It’s been a tumultuous year so far, especially in the U.S. The midpoint of the year is a good time to see if you’re meeting your fundraising and communications goals. For this post, I’m assuming your fiscal year is the same as the calendar year. If you’re on a different fiscal cycle, you can make the appropriate time adjustments.

But often, the missing ingredient isn’t strategic—it’s emotional. Fundraising success doesn’t begin with systems. It begins with people. And people flourish under emotionally intelligent leadership. If you want to build a team that raises more and burns out less, it’s time to rethink how you lead—and that starts with empathy, self-awareness, and trust.

Top Companion Plants That Repel Aphids Naturally [Video Included] Aphids are among the most common and persistent garden pests. These tiny, sap-sucking insects can stunt plant growth, spread disease, and invite ants into your garden. Fortunately, you don’t need to rely on harsh chemicals to fight back.
