Marc Pitman is a DELIGHT. The CEO of Concord Leadership Group joined us to spill all the tea on what it actually takes to keep a consulting practice alive and thriving for over two decades.Marc took us on his journey from bow-tie-wearing "Fundraising Coach" to running multiple brands under his company umbrella. And yes, we finally got him to admit the truth about "passive income" (spoiler alert: it's completely made up!).If you've ever felt like everyone else has it figured out while you're still flying by the seat of your pants, this episode will make you feel SO MUCH BETTER. Marc's old-school approach to marketing (dude literally picks up the phone and calls people every day) combined with his willingness to evolve makes for a masterclass in consulting longevity.Highlights:The "Jeremy Bearimy" approach to marketing: Marc focuses on activities he can control (like making daily phone calls) and trusts that business will come—but not in the linear, trackable way modern marketing promisesAudience building then and now: From early blogging in 2003 to navigating today's "walled-off" social platforms, Marc shares how he's consistently adapted his approach while maintaining his core focus on serving firstOvercoming the comparison trap: Marc explains how he stops himself from second-guessing content when he sees others covering similar topics, and how finding your unique voice matters more than originalityThe consulting long game: Even with multiple revenue streams (speaking, coaching, books, etc.), Marc shares that the goal isn't to sell the business but to be "used up" when he dies—living up to all the potential entrusted to himResources Mentioned:Fundraising Coach - Marc's blog since 2003Concord Leadership Group - Umbrella company for Marc's brandsThe Nonprofit Academy - Low-cost, CFRE-accredited training programAsk Without Fear - Marc's first book on fundraising"The Surprising Gift of Doubt" - Marc's book on leadershipGallup Strengths Finder - Marc mentioned having "Maximizer" as one of his strengthsQuadrant Three Leadership Coach Certification - Program that Marc and his wife runFind Us Online:  https://www.confessionswithjessandcindy.comConnect with Marc:Website: https://marcpitman.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcapitman/ Connect with Cindy:Cindy Wagman Coaching: cindywagman.comFractional Fundraising Network: fractionalfundraising.co/LinkedIn: ca.linkedin.com/in/cindywagmanConnect with Jess:Out In the Boons: outintheboons.meLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jesscampbelloutntiheboons/

Quotes: “My premise in my working with leaders has proven that sometimes, ‘what am I missing?' isn't the right question; that doubt can push us and can get so big that it pushes us to ask, ‘what if I'm the right person for this role?' ‘What if I'm exactly what the team needs?' ‘What if this organization is exactly the voice the sector needs?'” – Marc Pitman

Read the complete transcription on the Sales Game Changers Podcast website. MARC'S TIP: "Figure out your values. When everything changes and all the strategies go away because of a pandemic or something, knowing what your core values are, those become the compass that you can use to orient yourself. For example, "I don't know what's coming up next, but I know how I want to treat my people, how I want to treat my clients." If you Google values inventory, there's millions of them out there. One's at concordleadershipgroup.com/values. You could just figure out what are your top five, and that will help you make smart decisions quickly."

