In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. welcomes Mladenka Majerić, CEO of the Yellow Dot Foundation in Croatia and a respected voice in philanthropy across Central and Eastern Europe. Right out of the gate, the duo tackles a deceptively simple but often neglected truth: fundraising doesn't start with an appeal, a gala, or a clever email subject line, it starts with a strategic plan. Or, as this episode gently but firmly argues, with the process of building one. Mladenka makes the case that while organizations can raise money without a strategic plan, doing so is like driving cross-country with passion but no map. Strategic planning aligns mission, vision, goals, and activities, giving teams structure, clarity, and confidence. More than that, she frames it as a leadership and team-building tool. When boards, staff, and leadership are meaningfully involved, through workshops, surveys, and candid conversations, the process becomes a kind of organizational group therapy (the healthy kind). People communicate more honestly, understand their roles better, and walk away owning the plan instead of shelving it to collect dust. The conversation then zeroes in on how strategic plans fuel effective fundraising. A good plan is a living document that feeds directly into operational, communications, and fundraising plans. Mladenka highlights the importance of tools like a theory of change, showing how programs lead to outcomes and real-world impact. That clarity makes it far easier for fundraisers to answer donors' favorite question: “So… how exactly are you changing the world?” Donors, foundations, and funders increasingly expect to see a clear, public-facing strategic plan, and yes, they really do check your website. Finally, the episode lands on inspiration, the secret sauce. Beyond structure and accountability, strategic planning helps organizations articulate why they exist, how they're unique, and what values guide their work. Vision, mission, and values, when expressed in clear, human language, shift mindsets from “we deliver services” to “we create change.” Bill and Mladenka remind listeners that in a world of millions of nonprofits, distinctiveness matters. The idea is already in your head and the passion is already in your heart. The strategic plan simply brings them together, turning clarity into confidence, and confidence into inspiration for donors, staff, boards, and communities alike.

If at first you don't succeed, pivot, and destroy all the existing evidence of your attempt. We landed a tad wide of the Strategic Plan mark but it was a learning experience. We learnt not to set the bar so unrealistically high! Time to get 2026 underway and Restump Podcast the views and news in purple shoes.The Strategic Plan is out and the 2030 Game Plan is in. We've rewired, replumbed, reset and restumped largely with all the same elements in the same positions. Is that a lack of accountability or an admission the bar was just mistakenly and unnecessarily set too high? Either way you don't disrupt positive trajectory.There has been plenty of talk about Mason Cox since his arrival. He is a handy addition but do we really believe he will be in the regular fully fit starting line up? Do we really expect anything beyond the insurance policy from the near on 35-year-old? Did we miss an opportunity to hand the captaincy baton over to Andy Brayshaw or Caleb Serong? Alex Pearce will do the job but with the end of the ‘strategic plan' era and moving into this ‘2030 Game Plan' period, maybe a fresh captaincy start might have been in order? Again, though is it a case of not disrupting positive trajectory?We'll take a look at the recruits and reluctantly touch on the Lachie Neale saga in relation to Freo. Are we revved up for state of origin or are we just praying for our players to get through unscathed? First pod of the year and unfortunately the Chief is already indulging in hysterical outrage, ranting about some inconsequential nonsense. And with his new thirst-quenching establishment now up and running, we'll get the update from Barman Jojo about what's doing there. It's been a while between our purple passionfruit podcast drinks but the pre-season is just starting to gather some pace. So, why not go over the off-season developments, look at the foreseeable freo forecast and add some unnecessary purple noise pollution to the mix. We've given everyone's ears a well-earned and extended rest to recover, but sadly all good things come to an end. We apologise for the subsiding of the serenity of silence, but we're resurrecting the ridiculous rigmarole. For those whose listening standards are lower than our premiership count, by all means, join us for another year, starting now.Send us a textSupport the show

It's a new year and the Advocacy team is ready to go! In this episode, Shannon and Patrick outline the advocacy portion of NAR's new Strategic Plan and discuss our policy goals for 2026, which include unleashing housing inventory, confronting NIMBYism and the growing equity gap, and protecting access to homeownership and REALTOR (R) representation.

A key component of our 2023-2027 Strategic Plan is the incorporation of constituent voice. We have worked hard to ensure opportunities to share thoughts and feedback are varied, meaningful, and involve intentional outreach to identified focal groups and historically underserved populations. This includes our annual student survey in the spring, meetings with parent advisory committees, one-on-one or small group conversations with families and/or students, superintendent focus group chats with high school students, and more. We also offer a survey to all families, community members, and staff that is just 7 questions long. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and provide your honest feedback by Friday, February 6. Themes and common questions/concerns will be pulled from the responses and used to help shape our Year 4 Strategic Plan improvement actions. Our featured event is the Glencoe High School Band's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity over winter break to perform in London's New Year's Day Parade! This is the first time in the parade's 40-year history they have had a band from Oregon perform.

