Many of my nonprofit friends are under serious stress as they have to bring in a critical portion of their budgets in these next few weeks. In many cases, there is a real [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Be warned, this may be more of a rant than a well balanced post. I&#8217;m frustrated by the number of leaders who are ending their marriages or in marriages that are deeply struggling. I&#8217;m not a sociologist or registered counsellor and I haven&#8217;t done a statistical analysis to determine if there&#8217;s really a trend to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend and colleague Mark Petersen posted some of his thoughts on partnership based largely on what he&#8217;s noticed while working on our shared Stronger Together 2011 project. Earlier this year we hosted a small conference for charities we work with called Gather. (Some of my thoughts on the event can be found here). The [...]]]></description>

The Three Hats of a Board Member Bob Andringa (http://www.theandringagroup.com/pages/bob_andringa) is the source of this helpful concept for how board members can better understand the various ways [...]]]></description>

One of the most engaged discussions I observed at our Gather conference last month was the one about this topic.

		<description><![CDATA[Tone matters. Whether it&#8217;s a conversation with my wife, meeting with my boss, correcting my kids, or making a presentation to an audience; the way I communicate is often much more influential than what I&#8217;m trying to say. This afternoon I listened in on an exciting webinar presented by Network for Good. It was promoted [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m reading his book Start With Why, I follow him on twitter, I&#8217;ve been scoping out his website, and I just finished watching his live presentation at TedX San Diego. I really like what I&#8217;m learning. On Simon&#8217;s blog I came across [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago a colleague from my days as a youth pastor invited me to review his new book. I was somewhat hesitant. While I respected the work Jeff Strong does at Grindstone Church, I suspected his book &#8220;Mere Disciple&#8221; would disappoint me. I anticipated something that took well established and familiar ideas about [...]]]></description>

Having been on boards of a few organizations before, and with a sudden need for someone to accept the chair, I agreed to the role in February. It hasn&#8217;t been an easy time [...]]]></description>