Most of us believe that leadership is not for everyone. Also, very often, we doubt our ability to lead. My guest today challenges these perceptions about leadership through his most recent book. He demonstrates how to harness this doubt, uncertainty, and insecurity to develop into the extraordinary leader you were born to be. He has decades of experience leading organizations and teams. He is the CEO of Concord Leadership Group. His failures and successes compelled him to study leadership for over three decades, culminating in completing a Master's degree in Organizational Leadership and certification as a Franklin Covey Coach. Marc Pitman, a CEO, author, personal & organization leadership expert, coach certification provider, leadership keynote speaker, joins with today's episode of pursuit of learning to share his million worth wisdom and experience on leadership. Starting the conversation, he highlights the significance of focusing on our strengths rather than on what we lack. Also, he describes how his frustration with people not knowing about executive coaching ended up with his recent book - The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Use Uncertainty to Become the Exceptional Leader You Are Meant to Be. Besides his recent publication, he is also the author of Ask Without Fear!, which you can find in several languages, including Dutch, Polish, Spanish, and Mandarin. Marc assists leaders in leading their teams more effectively and with less stress by combining his ongoing education with his own experience. He is also the executive director of TheNonprofitAcademy.com and a former member of Rogare's Advisory Panel; a prestigious international think tank focused on fundraising. We discuss our own experiences with the evolution of leadership and the various forms of leadership during the chat. Throughout the interview, he brings up various topics from his works. Most importantly, he discusses the issue of using predefined templates in coaching rather than developing individualized ways to solve problems. Apart from that, Marc divides leadership into four quadrants and provides an in-depth explanation of each component in a mind-blowing manner. In the latter part of the conversation, we talk about numerous personal assessments, their validity, and the takeaways. Marc's knowledge and enthusiasm captivate audiences worldwide, both in person and through online presentations. As a result, he has garnered attention from various media outlets, including The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Real Simple, SUCCESS Magazine, NBC, Al Jazeera, and Fox News.Resources:Connect with Marc: ConcordLeadershipGroup.com/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/marcapitman/Instagram: @marcpitmanTwitter: @marcapitmanMentioned in the episode:The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Use Uncertainty to Become the Exceptional Leader You Are Meant to Be: goodreads.com/book/show/56953397-the-surprising-gift-of-doubt?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=Qv57DpA0Cl&rank=1The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America: goodreads.com/book/show/32191706-the-color-of-law?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=J19bcVl6st&rank=1Podcast: By the book: bythebookpod.com/Podcast: From founder to CEO: fromfoundertoceo.com/podcasts/

What a thought! Who you are, right now, with what you know and what you've experienced is enough. You are capable...in fact, you're perfectly capable. But, you might still have doubts—and that's okay. In this episode of the Good to Growth podcast, Katie talks about leadership and doubt with Marc Pitman. Marc is the author of the new book The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Using Understanding to Become the Exceptional Leader You're Meant to Be. This unique read explores how a little self-discovery can help us to become self-assured.

Donors should never dictate the mission, the mission should define the donor that your organization wants.Nonprofits sometimes suffer from a lack of organization and technical systems because founders don't start a nonprofit thinking about accounting, human resource management or marketing - they started it to relieve pain. Systems need to be in place to keep the good happening sustainably. Part of the toxicity in organizations is that we're constantly looking outside of ourselves for the answers. The benchmark is mediocrity - you don't want to be in that place. Make an inventory of all the things that make you different. Don't cast out your doubt, instead, doubt positively. Shift it from wondering why you're not enough to wondering if perhaps you are exactly what your team needs, or that the things that make you different are exactly what your people need. Living your life reacting to every stimuli that presents itself is exhausting. Take time to pause, and let the situation or unease sit for a while. Let ideas bounce inside your head before reacting.  “The gift of doubt is that it can finally push us into looking at other things. Instead of, ‘Why am I messing up so badly?,' or  ‘Why am I lacking?' or ‘Why am I so broken?' — allow your doubt to shift the question to: ‘What if I'm exactly the leader that this organization needs?'”  — Marc Pitman Reach out to Marc Pitman at:Twitter: http://twitter.com/marcapitmanFacebook: http://facebook.com/askwithoutfearWebsite: https://fundraisingcoach.com/RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/extremefundraisingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcapitman/ Be more confident, credible & convincing to your board & supporters without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.Learn to manage your mindset, lead yourself and others more effectively and have the meaningful conversations that drive your most important work. Get your free starter kit today at  www.theinfluentialnonprofit.com

125: The Surprising Gift of Doubt for Nonprofit Leaders (Marc Pitman)SUMMARYAs a nonprofit leader, you constantly face new challenges for which none of your training and previous experience can prepare you. Under such circumstances, it's easy to lose confidence and succumb to those feelings of doubt, and wonder where leadership solutions might come from.  As a long-time leadership coach and fundraiser in the nonprofit sector, Marc Pitman understands these feelings of insecurity, and has written a fascinating book called The Surprising Gift of Doubt, which offers practical advice for any leader to better embrace their innate confidence and abilities.