Nick kicks off the new year by focusing on the importance of strategic planning for business growth, examining the common pitfalls of overly complex strategies that hinder execution and introduces a practical one-page strategic plan framework used in private equity.  Nick outlines the six key components of this framework, including the exit vision, value creation thesis, strategic priorities, key metrics, critical constraints, and quarterly rocks KEY TAKEAWAYS A strategic plan should be concise and fit on a single page. Overly complex strategies can hinder execution and lead to confusion among team members. The key to successful strategy is not just in planning but in execution. Clear ownership of tasks and regular reviews are essential to ensure that the plan is actively followed and adapted as needed. A one-page strategic plan should include six main components: exit vision, value creation thesis, three strategic priorities, key metrics, critical constraints, and quarterly rocks. Each component plays a crucial role in guiding the business towards its goals. The strategic plan should be a living document that is reviewed weekly and updated quarterly. This ensures that the team remains aligned and focused on the most important objectives. BEST MOMENTS "Most business owners start off with overly complex strategies that cause them to fail when it comes to execution."  "If your strategy doesn't fit on one page, you don't have a strategy, you have a wish-list."  "The planning process itself becomes the goal, not the outcome. And that is a huge, huge mistake."  "If you can't fit your strategy on one page, you don't have strategic clarity yet." VALUABLE RESOURCES Get the 1-Page Strategic Plan today.

What would change in your business if every growth decision you made was guided by a clear, intentional strategy instead of reacting to whatever showed up that week? In this episode, I walk you through how I help advisors build a revenue-focused strategic plan for 2026 that actually drives momentum. Drawing on 30 years of coaching experience, I explain why chasing net new clients is a distraction, how to think differently about revenue targets, and why the next few years represent a massive opportunity as Boomers retire and the industry transitions.

As we close out the year, many female entrepreneurs are still moving at full speed, managing clients, solving daily problems, and keeping the business running. The day to day often takes over, and long term planning becomes something we tell ourselves we will get to later. In the latest DO IT MY WAY podcast episode, I talk about why stepping away to create a strategic plan is one of the most important things you can do for your business. A clear plan gives you direction, confidence, and focus. It helps you identify what worked well in 2025 and what needs improvement for 2026. It also allows you to set realistic goals and build a roadmap that will guide your decisions throughout the year. This episode walks through how to review your past year honestly, where to look for blind spots, and how to turn your goals into actionable steps. It is designed to help you grow your business with intention rather than react to whatever comes your way. If you want to enter 2026 with clarity and momentum, this is the episode you will not want to miss. Here's to the BEST YEAR YET!

Fruit baskets don't cure burnout. Neither do yoga apps. Dr. Richard Safeer explains why most wellness programs flop, and how leaders can build cultures of health that actually stick. He shares why well-being belongs in the strategic plan, not the suggestion box, and how six building blocks – peer support, leadership engagement, connection points, norms, values, and social climate – turn good intentions into everyday behaviors. You'll hear stories from Johns Hopkins where small shifts (blood pressure wins, manager training, even better cafeteria choices) stacked up to big cultural change. This isn't about adding another program. It's about making well-being who you are as a company, not what you do once a year.

Ever think about how far your business could go if you had a clear plan instead of just hoping things work out? In this episode, I share the process I use with advisors to create a clear and measurable plan for 2026, one that not only defines your targets but helps you grow into the person capable of achieving them. I break down the mindset, environment, and planning windows that make a real strategy work, and why keeping your goals focused is essential.

Strategic plans used to be something boards revisited every three to five years. But today, the pace of change—and the unexpected shocks we've all lived through—are forcing boards to ask new questions: How do we stay involved over time? And how will we know when it's time to shift?In this episode, I share three practical strategies that can give boards a clearer line of sight into progress, keep goals measurable, and build in a refresh point that ensures plans stay relevant. If you're leading in health care or the nonprofit sector, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

