Remember Your Impact
Hi everyone,
I hope you are well as we move into the month of June. I know this is a challenging time. Despite the unrest and uncertainty it is important to keep our focus on the value you create. The impact you have on people’s lives and communities. Now is a time to see connection, to look with eyes of compassion, truth and justice, which your organizations do. You show people what matters in communities and help people see they can do something positive. I am so blessed to be a part of a community of leaders who desperately want to make the world a better place. This is life giving.
As you think about summer, remember your value. It is so easy to lose sight of that when we are in the middle of trying times. A few questions you may want to ask include:
What does success look like for those you serve?
Are you measuring the lives you change or just the things you do?
Are you sharing stories of the things you do or the lives you are changing?
Do those who care about your organization have a clear understanding of success for those you serve, and for how you change lives?
You are a beacon of light and hope. Capture your stories, share your light and lead with vision.
I have shared a podcast on the CARES Act this month. My hope is that this may be a resource for raising awareness with your donors and partners of the impact this Act may have on them in a positive way.
Thank you for all you do. Please shine your light and share your stories.
Warmly,
Jamie
