A couple of years ago, I attended a national conference of government officials focused on advancing racial equity in their communities. The conference began with a number of local government leaders engaging in an informative but rather conventional panel discussion about their local strategies to address racial inequity. The conversation was well on its way to being “just another conference session”– until a Black woman in the audience raised her hand to speak.

Although the road ahead is going to be challenging, we all know that it’s vital that changemakers adopt an abundance mindset if they intend to pursue corporate partnerships. I’ve always thought it very strange that the For-Purpose sector defines itself by what it’s NOT – it’s why I prefer to use terms like ‘For Purpose’ and ‘Changemakers’ because Not For Profit just sounds so, well, demeaning.

The Board has legal obligations to ensure your organisation is fulfilling its purpose, remains solvent, meets obligations and will ultimately be responsible for dealing with any ramifications from a corporate partnership. Therefore, it’s imperative that you have Board sign off prior to ‘going to market’ In my experience many Board members, even those that have previously worked in the corporate sector, are not specialists in corporate partnerships and may not realise the comple

Last week I started to re-read “ The 4-hour work week ” * by Tim Ferris. I have been wanting to re-read this book for reflection for a while now. I was especially curious to re-read the techniques Tim describes in his book. Techniques he used in his journey in going from a 60+ hour work week to one of considerably fewer hours. Techniques I can probably use to help me be more effective and efficient while sticking to my 4-day work week.

My Auntie was a medium (tv fame no less) and every weekend as my dad drooled over the Page 3 girl in the Daily Mirror, my mum and I would salivate over the horoscope predictions.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact jobs and economies around the world, but what might be understated is the toll it has taken on the physical and mental wellbeing of people. Gyms and fitness centers are closed. Bars and restaurants are closed. Social gathers are limited to small numbers or immediate family only. So, that begs the question: how do we keep physically and mentally well during this time?

People ask you where that is or why are we doing that or what we gain by changing the way we do work? “Just start sprinting…” you reply. You've heard the old definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Agile approaches mean doing work differently. There also is no such thing as the Agile Methodology. When people use the word “Agile” in reference to doing work differently, it generally refers to the 2001 Agile Manifesto.