In this episode, my friend Marc Pitman shares how to use uncertainty to become the leader you want to be. Marc and I met at a Love 146 event years ago. As a reminder, Love 146 is a nonprofit I support that provides care for children who have been trafficked and the sales from my book are going to the cause.   Marc's most recent book The Surprising Gift of Doubt is for the high-performing leader. We discuss if feelings of doubt and insecurity ever go away and how to manage them, the enneagram and how it ties into feelings of doubt in your work, and Marc's emphasis on nonprofits and how they can help you in your leadership development.   The 4 Quadrants of Leadership: Have a lot of confidence to complete a task because they have watched others do it so they copy them -- but their confidence drops when they find that they are not as successful as the person they copied. Feel like they are faking their success and always trying to “fix” a problem although they aren't sure what it is or how to fix it. Learn to grow in their unique identity and do what works best for them so their confidence increases. Help others increase their confidence by “focus leading.”   3 Competencies that Everyone Has: Hardwiring (personality or cognitive) Stories (the way we are programmed) Goal Setting (the way we handle goals)   Resources: Buy the book The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Use Uncertainty to Become the Exceptional Leader You Are Meant to Be Marc's website   Connect with Mike: https://mikekim.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikekimtv/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikekimtv Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mikekimtv/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/mikekimtv YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeKim    *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

Mostly, we think of leadership as epitomizing confidence. We lead, therefore we know.  But beneath that is a deeper truth, an apparent weakness - vulnerability. But vulnerability can be a leader's superpower.  As Concord Leadership Group's founder, Marc Pitman helps leaders lead their teams with greater effectiveness and less stress.   His latest book is The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Use Uncertainty to Become the Exceptional Leader You Are Meant to Be.   He's also the executive director of TheNonprofitAcademy.com and an Advisory Panel member of Rogare, a prestigious international fundraising think tank.  Marc's expertise has caught the attention of media organizations as diverse as The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Al Jazeera, Fox News, SUCCESS magazine, and Real Simple.          In this episode, Marc highlights bringing back the values and humanity into leadership other than just the mechanistic way of leading.    What you will learn from this episode:  Find out about the map to leadership, so you know what stage in the four quadrants of leadership you are and learn to manage yourself and your team so you move forward Learn about actionable tips to help in your personal journey as a leader and as a team as you navigate the world of the unknown Learn to find strength in vulnerability and transparency to make that your point of progression in leadership      "Consider, I'll just say, consider listening to… that doubt, that confusion – ‘internal' we've been told is subjective. It's emotions and that's bad. …   try to think of them as a partner."   - Marc Pitman    Topics Covered:  02:04 - Bringing values and humanity back to business leaders  03:05 - Helping leaders face the challenge of the unknown  05:16 - The map to leadership and the two axis   07:11 - Why feeling doubt is never a moral failing or sign of weakness for leaders  08:20 - How uncertainty and self-doubt help you figure out how you are as an individual and understand others more  10:23 - The two personality assessment tools to help leaders in their goal-setting  12:05 - Looking at the map -- the four quadrants of where you are to help you progress as a leader and as a team  14:23 - Should everybody be open about their doubts and share them widely with people?  16:43 - Permitting yourself to think you're the perfect person in the leadership role    Key Takeaways:  "Some of the best leaders feel like, they must doubt, is a moral failing or a sign of weakness. And it could be that you need professional help, and there's no stigma in that. There are a lot of places to get help. But it could also be that you're really on the verge of greatness." - Marc Pitman  "Knowing that there's a map, figuring out where you are, where's your process on the four quadrants, and then how do you best be in that quadrant? And not try to short circuit your growth." - Marc Pitman  "There's strength in vulnerability and being vulnerable. But I would caution leaders to be vulnerable in safe spaces only.

We tend to think that top leaders and executives do not have any self-doubt. But, doubt is a feeling that all human beings feel at some point. Thus, today's guest in the Expert Insight Interview is Marc Pitman, and he discusses his new book: The Surprising Gift of Doubt.

