About this listen

A weekly podcast covering topics of interest for those who lead, support, or simply care about "organizations that matter". These include mission driven, nonprofit health care and social service organizations that exist in order to improve the lives of those who experience great challenges. Profitability is obviously important... but so too is the recognition of the other forms of value generated in these settings. Podcast topics include how we finding meaning, purpose, and impact in our work, organizational culture, leadership challenges, changing the trajectory of struggling organizations, and practical leadership strategies. Episodes are brief and to the point, always with the goals of informing and elevating listeners. Occasionally, I interview leaders and experts in related fields and hope to bring you inspiration and information to facilitate your personal leadership and life journey.

  • 96. What Are You Chasing?
    Dec 16 2025

    We all chase something—grades, success, recognition, comfort, connection. Chasing can be good, but it can also lead us astray. In a world of likes, outrage, marketing hooks, and even AI pretending to be us, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Recently, a friend told me, ‘You seem to value authenticity.’ That simple observation made me pause and ask: What am I really chasing? In this episode, I explore how to reevaluate our pursuits, prioritize what matters, and choose authenticity over distraction.

  • 95. The Strategic Plan "Refresh"
    Dec 9 2025

    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.

  • 94. Lending Your Future Self a Hand
    Dec 2 2025

    One of my most popular episodes was about building a personal knowledge management system. And here’s the surprising truth: the system itself matters less than the discipline of using it. Today, I’m sharing a simple life hack that’s saved me countless times—because let’s face it, our future selves are often forgetful, distracted, and, well… a little doltish. The trick? Leave breadcrumbs. Clear instructions. Notes that anticipate what your future self will need, right when they’ll need it. From everyday tasks to professional deliverables, this practice has transformed the way I work and live. Be kind to your future self—they’ll thank you for it.
