Why “Future-Ready” Matters for Nonprofit Leaders | Greg Harrell-Edge

Описание: What does it mean to be future-ready nonprofit leaders when capacity is already stretched thin? In this conversation, Greg Harrell-Edge shares why language, mindset, and shared understanding matter before tactics ever do.

Greg is the founder of the Proimpact Project and a former Executive Director. In this interview, he reflects on:
• Why “the next way” of doing nonprofit work often feels overwhelming
• How language can either invite leaders in or shut them out
• The hidden legacy behind the word “nonprofit”
• Why the sector needs a bottom-up playbook built by people doing the work

This conversation is for nonprofit professionals who feel the tension between urgency and sustainability — and who are searching for ways to evolve without burning out.