You’ve heard me say it a million times. Most agency owners are accidental business owners. Whatever your agency’s origin story, most of us can remember the moment when we looked around and realized, “This is so much harder than I thought it would be and if I’m being honest – I am winging this.” In the beginning, we’re nervous about admitting our uncertainty but at some point, most agency owners are hungry to learn and willing to admit don’t always have the answer. But what if embracing the doubts we all have is actually a sign of great leadership? Author and executive coach Marc Pitman has spent several decades building his knowledge base around growing strong leaders. His insights not only help agency and business owners become better leaders themselves, but he also shares ways to grow, build, and nurture future leaders throughout an organization. In this episode of Build a Better Agency, Marc and I explore a variety of topics surrounding leadership and the need to make peace with your doubts. We discuss changes in leadership brought about by the adaptations required to weather the pandemic. We also discuss different kinds of leaders, ways to assess and clarify the kind of leader you are and want to become, and ways to inspire others as they work on their own leadership.

  You’re a high-performing leader. It’s time to shed the doubt. You’ve hit milestone after milestone in your career. You’ve achieved stellar highs. People look to you for direction as a model of success. So where is all this doubt and insecurity about how to lead coming from? And is it even possible to shake these feelings of uncertainty? How can you conquer your imposter syndrome and harness these uncomfortable feelings to develop leadership mastery? Could that inner doubt you’re wrestling with actually be a signal that you are on the verge of greatness? Why is it that so many leaders struggle with doubt? Aren't effective leaders supposed to project confidence? Are leaders born or made? How do our favorite books and movies shed light on our own leadership styles? What role do stories play in all this? How can someone identify the self-sabotaging stories they're telling themselves? What are the four stages of a leader's journey? Listen in to hear the answers to these questions (and more) so you can put doubt behind you and achieve success in front of you. ----more---- About Kyla's Guest:  This Asher Sales Sense Podcast features host Kyla O’Connell with guest Marc Pitman, CEO of the Concord Leadership Group in Greenville, South Carolina, and author of the new book The Surprising Gift of Doubt.

On this week's episode of the Vibrant Leadership Podcast, we're joined by Marc Pitman, Founder and CEO of the Concord Leadership Group. Marc has been leading organizations and teams for decades. Like most of us, he has had failures and successes, and these have caused him to study leadership for over 30 years. “Part of your role as a leader is to not be the expert in the room anymore. It's to allow other experts to show up. It's to ask the right questions. It's to set the right course. And, a lot of that is self-reflection. It's being able to think differently about things,” says Marc.We chat about organization and time management, as well as: The importance of leaders also being followers Finding your unique gifts that make your offerings different Using assessments to identify where you can show more compassion Grounding your own narrative by exploring characters that you admire Keeping your values as your moral compass And more

Sometimes people assume their leaders have all the answers, at least, until they become the leader. Then they realize that there is a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt that can go along with being the person in charge. Marc Pitman puts a unique twist on that doubt that can often plague leaders, business people, and entrepreneurs. He actually believes that we can use the gift of doubt and uncertainty to step into the role of the leader that we are meant to be.    Marc is the author of Ask Without Fear and The Surprising Gift of Doubt. In this conversation, we explore some of the concepts that support Marc's insights behind the gift of doubt. We explore how doubt can be a catalyst that forces us to find and create our own answers. We explore the four quadrants that take us through this process. We also talk about the significance of personality assessments, stories and sources of motivation.   He is an executive coach and speaker, and the founder of The Concord Leadership Group where he has been leading organizations and teams for decades. He's been studying leadership for over 30 years. Marc has a Masters in Organizational Leadership and is certified as a Franklin Covey coach.

