I See It. I Live It. I Write About It.

What makes leaders tick? What are the challenges of leading? Can you be a great leader but a terrible manager? My curiosity about the untold side of leadership increased so I decided to tackle some of my questions (and yours too) about leadership and talk about a few of the biggest issues we don’t talk enough about in leadership and management today.

Let's Talk

FALL=(Re)FOCUS

The first day of fall means it’s time to (re) focus. Why? In the summertime months, we slow down and enjoy longer days, ocean (or lake) breezes, and long weekends. We eat more ice cream and say yes to that BBQ. Wait! Is that just me?

Something about fall — the leaves, the allergies and the pumpkin spice lattes causes us to think about what’s next. I believe that what you focus on you will get more of so focus on taking a next positive step. I love fall and it’s the right time to pick a book, a podcast, a blog, and even a show to help you zoom in on your goals. Write them down, tell a friend and let’s GO!

If you’re a staff member or board leader of a non-profit organization, let me give you a hug, Friend 😭

Why? Because I know this is not what you expected.

You signed up to create change and make a visible impact on the world. But instead, what have you been met with?

❌ Board members that turn their faces up at fundraising.
❌ Donors who make you jump through hoops.
❌ The struggles of making genuine connections.

You’ve faced challenges that have probably made you question more than just your sanity but whether you made the right choice in being here.

And because I’m not here for you second-guessing your magic, I want to share something I know can help you get the support and clarity you need to overcome these challenges.

➡️ It’s the Nonprofit Leadership Lab powered by my friend Joan Garry. ⬅️

A program designed to help staff members and board leaders of non-profit organizations just like you gain greater skills, connect with other non-profit leaders and learn from world-leading experts.

With access to boot camps and training like my Wellness Trek, the lab is your space, community, and resource to learn how to support yourself and your team in building a thriving non-profit and creating the impact you set out to make.

Are you ✁ cutting some people out this quarter?

We know the loss of support can leave you feeling a little shaky, but here’s a quick reminder that your dream team is just around the corner.

Every time you let go of someone who is holding you back, you make room to find the team member who will add to your team and help you take your business further.

And if you’re thinking, “yeah, that’s all good and nice, Kishshana, but where she at?!” Then I got 2 things to say to you.

First, don’t catch that tone with me. I know things are rough out here, but I’m here to help. 😂

Second, she’s in front of her computer waiting for your job post to pop up on the Rooted Collaborative job board.

When you post on the RC job board, your listing is placed in front of the best and brightest talent in the social sector.

This means you’re not wasting your time on the entitled Ediths who are only looking to take, take, take from you. You’re put in front of women who are looking to give to you as much as you’re ready to give to them.

In opportunities.
In support.
In innovation.

They’re here to help you make the change you set out to create. If you’re ready to meet them, click the link to start your listing!
