Its been a couple months since passing the torch of ED of DonorsResource.org . It has taken me this long stop staying that “I drive a nonprofit.” Strange how closely we identify with what we do, how it becomes who we are. This process has reminded me that change is not only good but necessary because of the ruts that we get comfortable and stuck in.
My new role with DonorsResource.org is marketing and development. Have any idea how happy I am? Here’s my pat on the back for noticing the need for a change and willingly stepping out of the position that I had been in since 2005.
Old habits die hard and finally, my new groove is flowing in every way, solving my identity crisis.
