I fully support my students in their goals, and can be asked to coach them as they face difficult decisions. I believe in them and I share my enthusiasm for their ideas, even though I know the path they are choosing is hard and they are not quite ready. I want them to go for it! But when it comes to myself, and I have seen other women do the same thing, we are much harder on ourselves. Why is that?
I blog about issues facing nonprofit managers and organizations as a former Executive Director and current nonprofit researcher, professor, and consultant. I am passionate about building up the sector, about claiming the value nonprofits provide to the world.
