When did the end of Feburary happen?! I swear that the 27 weeks of January only finished last week.
To those (including the talented @skipinder.bsky.social), I'm jealous to not be in NYC right now at #DXS25 with @fundraiseup.bsky.social so do keep the 'bluey's' (is that what they are??) going!

Spent today reviewing pitch decks and feeling sad about the lack of effort nonprofits put into this.
12 slides& <4mins is all you get, yet nonprofits average 37 pages of word salad hoping people will read it.

I keep coming back to Anand Giridharadas’ book, the pursuaders, after the week we’ve had.
One of the key things I got from it last time I read it was the need to listen, to understand, and to consider the alternative view.
Our tactics need to change, because we’re not persuading enough right now.

A challenge to the #leadershipsummit at #IFC2024 - what systemic sector change (RA key driver) will your action lab achieve? Is it genuine or is it being phoned in?

It’s a world of #polycrisis now - disruption on a global scale. We are at a turning point in history. The question is, which direction will we turn? Where will the new thinking we need come from? What will it look like? And how will leaders come forward? #IFC2024
