Lead with Heart | Philanthropy, Nonprofit Leadership, Nonprofit Management & Fundraising

In this episode, I have Brian Ford, the host of the Self Improvement Daily Podcast – with 17+ million downloads to date. He is on a mission to help convert human intention into action and has been actively working on personal development for over a decade.
There’s so much content out there about self-improvement. We talk about it, we think about it, but when it comes down to it we don’t actually do it.
Today, Brian is sharing with us some really tangible and tactical tips and processes that will help you finally implement self-improvement practices in your life and foster them within your organization. This way you’ll get to create the life you want, living as intentionally as possible, making choices in the moment that serve you and your mission, and making sure that you’re showing up as the very best version of yourself in whatever moment you find yourself in.
