The Power of Your Stories
Often when I’m working with not-for-profit (NFP) organisations, I find myself sitting opposite a member of the Board. I look across the desk and see an accomplished, sincere and, let’s face it, very busy person and I’m always shaking my head and asking: ‘Why do they give their time? What moved them to put up their hand?’
I’m not sure many board members ask themselves these same questions though – except perhaps when facing frustrations or juggling competing priorities.
