Mid-Year Check-In on Your Annual Plan

There is something about Wednesdays that give me energy. Maybe it's because I'm a Libra and there is something balanced about the mid-week.

I'm similarly feeling that balance in this month of June. We're almost at the halfway point of the year. It's a great time to look back at accomplishments and reset for the next half of the year. Maybe even do a little re-prioritizing. 

When we set organization and staff work goals in January, we're usually trying our best to see into the future. There is so much we don't know yet about the shape our work will take and what resources will be available to us. We make our best guess at the conditions we will encounter. But by June, we know so much more! 

In my opinion, most plans are meant to be dynamic documents. Not so malleable that you're just blowing with the wind, but not so rigid that you can't react to new information and act accordingly.  Maybe you and your staff are already revisiting your annual work plans and readjusting or just re-grounding yourselves.  Maybe it's something you want to do, but between summer vacations and overwhelming workloads, has been put on the back burner. If doing a mid-year check-in on staff work plans is something you want to do, but don't have time for, let me take that off your plate! Let's talk ;)

In the meantime, some of my mid-year updates include a brand-new website and an updated menu of services. Check them out and let me know what you think! 

I'm also launching a video series this summer to tackle some of the thorny issues that I've encountered while working with clients and colleagues. I'll cover recent job reports on the state of nonprofits, how to find or be a fiscal sponsor for grassroots groups, and practical and actionable fundraising how-to guides. Stay tuned!

I'm happy to be in community with you and I'm excited to journey through the second half of the year and see all the exciting things that you do!

Much love, 
Tiffany
