Turning Goals Into Reality — Even the “Impossible” Ones. As the year begins, nonprofits everywhere are taking a hard look at their goals. Some organizations are proudly checking boxes. Others… would prefer not to discuss the list at all. Wherever you land, one truth is clear: transformational goals don’t happen by accident. They’re built with intention, clarity, and a willingness to rethink the approach.

On Wednesday’s episode, we welcome Keith Ellis, The Impossible Success Coach, who brings a radically practical perspective on how nonprofits can set goals that truly matter—and actually achieve them. Keith challenges conventional planning habits and introduces a strategic way to turn “good intentions” into measurable outcomes.

He also tackles one of the sector’s most persistent challenges: helping boards focus on transformational goals instead of getting stuck in operational distractions. His insights on leadership alignment, prioritization, and pursuing bold, mission-driven targets are especially timely as nonprofits prepare for 2026.

If your organization is entering planning season with excitement, anxiety, or a bit of both, this conversation will reset your thinking—and strengthen your strategy.

Staffing is no longer an HR issue—it’s a strategic leadership imperative! We turn our attention to staffing and labor trends with returning guest Katie Warnock, Founder and CEO of Staffing Boutique.

From the growing cultural reality that philanthropy is cool, to the accelerating role of AI in daily workflows, to the very real exhaustion nonprofit leaders are carrying into the new year, this conversation names what many organizations are feeling—but haven’t yet structured a response to. Katie shares what she’s seeing across nonprofit hiring, retention, and leadership pipelines, and why organizations that fail to adapt their staffing strategies may struggle to compete for talent in 2026 and beyond.

The discussion also tackles politically driven uncertainty, cultural fatigue, and why benefits, flexibility, and investment in people—not just salaries—are becoming defining factors in workforce stability. This is not trend-watching for curiosity’s sake; it’s about making smarter, forward-thinking decisions that protect mission delivery.

If your nonprofit is thinking about retention, recruitment, burnout, or how to future-proof your team, this episode offers timely insight and practical perspective to start the year strong.

Many nonprofits treat fundraising challenges as isolated problems. But what if persistent struggles with grants and revenue are actually symptoms of deeper structural issues?

Dr. Sharon Elefant joins us to explore how organizational structure—roles, systems, expectations, and alignment—directly impacts fundraising success. When those pieces are misaligned, even strong development efforts can fall short.

This conversation takes a practical look at why grant challenges often stem from internal design, not just the application itself, and how funders evaluate nonprofits beyond what’s written on the page. Dr. Elefant shares clear insights to help leaders rethink how fund development is positioned within their organization and how to approach fundraising in a more strategic, productive way.

If your nonprofit is working hard but not seeing consistent results, this episode may help explain why—and what to do differently.

Join us with Dr. Sharon Elefant on The Nonprofit Show.
