We designed a "KNOWING WHO I AM" Thinking material that is foundational for any life application (business, career, relationship, parenting, mental health, personal and professional development, finance, marriage, etc.). It aligns with and supports emotional intelligence and positive psychology. In this course, participants will learn the distinction between asking questions and using questions to gain clarity.
Creating a Results-based and Equity-conscious Workplace
Once you have created your strategic plan the challenging and complex journey of implementation begins. Remember your strategic plan will never move forward unless you intentionally and regularly tie together these ten components of organizational alignment and integration.
*Alignment may be defined as the proper positioning of parts (strategies, programs, events, services, ministries, etc.) to achieve an overall objective.
*Integration may be defined as the combination of two or more previously segregated or disparate parts into one unified system.
To successfully implement your organization's strategic plans, you must constantly be aligning and integrating the plan into the organization through ten components: Goals, Tactics, Processes and Systems, the Budget, Team Structure, Values, Leadership Development, a Communication Plan, Tracking and Measures, and Reporting and Accountability.

Donor stewardship is the relationship-building process that occurs after a donor makes a gift. The main purpose of stewarding your donors is to inspire them to give again. Creating a connection with your donors will make them feel loyal to your nonprofit. And this, in turn, will help you fundraise in the future.
Your stewardship goals should revolve around forming a mutually-beneficial relationship. In this relationship, your nonprofit receives financial support for its mission and your donors feel good (among other benefits). To build this relationship, most nonprofits engage in stewardship practices, such as updating donors on the impact of their gifts, reporting on their philanthropic efforts, and creating frequent opportunities and activities for donors to get involved.
Donor retention is a measure of how many of your contributors continue to donate to your organization after making their initial contribution. Donor retention will be low if your organization does not inspire new contributors to donate again. You will have a better donor retention rate if you have a large number of repeat donors. Your donor retention rate is important because it may have a significant influence on the financial health of your organization.

Brenda's expertise is truly remarkable, she is amazing at what she does! The job search process used to be overwhelming for me, but after Brenda revamped my resume into what looks like a 6-figure job resume, she equipped me for success in the job search. Now, I am confident, hopeful, and excited to embark on this new job search journey. I am extremely grateful for all the help!

I recently moved to Canada and needed guidance on entering the job market. Sessions with Bren were instrumental in helping me understand the Canadian job landscape. Her insights proved invaluable for writing my CV, preparing for interviews, and navigating the workforce as a new immigrant. Bren continues to share opportunities with me, and her consultancy sessions have been crucial in advancing my career in Canada.
