Success can be a "Major Award.  F-R-A-G-I-L-E.  Here's the truth.  Whatever I achieve ia gift from God.  Stay humble.

Quick answer.  No!  God tests our faith.  He has the answers to all those issues, big and small.

Matthen 6:25 says not to worry about your life for God will provice for your needs.  If you tend to worry about every little thing, consider having a conversation with God.  He can help.

Think about this, you worry about a situation, your feelings react as it if actually happend.  Get on the right page by starting with a conversation with God.  He can help.

Go ahead, ask yourself.  What is the worst possible thing that could happen?  And, what could you do to cope with those issues.  Worry doesn't solve problems, it compounds them.

Let's connect the dots.  Imagination can play an essential role in constructing negative images of our concerns.  And that snowballs into doubt and depression.  Try this.  Imagine Jesus giving you what you need to face any situation.  

Worry is much bigger than you are.  Taking a moment to talk with God can mean the difference of being stuck, or moving forward.  Let's get you unstuck, today.

Worry can and will dull your faith in God.  You don't have to live there.  You can change that, today.  It's time to move on.

Simply, look to God for insight and wisdom to make things right.  Get unstuck and get on with your life.

Negative thoughts can destroy a person.  One word, adjustment.  Discover how to flow with other peoples patterns of life.  Not always that easy, but much easier when you talk to God about it.

Did you know that self-blame is often followed by blaming others.  This isn't the way God designed us to live.  It's time to face the reality of your situation.  Start with a conversation with God.

What is most important at THIS MOMENT?  Not yesterday, or tomorrow.  This moment is where you start to manage frustration and turn the corner.  Tomorrow becomes a much better day.

High levels of frustration can produce self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.  You need to find the strength to power through.  Trust in God to help you find the way.  

Managing stress isn't easy.  Acknowledging what you feel and think is best managed through confession.  Jesus has everything you need to help that happen.

Failure is very predictable in every human.  We are imperfect.  How we rebound from failure is based on truth and faith in God.  He will cleanse your heart and soul, every time.

Suspicion that is unresolved can damage a relationship in many ways.  Allow God to direct your benavior and help you discover truth.  He is the only one who can do that in your life.

Executive Director Janelle Miller Moravek of Youth and Family Counseling takes us behind the curtain of what it really means to make HR the Executive Director's greatest ally. This isn't just an HR pep talk—it's a dive into how transactional excellence, emotional intelligence, and succession planning can transform your organization's culture, resilience, and impact.Topics:00:00 Introduction and Welcome  01:50 About Youth and Family Counseling  03:29 HR's Role in Organizational Growth  05:31 What Is Transactional Excellence?  07:25 When Staff Leave: Root Causes  08:54 Counseling Work vs Other Sectors  11:08 HR as Organizational Design  13:42 Planning Your Work, Working Your Plan  16:00 Resilience in a Multigenerational Workforce  17:23 Succession Planning Without Panic  20:24 Cross-Training and Shared Leadership  23:09 Mental Health for Mental Health Providers  24:10 HR as Organizational Scaffolding  25:22 Fractional vs Full-Time HR  27:17 Real-Life Lessons from a Fortune 100 CEO  28:29 Closing Thoughts and Key Takeaways  31:15 Final Message: Stay Well to Do Well  Janelle brings real-world insights from her 15-year journey leading a nonprofit mental health organization that grew from a $680,000 budget to $2.8 million and expanded to three locations. What's her secret? A thoughtful, strategic approach to human resources.“We've always had to create an experience for our employees that attracts the talent we need,” she shares. In a sector where nonprofits can't match private sector salaries, Janelle emphasizes designing career ladders and crafting meaningful employee experiences as key levers in recruitment and retention.She also doesn't shy away from accountability: “We need to look back at ourselves. Our staffing changes often come about because of something we've done.” Her refreshing honesty sets the tone for a discussion that's as practical as it is reflective.From the nitty-gritty of job descriptions to navigating a multigenerational workforce and preparing for the “silver tsunami” of retirements, Janelle urges leaders to embrace HR not just as a compliance mechanism, but as strategic scaffolding that supports every function in the organization.The episode explores how nonprofits—especially smaller ones—can structure succession planning without fear, cultivate middle management, and share leadership in ways that increase organizational capacity and decrease burnout.As she puts it, “HR is scaffolding. It's how you manage the work and the people—it can't just be the ED holding it up.”If you're a nonprofit leader navigating hiring woes, team development, or succession worries, watch this for a generous dose of real-world experience mixed with humor, clarity, and heart.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Anger CAN be helpful when it is expressed in the right way.  The right way gives helpful resolutions.  Without out that, your anger is wasted energy that endangers the relationship.