[03:04] Doubt can invite you to create your own answers.  [07:31] Doubt means that we're on the edge of greatness. When we start out with the leader's journey, we may fail trying to copy others and eventually discover our own answers.  [10:30] In Marc's book, The Gift of Doubt, he talks about the four quadrants.  [11:47] Quadrant one is the confident external quadrant. This is where you model people who you've seen do what you are trying to do. [12:56] Quadrant two is where you start to experiment. A lot of people get stuck in this quadrant, because they don't want to look for internal answers. [15:25] Many people have the answers they need, they just discredit themselves too easily. [17:42] Quadrant three includes some level of vulnerability when realizing where you must go. This is when you step beyond your doubt. Anchoring in. [23:39] Doubt is more self-referential where uncertainty can be externally focused. Leaders know the non-negotiables. [26:39] Quadrant four is where you take internal and external cues and learn to guide people. You have a view of the whole map, and you're able to navigate to where you want to go. [31:38] The influence of personality assessments depends on where you are in your journey.  [34:38] Know the strengths of your motivation.  [36:41] The stories that you tell yourself and the stories that you feel attracted to can be another angle of motivation for you. [40:20] We learn why writing down our goals, dreams, and desires is a step that we all must take and more in the Rapid Round.    Guest Contact –   The Concord Leadership Group The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Use Uncertainty to Become the Exceptional Leader You Are Meant to Be Marc Pitman LinkedIn Marc Pitman Twitter Marc Pitman Facebook Marc Pitman Instagram   Resources –   The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work Getting Things Done Enneagram DISC The Motivation Code: Discover the Hidden Forces That Drive Your Best Work   Contact Jeffrey – Website Coaching support My book, LINGO: Discover Your Ideal Customer's Secret Language and Make Your Business Irresistible is now available!

Building a successful nonprofit is about relationships. The people we hire on our team, and the volunteers we work with, are not cogs in a wheel. They are human beings who bring their humanity to work: their dreams,  passions, insecurities, fears, and concerns. If we want to build a fundraising engine to sustain our mission, we need to start by building a healthy team, including a healthy us. We need to understand ourselves, and those around us.Because building better relationships with our team has a direct impact on the bottom line. One tool we can use to understand ourselves and our team is the Enneagram — a personality framework that helps us understand how different people cope with the world, and how they manage their own fears.On today's show, Marc Pitman is going to walk us through each of the nine types of theEnneagram. Mark also gets into how understanding the Enneagram can actually help youbecome a stronger, more empathetic leader. And yes, raise more money. Mark is a renowned author, an international leadership and fundraising coach. As founder of the Concord Leadership Group, he just released a book called The Surprising Gift of Doubt - How To Use Uncertainty To Become The Exceptional Leader You're Meant To Be.Today we'll cover:[3:47] - What the Enneagram is and how it is different from other personality assessments[6:40] - Why the Enneagram matters for your organization[10:45] - Enneagram Type 1 - The Reformer[14:15] - Enneagram Type 2 - The Caregiver or The Pleaser[18:00] - Enneagram Type 3 - The Achiever[22:02] - Enneagram Type 4 - The Artist or Individualist[25:56] - Enneagram Type 5 - The investigator[32:51] - Enneagram Type 6 - The Loyalist[38:05] - Enneagram Type 7 - The Enthusiast[46:18] - Enneagram Type 8 - The Challenger[52:02] - Enneagram Type 9 - The Peacemaker[56:20] - Marc's encouragement for nonprofit leaders, fundraisers and marketersMarc would love to connect with you.

What is leadership? Knowing that management is directive and leadership is connective is a great place to start, but social good leaders often struggle with understanding and balancing these two. To explore what leadership really means in a connected organization, Marc Pitman joins host Steve MacLaughlin on the podcast today to talk about the role of the social good CEO or executive director in fundraising, how to connect and balance internal and external leadership, and why continuous improvement is such a powerful way for organizations to focus. Topics Discussed in This Episode: What fundraising leadership is really about Balancing external and internal leadership  Why nonprofits bring in COOs The different perspectives of founders vs leaders who were passed the torch The importance of continuous improvement  The key qualities leaders need to develop to be effective How to help your staff develop The importance of finding support from peers or coaches Resources: Marc Pitman Blackbaud Institute: The Connected Office eBook The Wake Up Call leadership research Marc's framework for growing in confidence as a leader The Executive Coach Project Report by Compass Point Quotes:  “Part of what leaders need to do is cast a vision of something that's greater than… some better world, some better experience for whatever the mission is that they're trying to solve.” “Doing that really well, caring for that cause, doesn't provide the revenue.” “I have a growing appreciation for events – if they're not solely for fundraising.”
