. From the TEDx stage to lists like Crain’s 40 Under 40, Building Design + Construction 40 Under 40, and SMART BUSINESS Dealmaker of the Year, Chris’ reputation precedes him. But it’s the journey ahead—and the people he’s asked to help lead the way—that excites him most. Nearly every nonprofit organization I know believes the people they serve deserve the highest level of excellence. However, the challenge is they are so focused on serving those outwardly, they don’t spend enough time, talent, and energy on their inward, internal systems that will ensure greater impact and greater reach. As a result, they cannot serve their communities at the level they want to. I lead a Detroit-based nonprofit that revitalizes neighborhoods. Our first four years were pretty messy, but then we hit our stride. Over the next eight years, our organization invested more than $43 million into Detroit neighborhoods, renovated four school buildings, mobilized more than 77,000 volunteers, and beautified over 2,000 city blocks. We’ve been recognized as one of the best-managed nonprofits and Candid and Charity Navigator have awarded us their highest possible ratings. How did we do it? By creating a system we call Next Level Nonprofit, and I’m going to show listeners how to implement this practical and proven organizational operating system so they will soon be able to build the dream team they've been longing for… and increase lasting impact.
