05/31/23 • 7 min
You can create a powerful decision making structure with a dynamic of three. This week we continue on the topic of NFPs and structure, and focus on the dynamics of the Chair, CEO and Secretary. Regardless of whether you outsource a secretary or hire internally, there are some important factors to consider when it comes to setting up an optimal NFP structure with a dynamic team of three. I discuss the roles of CEO vs Secretary, who reports to the CEO/Chair, and more.

Should My Not-for-Profit do well or do good?
Not-for-Profit on Purpose

Should my Not For Profit in Australia Do Well or Do Good? // If you’re a not for profit in Australia then at some point you might ask yourself, should my not for profit in Australia do well or do good?
Nonprofit management will often go back and forth with between these two outcomes and really they tend to fall into two different categories. If you’re wanting to do well in your nonprofit then typically that would fall under nonprofit strategic planning or nonprofit strategy as it’s business outcome based. However, the desire to do good falls into the non profit project management category as it’s about the ventures you’re taking on to make a difference.
Nonprofit management 101 will see to it that both of these outcomes are met but through this video I want to dive deeper into what a not for profit organisation is likely to encounter by pursuing either one of these outcomes. If you run a nfp in Australia or you’re putting together a non profit organization business plan then this episode is for you.

Accounting as a Language to tell your story
Not-for-Profit on Purpose
10/25/23 • 7 min
As the CEO of an NFP, telling your story in meaningful and consistent ways is vital to delivering on your purpose. In this video I discuss storytelling through the language of accounting, and why the CEO, Board and stakeholders should speak it regularly to tell their story. Creating a meaningful story with the numbers on the page may be challenging at first, however when spoken regularly, this unique approach has many benefits. Using the language of accounting in storytelling creates consistency and aligns your purpose throughout the organisation.

Why NFPs shouldn't Consolidate
Not-for-Profit on Purpose
10/18/23 • 9 min
Are there too many not-for-profits? Is this causing the NFP sector to be ineffective? Would consolidation improve efficiency in the NFP space? These questions frequently play into conversations. However, let’s not forget, in the NFP space our DNA is all about finding solutions to problems not yet solved. In this video I discuss the consequences of NFP consolidation and offer an alternative. With NFPs being a space of innovation, I believe there is a better solution.

The importance of an Independent Secretary
Not-for-Profit on Purpose
10/11/23 • 7 min
How does an independent Company Secretary contribute to a high-functioning Board? Why would a Board consider recruiting an independent CoSec when they can source this role in-house?
In today’s video we consider this specialised role from the truly independent perspective, as there are many benefits to an outsourced solution. A governance professional who can make calls and give advice with courage, from a place of independence, brings a lot of value to a Board.
Some benefits include improved training, continuity, skills base, a peer for the CEO, board level mindset and strategic outlook.

How to facilitate Board meetings
Not-for-Profit on Purpose
09/26/23 • 8 min
As a Board Chair, are there skills you bring to the role other than being able to run a Board meeting? Would not having to run the Board meeting allow you to add more value in the role of Chair?
With NFPs being all about innovation, it’s only natural that they would be drawn to solutions that allow the Chair and leadership team more time to what they do best in the role, utilizing their own unique skill set for the organisation.
Running a good meeting requires specific skills. In this video I discuss some innovative options to support the Chair and Board without modifying their Board responsibilities. The NFP sector stands to gain a lot from outsourcing Board Facilitation as it ends in great results for all concerned.

What makes a good Board Chair?
Not-for-Profit on Purpose
09/20/23 • 7 min
What makes a good Chair? I have worked with many Boards, and I have worked with good and great Chairs. However, never have I come across a Chair able to do the litany of tasks required of a Chair.
In exploring the role and responsibilities of the Chair, which is always a much bigger role than it appears on paper, what is the common thread amongst Chairs and what makes them great? How do you go from a good Chair to a great one.

How to fix a collapsed Board
Not-for-Profit on Purpose
07/18/23 • 10 min
There are several reasons why a Board collapses, and it is never fun when it does. When the majority of the Board decides the situation is untenable and a lot of knowledge and history walks out the door, how do you recover? How do you rebuild?
In this podcast I discuss options for consideration, specifically in the NFP space. Bringing back stability and replenishing the Board requires an effective team with certain skills and components.
Do not be afraid to use external resources and specialists for Board recruitment. It is not about a quick recovery; it is about the right recovery process, one that is appropriate for your NFP.