Life comes with surprises.  Remaining self-composed  can be tough.  Look beyond the moment and turn to God for direction.  He always knows the best way.

He previously served as President of Fort Worth HR and was named a Top 40 Under 40 honoree by the Fort Worth Business Press, reflecting his commitment to impactful service and HR excellence.In this episode, Eric and Justin Dorsey discuss:The evolution of HR from a compliance function to a strategic driverWhy execution excellence is foundational to HR credibilityHow fractional HR can support growing businessesThe critical role of company culture in employee retentionAdvice for young HR professionals navigating their careersKey Takeaways:Strategic HR starts with operational excellence. You can't earn a strategic seat at the table without first delivering on the basics—payroll, benefits, compliance, and employee support must run smoothly. That's how credibility is built.Fractional HR is a flexible, cost-effective solution for small to mid-sized businesses. Whether it's interim leadership, project-based work, or an ongoing partnership, a fractional HR model provides expert guidance without the cost of a full-time hire.Culture must be intentional, not assumed. Leaders should be willing to assess and challenge their assumptions about what makes their workplace great. Employee feedback—like Best Place to Work surveys—can expose blind spots and create a path for real improvement.Execution trumps planning without follow-through. Even the best strategy won't matter without proper implementation. Break big initiatives into manageable, sequenced steps and ensure ownership is clear at every level.Build your career through curiosity and relationships. Young HR professionals should stay curious, take calculated risks, invest in their network, and never forget—it's not just about what you know, it's about the people you help and grow with along the way."Don't be afraid to take risks, be contagiously, consistently curious, and then also build your network." - Justin DorseyConnect with Justin Dorsey:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-dorsey-sphr Email: justin@texasHRteam.com Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

Impulsive decisions often result in pain and suffering.  On the other hand, a decisive moment could be a positive experience.  The key:  When it's anchored in prayer and comes with God's blessings.  

Parents sometimes push their children to do so many things, they get frustrated and eventually end up participating.  Maybe you do that.  Let God help direct and guide you through the confusion.  You'll get much better results.

Maybee something simple, like seeking God, is all you need.  We live in a noisy world.  Find the quiet spot near God.  It's right there.

Simply, faith in God is the first step.  He can help you get there and stay there.  Trust in his blessing.

We need to believe in who we are and what we are.  That's self-esteem.  You cannot build on your character until you believe in your worth.  God can help you see the beauty inside, even on the most challenging days.  

We do not live life without facing some, maybe several, epic and challenging moments.  God is right there to experience those moments with you.  God is the foundational bond that helps you see beyond the challenge.

That's a scary question, as marriage is more than hopes and dreams.  Marriage is a huge adjustment in the way you live your life.  Make sure you've got that taken care of, first.

You have an ego.  We all do.  Keeping the ego part under control is called humility.  Not always easy, but always essential.  Let others shine your light for you.

Okay, so this amazing thing happend to me, today.  Did God plan that?  The answer is, yes.  He has a plan for you and he will help you finish it.  

These three letters, PGF, should resonate in your life.  They are, "Put God First".  Remember the one who created you is also the one who will help chart your life story.  Time to PGF, isn't it?

This is called a pivitol moment, when two or more factors come together in a person's life to determine a directional change.  Simply, you have been presented with the chance to make lemonade out of lemons.  Can you do that?

A pivotal moment just might be the day you gave your life to Jesus.  Beyond that beautiful transformation, you were designed to respond to His call.  Congratulations.

Simpley, how we manage the gifts and talents God gives us.  Listen for direction and follow His advice.

We are God's crowning achievement.  Do you believe that?  We are also still a work in progress.  God is in control.

Yes, because of God's mercy.  Life is not only about what we choose, but whom we choose.  It's time to choose the Lord, Jesus Christ.

For a younger person, time moves slowly.  For an older person, time flashes by.  Spend your time on earth loving God, and he will make sure those minutes and hours are spent wisely.

Simply, we are measured by our capacity to love others and serve Him.  Do you have a heart of compassion?
