I recently found myself juggling the largest client roster I've ever had at once and the workload was starting to feel overwhelming! My trusty pen-and-paper lists and daily sticky notes weren't cutting it anymore – Enter my surprisingly simple Excel system that's been a total game-changer:

We’ve all heard “Rotary this...” and “Rotary that...” - but what exactly is Rotary? And is it really something worth putting your time into? Rotary International describes itself as “a global network of neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change.” And yes, it is absolutely worth it.

You know that feeling when your traditional marketing efforts just aren't cutting it anymore? It's time to shake things up with strategic sponsorships that can transform your business presence. There’s a reason that companies stay in your brain - like State Farm and Coors Light. And it’s not because of your untapped passion for insurance and beer.  It’s because you see them making a difference in your community through sponsorships.

The days when social media success was measured purely in likes and shares are long gone – that’s so 2012. To stay with the times, nonprofits need to foster genuine connections that inspire real community involvement. But how can you create meaningful digital engagement that actually moves the needle?

When running a business, adding more to your plate can sound daunting. But real community engagement goes beyond just writing checks or showing up at the occasional chamber of commerce meeting. We’re talking about meaningful involvement – the kind where you become a familiar face at local events and people know your name, not just your business card.

An organizational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that examines every facet of your organization's operations. It's like getting a full-body scan of your organization, revealing both visible and hidden aspects that impact performance. They ensure your organization's capabilities align perfectly with its strategic objectives, providing a clear roadmap for targeted improvements. 

We all know that sometimes strategic planning can feel like herding cats while juggling flaming torches. But here's the good news: you can ditch those headaches. We have one favorite tool to hold a productive discussion around what your business or organization should do in the future. That way you can transform planning from a painful marathon into a manageable (and dare we say enjoyable?) process.
