Nonprofit Consultant 2023: Cheers to the journey and the lessons yet to be learned!

What have I learned over the last six years as a nonprofit consultant?

As a nonprofit consultant, I have cultivated a wealth of insights and wisdom over the past six years. Starting in this space by taking a long career as an educational administrator and transforming my knowledge and skills to working with those who serve others has been a great blessing. Whether it's leadership development, coaching, strategic consulting, or empowering organizations to thrive, I have seen firsthand the impact of mindset, attitude, vision, discipline, and strategy on achieving goals.

I am proud of what we have created at Everyone Thrives Consultant Services!

This journey has been a testament to the power of teaching and training, building a community of nonprofit leaders who strive for excellence. From in-person engagements in Central Texas to virtual collaborations throughout the United States, has allowed me to connect to an extensive network of experts and thought leaders.

At the heart of what we do, our core mission lies in assisting others, utilizing our experience and technical skills to guide them toward success.

Our commitment at Everyone Thrives to a mission-friendly approach has shone through as we worked towards improving communities in Central Texas. Praise, thanks, and gratitude have become cornerstones in building meaningful relationships with our rural partners. Our aspirations are rooted in a holistic approach that reflects our dedication to helping others and improving ourselves.

Although my experiences weave a narrative of impact, growth, and the ongoing pursuit of making a difference, I also recognize that I’m only one person and have much more to learn.

How have I seen communities build resilience and care for others after the pandemic?

In the aftermath of the pandemic, you've witnessed communities display remarkable resilience and a deepened commitment to caring for one another. The challenging times brought out the best in people as they united to face adversity. During those days of the lockdown, I worked as the business development director for a local mental health hospital, which grew to work for their parent company for two years.

Mental health hospitals were considered essential, and I was happy to feel needed.

Coming out of the pandemic, being a nonprofit consultant likely gave me a front-row seat to inspiring stories of resilience.

Communities, recognizing the need to support each other, fostered a sense of solidarity. Whether neighbors checking in on one another, local businesses extending a helping hand, or nonprofits stepping up their services, the spirit of collective care became a beacon of hope.

Many of the processes honed during the pandemic allowed organizations to expand their role and improve their services.

Now, we have found it necessary to emphasize leadership’s crucial role in steering communities through uncertainty. Focusing on mindset and attitude has contributed to building leadership capacity even in the face of challenges. New strategies have evolved, and the discipline to adapt has become paramount in building resilience.

Moreover, I believe being intentional with creating a positive culture using the power of gratitude and praise likely played a role in strengthening organizations and their communities.

As communities recover, our experience gives us enduring strength from people coming together, demonstrating that we are stronger when we care for each other.

What would I like to see moving forward?

Moving forward, we are eager to witness continued growth and positive change. Our passion for empowering others and building a better community is a driving force. We are excited about expanding our reach, reaching new heights, and making an even broader impact on nonprofits and communities.

As someone deeply invested in Central Texas, especially the rural communities, seeing those we have mentored excel and flourish brings me immense satisfaction.

Collaborating with mission-friendly partners and further integrating our services to create deeper collaborations are on the horizon. It's the journey of continuous improvement, aligning with our beliefs—mindset, attitude, vision, discipline, and strategy- for our clients and ourselves.

In creating a forward-looking vision, we are exploring greater possibilities of using in-person and virtual engagements to maximize accessibility and effectiveness.

Our vision is still rooted in a community that not only thrives but becomes a dynamic network of support for one another.

Ultimately, your aspirations are likely a harmonious blend of professional success, personal fulfillment, and positive ripple effects on the organizations and individuals you touch. Here's to the exciting chapters yet to unfold!
