(00:00) Weekend Golf Guys This chapter takes you on a journey through a golf-filled weekend with John Ashton and Jeff Smith. Jeff shares his recent adventures in Arizona, including a stop at the famous corner in Winslow. Meanwhile, I recount an enjoyable day of golf at the prestigious Polo Fields in Louisville with friends and family, where the course's impeccable condition and unique hybrid bluegrass stood out. Despite initial struggles, I embraced a positive mindset and overcame a challenging uphill par-three hole, turning a past nemesis into a conquered course feature. The conversation is lighthearted and full of camaraderie, with reflections on memorable shots and the beauty of the game. (12:25) Mindset of Former Athletes in Golf This chapter explores the unique transition from professional baseball to golf among retired athletes, highlighting the experiences of notable former players like Howard Kendrick, Kyle Lohse, and Mark Mulder. We discuss the surprising challenge many baseball players face when they attempt to teach themselves golf despite having been coached their entire athletic careers. The conversation emphasizes the athletes' independent streak and their reliance on mental strength, honed under the pressures of their previous sport. Through anecdotes, I highlight how these athletes' mental fortitude often translates into their golf game, even if physical skills like short game techniques still need refinement. Additionally, the mindset of performing under pressure is explored, drawing parallels between pitching in a packed stadium and sinking a critical putt. The insights shared offer a glimpse into the mindset of high-level athletes adapting to new sports, showcasing both their physical prowess and psychological resilience. (22:50) Pressure Performance in Short Game This chapter addresses common challenges faced in short game golf, specifically flubbed chip shots near the green. I share a story about a student preparing for a club championship who struggled with touch and feel under pressure. By focusing on hitting the ball harder with higher lofted clubs like sand and lob wedges, and adjusting the ball position forward, we were able to build his confidence. The student found success in competition, achieving six out of six up-and-downs in his first round. We explore techniques to improve chipping under pressure, including using longer swings and engaging the body more to prevent stiffness and tension. These insights offer practical strategies for golfers aiming to enhance their short game performance in competitive settings. (32:48) Improving Short Game Performance This chapter explores the importance of selecting the right club and practicing with purpose to improve your golf game. We share an anecdote about choosing the appropriate wedge for specific shots and how a simple change in club selection can lead to better results on the course. Emphasizing the significance of dedicating time to practice short game skills, we discuss how investing 30 minutes into honing these skills can elevate confidence and expectations, leading to better performance during a round. Drawing parallels to basketball players' pre-game routines, we stress the importance of preparation and realistic expectations in achieving success on the golf course. (36:32) Scoring Well Through Preparation and Contact This chapter explores the parallels between the preparation of professional athletes in other sports and the often overlooked preparation in golf. We highlight how athletes arrive early, practice basic skills, and ensure they're ready to perform at their best, contrasting this with how golfers often rush to the first tee with minimal preparation. We discuss the emotional impact of hitting the ball well in golf, emphasizing the joy of solid contact over precise outcomes. By introducing a strike scale from one to five, we suggest a shift in focus from score alone to the quality of contact, promoting enjoyment and self-assessment. This approach encourages golfers to concentrate on improving their strike and gaining confidence, regardless of the scorecard, thus reshaping how players perceive their performance and overall experience on the course. (42:36) Practice Makes Perfect in Golf This chapter explores the often humorous and sometimes frustrating journey of golfers who may not practice as they should but continue to play the game they love. We reflect on the common tendency to focus on drivers while neglecting wedges and putters, which are crucial for improving performance, given their frequent use on the course. By embracing a playful approach, like scoring on a "suckiness to awesomeness" scale, we aim to bring more fun and enjoyment to the game. I also emphasize the importance of practicing specific skills, such as ups and downs, to truly enhance one's golfing abilities.

