Working with nonprofits for over 25 years has made it very clear (to me at least) that the "right brain" is dominant in most nonprofit organizations. Close your eyes and imagine that promised land where you can produce reports by grant or program or by the combined entity as a whole. Bring samples of these reports.

My brain was completely fried and those around me were getting pretty fed up with the fact that I was never present, only connected… online, all the time. It’s 24/7 now and almost every occurrence and occasion can be spinned as real-time reporting for your organization. Breathe, exercise, and treat yourself.

That way, when a coworker sends you an email asking for a report, you get a request for a speaking gig, or a donor calls with a concern, you have ONE place to store your action items so you can prioritize them and get them done on time. Dopamine is a chemical released in the brain when you mark that item off the list, making you happy.

The space was large enough so we could have small group tables, space for food, and space to do full group and small group moving around exercises. These leaders are then given the meeting agenda (game instructions), keep the group on track, and volunteer to report out. I do a lot of small group and share pair exercises.

And in terms of the nonprofit sector, again, there was a report that was issued last year, excuse me, about how the nonprofit sector is being prepared and how sort of the outlook. It’s managing the application and reporting on it. But it is a great planning tool and exercise. So those are just some other considerations.

Though it should have been rush hour, there was no traffic, no helicopters reporting on stalled cars or construction. To me, this isn’t just a mental exercise. Soon, from the vantage point of an overpass, I could see that we were alone on the highways of LA. At least it could be, in the absence of leadership.
