In a world of constant change—economic shifts, political turbulence, and unexpected crises—how can nonprofit leaders ensure their organizations remain stable and strong? In this episode, I share four key questions every nonprofit leader should ask to assess vulnerabilities, prepare for external challenges, and strengthen their organization from the inside out. By focusing on what truly matters and filtering out the noise, you’ll be better equipped to navigate uncertainty with confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

• The four essential questions to assess your organization’s resilience.
• How to apply these questions across different areas, including funding, legal risks, reputation, and operations.
• Why having proactive discussions with your board and team is crucial for long-term sustainability.

Key Takeaways:

1. Strategic focus is key – Not everything is equally important; prioritize what is strategically necessary.
2. Proactive planning prevents crisis – Identifying risks now helps you navigate future challenges more effectively.
3. Resilience starts internally – Strengthening your organization from within ensures long-term impact.
