Maggie takes you on her journey from a tragic start to the C-suite with humor, heart, and humility that will engage you, and weaves it together with business, leadership, and life lessons that will inspire and change you.
- Dave Keil, Former Chairman and CEO of HoneyBaked Ham
Vocational guidance and career development coaches routinely preach the values of following passion rather than money. Few, however, would necessarily recommend taking an 86% pay cut to leave the C-suite to run a local nonprofit.
In Humbled on Purpose, Maggie DeCan humorously details her exit from a high-powered corporate role to become the leader of the Children's Development Academy. In the process, DeCan left over a million dollars in annual compensation on the table, but found her calling as a champion for high-quality childcare and early education.
Throughout the book, which serves as both a memoir and leadership guide, DeCan emphasizes the sacrifices she had to make early in her career to cut it in a male-dominated corporate culture. After recounting her own management missteps, she outlines her philosophy of scar-based leadership, a framework for individuals to lead not by strength and perfection, but rather by acknowledging their own failures and shortcomings.
Humbled on Purpose is an essential resource for individuals just embarking on their careers, and for those looking to find more meaning in their lives. It is well-known that career fulfillment is not achieved by pursuing every last dollar available. At the same time, DeCan points out that leaders should not have to forfeit a meaningful salary in the name of passionate self-sacrifice.
Balancing purpose and prosperity is critical to more than just individual growth. The betterment of our communities depends on it.
Nonprofits power much of what's good in society today. They support, preserve, advocate, and defend, while helping us understand and navigate complex issues and landscapes. It's hard work, and it relies on building relationships between board members who govern, clients and members who enjoy or rely on services, and supporters who take action and donate to advance the organization's mission.
Communicating clearly and effectively is critical to building strong relationships, but many nonprofits are under-resourced communicators. They lack staff expertise, capacity, and funding. In addition, marketing and communications best practices specific to the needs of nonprofits are scarce. It's hard for many nonprofits to know what to prioritize and where to spend limited resources.
This book outlines a simple model for nonprofit communicators and leaders that makes it easier for them to leverage communications in order to advance their mission. Nonprofit CEOs and staff who manage communications can use this book to set clearer goals, guide their planning and activities, identify gaps in their expertise, and discover opportunities to strengthen their communications.
Is there a cause that's close to your heart that you want to contribute more to?
Do you want to serve your local community in a bigger way?
Do you want to do more than volunteering or donating?
If so, starting your own nonprofit may be a good idea.
A nonprofit organization is one that works for a social cause or serves the public good.
Whether you want to improve literacy, stop animal cruelty, or feed the hungry, a nonprofit is an effective channel to make a significant impact.
While volunteering or donating are extremely helpful, they are often limited in what you can do.
As a volunteer, you only get to join whatever activity a group organizes.
As a donor, you can earmark what you want your funds to be used for, but you don't have a say in what programs they will implement.
With a nonprofit, you'll be able to have more control over what to do, who to do them for, and how much to spend on it.
If you have plenty of ideas for how you can help your cause but have zero idea about starting a nonprofit, then look no further.
In this guide, you'll find all you need to establish and operate a nonprofit, while avoiding the common pitfalls that new startups encounter.
In How to Start a 501(C)(3) Nonprofit, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
And much more.
While running a nonprofit will definitely take more of your time, it won't feel like a burden.
The satisfaction from knowing that you're working towards something good for the world will outweigh any hardship you'll encounter.
When you're doing your life's purpose, the rewards are immeasurable.
The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit presents realistic strategies for leaders looking to optimize organizational achievement while avoiding the common nonprofit burnout. With a uniquely holistic approach to nonprofit leadership strategy, this book functions as a handbook to help leaders examine their existing organization, identify trouble spots, and resolve issues with attention to all aspects of operations and culture. The expert author team walks you through the process of building a happier, healthier organization from the ground up, with a balanced approach that considers more than just quantitative results. Employee wellbeing takes a front seat next to organizational performance, with clear guidance on establishing optimal systems and processes that bring about better results while allowing a healthier work-life balance. By improving attitudes and personal habits at all levels, you'll implement a positive cultural change with sustainable impact.
Nonprofits are driven to do more, more, more, often with fewer and fewer resources; there comes a breaking point where passion dwindles under the weight of pressure, and the mission suffers as a result. This book shows you how to revamp your organization to do more and do it better, by putting cultural considerations at the heart of strategy.
At its core, a nonprofit is driven by passion. What begins as a personal investment in the organization's mission can quickly become the driver of stress and overwork that leads to overall lackluster performance. Executing a cultural about-face can be the lifeline your organization needs to thrive. The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit provides a blueprint for sustainable change, with a holistic approach to improving organizational outlook.

This thought-provoking book serves not just as a memoir but as a powerful guide for those seeking to enhance the quality of their professional and personal connections.
WIN WON comes from what Reggie puts into practice in his business and personal relationships. WHAT I NEED - WHAT OTHERS NEED
Reggie, a seasoned Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce president, distills his life into three distinct phases: learning and self-shaping, life-shaping and experiencing, and finally, legacy building and enjoying the fruits of earlier years.

Through engaging chapters filled with personal accounts deeply woven with important life lessons, Reggie imparts wisdom gained from his unique blend of experiences. He challenges the reader to rethink conventional notions of success and relationship building, offering a fresh perspective on how to lead a more fulfilling life. His stories are more than mere anecdotes; they are a testament to the power of faith, forgiveness, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.
This book is not just another motivational read. It is a call to action, inviting readers to scrutinize the motives behind the self-help industry and to seek authenticity in their personal growth journeys. Reggie's approach is grounded in giving back and sharing wisdom accrued over decades rather than capitalizing on others' aspirations.
A Win Won Situation is ideal for anyone at a crossroads looking to navigate the complexities of personal and professional relationships with integrity and purpose. It's a guide for those who seek to live a meaningful last third of their life, leaving behind a legacy of collaboration, success, and genuine connection.

Kaiser provides real-life case studies, tools, and exercises to help you transform your association's engagement in a way that is more personalized, responsive, and supportive.

A can't-miss roadmap to unlocking freedom, creativity, and innovation amongst your team members, Kindly Review belongs on the bookshelves of leader at for-profit firms, nonprofit agencies, and government departments looking for new ways to approach team leadership.
Every now and then, nonprofits partner up with government agencies, foundations, and other such organizations to carry out projects - those with potential to help the local community, get people off the streets, or even change lives.
For you and your nonprofit, that means drafting a grant proposal, elaborating on your grand vision, and your plan to make it a reality.
Sounds easy, right?
However, no matter how impressive your nonprofit is, unless your proposal ticks the grant-giver's specific boxes, you will get rejected.
You might keep trying, slogging through proposal after proposal, but all it will do is lower your confidence, making it a struggle to sell your vision and win a grant.
But what if you could change that?
The good news is, you can. The Winning Grants method is a skill that can be learned and with a few slight adjustments to your proposal writing you can immediately increase your chance of winning.
In fact, you're only a few small adjustments away from writing winning grants.
A few of the things I will teach you:
1. How to find large pots of grant funding that are most likely to want to fund your nonprofit
2. How to write an irresistible application that will give you the highest possible chance of winning
3. The most common reasons why grant proposals get rejected and how to avoid them
And much more.
Writing grant proposals can feel like a hit-or-miss process, but if you apply any of the methods offered in this book then you can quickly and easily turn it into a predictable and reliable method of funding.
So, are you ready to win grants for your nonprofit?
