What To Do when You Have Too Many Competing Advocacy Priorities, and Everything Feels Urgent - Episode 39

What To Do when You Have Too Many Competing Advocacy Priorities, and Everything Feels Urgent - Episode 39

I frequently hear from nonprofit leaders that they feel overwhelmed by the amount of strategic relationships they're trying to build. And they get both frustrated and exhausted trying to move them all forward at once. And it just feels like an endless hamster wheel.  It doesn't ever feel like there's an end in sight. You don't have to live there, and I want to help you get out of that.

In this episode, we share:

  • The first thing to get clear about with each of your competing advocacy priorities
  • A simple framework for determining the two key elements of urgency
  • One easy way to reduce the overwhelm associated with time urgency
  • A three piece rubric to organize all your advocacy priorities and strategic relationships that will tell you where to focus your energy at any given time
  • One key extra level of analysis that will give you even greater clarity
  • How to build these frameworks into your ongoing work, so you can eliminate chaos and stay ahead of the curve  

 If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.

Thanks!
