In 2005, I actually had 3 blogs going: a regular blog, a technology blog, and a ministry blog.

Autumn: A Time for Harvest and Reflection
Connection Cafe
SEPTEMBER 10, 2013
I always think of winter as a time to gather data and plan for the year ahead, spring as a time to implement these strategies, summer as a time to allocate for additional resources and continue executing on the plan, and autumn as a time to reap the harvest and reflect on the year, looking towards planning for the winter and upcoming year. There are several other metrics you can look at, but these are just some that might be helpful for your organization to reflect upon this season.

How Your Nonprofit Can Routinize Reflection
Beth Kanter
AUGUST 1, 2017
Reflection is a critical step in assessing individual and team performance at your nonprofit. A reflective process, whether it is a structured process for individuals or groups, can give us insights about what worked and what could be improved. Reflection requires hitting the pause button and asking and answering questions. But how to create a routine around reflection for yourself and at your nonprofit?

I reflected on all this while out walking in the Somerset countryside with my family on Sunday. I wanted to let everyone know that I’m doing my bit this year to raise awareness (and hopefully some money) for men’s health – specifically prostate and testicular cancer. You see on 4th October my Dad heard that he’d been successful in pushing prostate cancer into remission. It was my Mum’s birthday; and my eldest daughter’s, too.

From Risk-taker to Spacemaker: Reflections on Leading Change
Museum 2.0
MARCH 26, 2019
Fifteen years ago, my boss kicked me under the table. I was a small fry at a big museum, volunteering for a project I had no business taking on. My boss and mentor Anna often encouraged me to stretch the limits. She protected and supported me in leading projects far beyond my job description. We had a push-pull relationship; I’d ask for opportunities, she’d say yes but also help me understand how far I could safely go. And when I went too far over the edge, she’d give me a well-placed kick.

Last week, I was in Minneapolis for the American Association of Museums annual meeting. As always, the conference was a party mix of inspiring and dull, familiar and new. It's one of the rare settings in which you can see glimpses of the past and the future all under one roof. Here, in no particular order, are the things that energized me most: "No idea is too ridiculous." Kathleen McLean led a terrific session called "Dangerous Ridiculous" about risk-taking in museums.

Reflections of a Nonprofit Heart
ASU Lodestar Center
SEPTEMBER 20, 2011
posted by. Laura L. Bush, Ph.D. Manager of Curriculum. Design & Innovation, ASU Lodestar Center. In junior high, I once jumped off a table Wonder Woman-style (but without bullet-proof bracelets) to defend another child from being teased. I don’t remember why I was perched on a table in art class, but I do remember the drama of leaping between this bully and his victim. Without hesitating, I knew I had the power to stop the harassment. And I did. At that moment, my nonprofit heart was born.

So, as I made my transition – keep in mind that I am still working a nonprofit, just a c4 instead of a c3 – the moment gave me reason to reflect upon the 10 years of experience I had at the Alliance and with colleagues across the country through the National Council of Nonprofits.
