Like Herding Cats I can recall a few times in my nonprofit journey when coordinating a new marketing campaign across departments felt more like herding cats than orchestrating a symphony. Each team was on its own wavelength, doing its own thing, focused on their own mission-driven priorities. This situation created silos and missed deadlines, hindering our progress.

Having emotional vulnerability in the workplace is seen as OK. Raise your hand if you have cried at work. My hand is up.

Both outbursts were confined to me standing alone at the sink in the ladies’ room.

It costs more to acquire a new donor than retain a current one. A lot more.