On Thursday, November 20, the Oregon Department of Education released At-A-Glance School and District Profiles for the 2024-25 school year. The Profiles are designed to provide a consistent set of school and district level information to local communities. They contain previously released assessment data for last school year, previously released graduation data for the class of 2024, and some new data for the 2024-25 school year. Because the state uses consistent sources of data and calculation methods for all schools and districts, its reports are useful for comparison purposes - both between schools and districts and within individual entities on a year-over-year basis. However, data on statewide standardized assessment results in English Language Arts and Mathematics tell a bit of a misleading story of our students' knowledge and skills. A number of students opt out of these tests, and because they are not used for placement, grade promotion, or for any other success measure in school, we have seen students and families place far less importance on them in recent years. For this reason, we have identified other measures for determining students' growth and learning on a rolling basis and are using that data to track progress toward our Strategic Plan goals. For example, we are using HSD-administered assessments called Running Records to measure proficiency in English and/or Spanish reading. You can find the District's and each school's At-A-Glance Profile in the Accountability section of our website. Additional information can be found in ODE's press release and on their At-A-Glance Profiles and Accountability Details webpage. Our featured event is the fall Career and College Pathways Steering Committee meeting that was held on Thursday, November 20, at Hilhi. This amazing group of industry partners, educators, and community leaders plays a key role in helping us create clear and exciting pathway opportunities for every HSD student. Superintendent Travis Reiman kicked off the morning by sharing the latest district data and indicators tied to student success and postsecondary readiness. Melissa Pendergrass, Coordinator of Career and College Pathways, framed the day by emphasizing the value of authentic partnerships and high-quality work-based learning. She spoke about how real world experiences not only benefit students but also create a powerful return on investment for local employers who are building their future workforce. Participants then jumped into a lineup of interactive workshops that explored everything from supervising youth at worksites to designing meaningful hands-on experiences, understanding the long term benefits of investing in youth career development, and more. Conversations were lively, solutions oriented, and full of ideas that will directly support students. HSD extends a huge thank you to everyone who joined us. Your partnership helps ensure that students discover their interests, build real skills, and feel excited about their futures. We look forward to continuing this work together throughout the year.Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session.

Like backward design, we can start with Isaiah's vision of peace and work backwards to today, asking what steps we might take this week, even today, to move toward that dream. Though the vision seems idealistic or even inconceivable, these Advent days remind us that seemingly impossible things become possible with God. When we imagine it, we can begin to live it.  Preaching text: Isaiah 2:1-5

PREVIEW — Judy Dempsey — Ireland's Undefended Western Approaches and the Russian Threat. Ireland, a neutral EU member, remains militarily undefended with only four warships and lacks a strategic plan to protect the western approaches where vital undersea financial cables are located. Russia is reportedly aware of this critical vulnerability. While Ireland compensates by paying the Royal Air Force (RAF) to guard the Irish Sea, the Atlantic flank demands robust defense against the recognized Russian threat, necessitating a fundamental shift in Ireland's strategic mindset.

This week on Adapting, David sits down with Rabbi Mark Wildes, the founder of Manhattan Jewish Experience. Together, the pair explore what it really means to inspire Jewish connection in young adults today.  Drawing on insights and Torah from his new book, The Jewish Experience: Discovering the Soul of Jewish Thought and Practice, Rabbi Wildes shares that Jewish education isn't about molding students into something completely new. Rather, it's about how educators can spark the innate pilot light of Judaism, the pintele Yid, that we have inside us. Discover how nurturing that inner spark can transform not only the Jewish learner, but the future of Jewish life itself. Explore how The Jewish Education Project is reimagining Jewish education in our Strategic Plan. Register for Jewish Futures 2025.Learn more about The Jewish Education Project here.This episode was produced by Miranda Lapides and Rina Cohen Schwarz.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. When you had to explain what you wanted to another person, what you don't want or what you want. But what we want to do going forward is we want to do both. So I would like when we start our meeting today for everyone to have lunch before we get going. But what I don't want is I don't want lunch to go past 1 o'clock. Now you at least have guardrails, you have some measure of expectation. So think of a time when you have to explain something to somebody else,something you want, you know, whether it's on your team or if you can't think of anything, even personally, write down what you want and what you don't want from that situation. Write down what you want and write down what you don't want from the situation. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

From High Directive to High Supportive  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  Now we get started, right?  We go up to where it says coaching.  We're still high directed, but now we're high supported as well. So they get started, you're still directing their activities, but just capture this in the top right hand corner, you're looking to catch them doing things right. You're looking to catch them doing things right. That's opposite. What's that?  That's opposite. Yeah, yeah, you're not looking for the wrong yet, you're looking for the right.Because your team will perform on what they've gotten right, not what they're continuously getting wrong. Remember, everybody knows when they got something wrong. Right?  You know, you screw something up, we all know, like, oh man, that didn't go over very well. But we don't always know when we're getting it right. Like, is that what you were expecting, right? So you gotta catch them doing things right.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.

Low Supportive Behavior Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  In the beginning, they're gonna say,  all right, I'm in, I get it, just like today's meeting. All right, I get the idea, we wanna be a team, but we've never been a team like this before, so tell us what being a good team looks like. So we're gonna be very high directive in the beginning, and we're gonna have low supportive behavior. It doesn't mean we're not gonna be supportive,  it just means we're being directive first. It's kind of, you know, I've made the decision, here's how we're going, right? Like the agenda, I'm being directive about the agenda. If it's anything against you guys, but you hired me to put together an agenda, I did it, right? Took in the input from Rob and Rich,  what do we want this meeting to be all about? And then I decided what we're working on, right? Okay, good.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

 Why Leaders Must Make the Call  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO.

If there's a project you're about to do with your team, you may say, here's the project, here's the scope of work, here are some of the things, the challenges we're looking at. Anybody have any ideas or you wanna share any thoughts? You gather those thoughts, but the leader decides. Thank you everybody, here's what we're doing.