I think I am a mission-driven growth catalyst.Transforming the nonprofit sector starts with empowering its leaders. Gratitude Network, under the leadership of Executive Director Lauren Reilly, has revolutionized nonprofit growth by offering leaders of organizations serving children a robust fellowship program. This unique accelerator equips them with tools to scale their impact globally.Gratitude Network's fellowship program combines executive coaching, a mini-MBA curriculum, and a global peer network. As Lauren explained in our interview, "Organizations that go through our program grow 3x on average after working with us. They grow revenue by almost 40% and, one year post-fellowship, serve an additional 2,300 children on average."Lauren's passion for creating systemic change is deeply rooted in her career as an educator. Early on, she recognized the inequities in education systems and sought innovative solutions. “I wanted to show students what it was like to be a CEO,” she recalled, describing her transition into the nonprofit sector. Gratitude Network provided her with the business acumen she needed to scale her ideas. Within five years, her nonprofit grew 26-fold, serving 21,000 children and collaborating with over 100 Fortune 500 companies.Now, at the helm of Gratitude Network, Lauren's vision is to amplify this impact. She aims to sustain and expand the organization's global network, ensuring that fellows continue to benefit from support long after completing the program. “We're fixing a broken nonprofit sector,” she said. “By supporting Gratitude, donors aren't just helping one organization—they're creating a leveraged social venture with outcomes year after year.”Gratitude Network is a beacon for nonprofit leaders striving to accelerate change. With Lauren's leadership, the ripple effect of their work promises to transform communities worldwide, one leader at a time.tl;dr:* Gratitude Network empowers nonprofit leaders with tools like executive coaching and a scale-up curriculum.* Lauren transitioned from education to nonprofits, scaling impactful ideas into sustainable, thriving organizations.* Fellows in the Gratitude Network's program average a 3x growth and serve 2,300 more children annually.* Success at Gratitude stems from system building, postmortems, and clear KPIs to drive measurable impact.* Lauren encourages dedicating 20% of time to strategic thinking to achieve long-term organizational growth.How to Develop Being a Mission-Driven Growth Catalyst As a SuperpowerLauren's superpower lies in being a "mission-driven growth catalyst." This unique ability allows her to inspire and execute change, transforming innovative ideas into scalable, impactful ventures. She empowers changemakers to evolve into effective business leaders while amplifying their impact.Lauren exemplified her superpower while working with Practice, a nonprofit in New York City. Recognizing the potential of using college students to mitigate summer learning loss for 1.1 million children, Lauren built systems and training programs to scale the initiative. Within five years, the organization grew to serve over 50,000 students annually, showcasing her talent for creating processes that drive large-scale change.Tips for Developing This Superpower:* Analyze Success: Regularly reflect on what is working well. Identify the specific steps and actions that led to success and document them.* Create Systems and Processes: Design repeatable systems for achieving desired outcomes. Train team members to implement these processes at scale.* Set and Track KPIs: Develop key performance indicators aligned with organizational goals. Monitor progress monthly and adjust to meet growth targets.* Carve Out Time for Strategy: Dedicate 20 percent of your time to think about long-term growth and innovative ideas rather than just day-to-day execution.* Engage Teams in Postmortems: After every project or milestone, review outcomes—good or bad—to identify lessons and refine processes.By following Lauren's example and advice, you can make "mission-driven growth catalyst" a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Prioritise self care to allow room for emotions to develop.

No one plans to be ungrateful. Being thankful is central to our faith but we can struggle like the wandering Israelites and habitually forget to be thankful. Gratitude is far more than praise and devotion. It is a resource that can make or break our attitudes, our spiritual life, and our Christian communities.

Welcome to another episode of Nonprofit CourageLab! Today, I'm sharing a sneak peek into a recent Pitch-A-thon where we dive into the art of nonprofit pitching – not in a Shark Tank kind of way, but more like engaging in a powerful and meaningful conversation. Together, we'll explore strategies to connect authentically with donors, practice impactful pitches, and avoid common missteps. This episode is perfect if you're looking to make a difference through your ask, not just for your organization but in a way that resonates deeply with donors. In this episode, we work with Sheena, a nonprofit leader from "To Write Love on Her Arms," as she crafts a personalized pitch. She highlights the importance of youth mental health, shares their impact on high school students across the country, and tailors her message to resonate with the specific values and passions of her donor.Key Takeaways:- Building Relationships, Not Pitches: A pitch should feel like a natural extension of a relationship. We're not here to talk "at" people but to create a back-and-forth that lets the donor feel heard, valued, and understood.- Focus on the Donor, Not Just the Cause: Too often, pitches spotlight only the organization's needs. Remember: the donor is a partner. Tailor your ask to what drives them and make it clear why they're essential to the mission.- Tell Stories, Don't Share Stats: Highlight how your work impacts individuals. Personal stories can be more powerful than numbers alone. For example, share how an 11-year-old struggling with depression found hope and healing through your program.- Practice Makes Perfect (and Shorter!): Awareness of time is key. Practice your pitch, time it, and refine it so it lands clearly within a 2-3 minute window. You'll surprise yourself by how much impact you can make in a short, well-crafted pitch.Do you need to make bolder asks, but you have to figure out what the heck you're going to say? I have a free gift for you. Go to JulieOrdonez. com and get my free donor scripts cheat sheet. You'll get the exact words I've used to raise 50 million from individuals.

Even as we are ambitious in our careers, our studies, and our relationships, often our spiritual life gets the leftovers. Just a slight shift in our priorities can make a world of difference in our spiritual experience.
