This episode is a reintroduction of one of the most important concepts I teach, the Happy Athlete Training Scale. This is the framework for ethical training with a prioritization on your horse's well-being. This training scale is ALWAYS in the back of my mind as I assess my horses and make my day-to-day and moment-to-moment training decisions. It's simply my best, most simple description (so far) for explaining how to make those decisions. About the Host:Karen Rohlf, author and creator of Dressage Naturally, is an internationally recognized clinician who is changing the equestrian educational paradigm. She teaches students of all disciplines and levels from around the world in her clinics and the Dressage Naturally virtual programs. Karen is well known for training horses with a priority on partnership, a student-empowering approach to teaching, and a positive and balanced point of view. She believes in getting to the heart of our mental, emotional, and physical partnership with our horses by bringing together the best of the worlds of dressage and partnership-based training.  Karen's passion for teaching extends beyond horse training. Her For The Love Of The Horse: Transform Your Business program is a result of her commitment to helping heart-centered equine professionals thrive so that horses may have a happier life in this industry.

325: The Strategic Leap: How Nonprofit Leaders Can Scale with Intention (Shilpa Alva)SUMMARYSpecial thanks to Armstrong McGuire for bringing these conversations to life, and for their commitment to strengthening leadership throughout nonprofit organizations. Learn more about how they can help you at ArmstrongMcGuire.com. What does it really take to scale a nonprofit while staying true to your mission and avoiding burnout? In episode 325 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, Shilpa Alva shares how her organization, Surge, achieved 70% growth while remaining community-led, women-centered, and globally impactful. Listeners will learn how to build infrastructure before chasing funding, why modular programming enables nimble scaling, and how multiple advisory boards can fuel strategic expansion without overloading core staff. She also discusses how self-care and reflection are essential, not optional, for sustainable leadership. Whether you're in the early stages of growth or navigating a bold, new strategic plan, you'll gain practical insights on fundraising, board development, and leading with authenticity.ABOUT SHILPA ALVAShilpa's motivation to start Surge began when she was a child visiting family in India. She saw children her age who didn't have the luxury of playing; instead, many were fetching water. Even as a seven-year-old child, she saw the inequity. Children should not have to bear this kind of responsibility for their family's survival. The founding of Surge in 2008 was in response to this essential need, and Shilpa spent increasingly more time in the communities where they work. That is how Surge's community-led, women-centered model came to be. She listened to and learned from the locals and understood that in order to drive sustainable change, it had to be them driving the agenda on their terms and timeline. Today, a global team of talented staff and volunteers run Surge. And together with local community leaders, they are making a transformational difference.EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCES Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola EstésReady for a Mastermind?  Go to PMAnonprofit.com/Mastermind  Have you gotten Patton's book Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership: Seven Keys to Advancing Your Career in the Philanthropic Sector – Now available on AudibleDon't miss our weekly Thursday Leadership Lens for the latest on nonprofit leadership
