		<description><![CDATA[I am increasingly convinced that a key to crafting direction, for organizations as well as individuals, is to look into the past. With few (if any) exceptions what we will become at our best is rooted in things that have been true since our beginning.
When I work with individuals on figuring out their best context [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One constant topic of discussion with both funders and charities is the fundamental power imbalance between the two sides. However we try to minimize it, there is a basic reality that charities need resources that funders can provide. While I appreciate the outstanding efforts of many charities to develop mutual value in the interaction the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During a meeting today with Opportunity International, Lise Struthers (Governors Council Director)shared what she&#8217;s told people who ask her what her job is. I love her response:
&#8220;Everyday I get out of bed and get to connect those who live in chronic poverty with those who live in chronic wealth&#8221;.
Perfect.

The most difficult word to parse has been &#8220;Partner&#8221; as I blogged about months ago.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I recommended a book on microfinance. After a really good meeting on Wednesday with Opportunity International &#8211; Canada I was sent this article that breaks the idea down into a pretty manageable chunk while also exploring the edges of the approach.
