You know what's kinda chic?

Having a team with 150 years of combined professional experience that has collectively raised over $225 million for nonprofits, from international NGOs to local animal welfare organizations.

We've been at this for almost 10 years, registered and in good standing, working with clients across North America, Europe, and Africa.

We refuse to work with organizations that further hate, bigotry, discrimination, oppression, prejudice, injustice, intolerance, or violence. If that describes your organization, we're genuinely not the right fit.

But if you're a good person working hard to do good for this world, call us. We work with Executive Directors, Board members, fundraisers, and cause-focused leaders who are doing real work and need a team that has been inside that work too.

DM us. Tell us where you're stuck.
We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and show you the way forward.

This is the most effective productivity tip for achieving your goals. Ready?

If you have a goal, and especially a big one, don’t let yourself become overwhelmed.

Just ask yourself, “What can I achieve by next week?”

And the trick is to break your goal into smaller pieces:

-> Define at least 3 micro-actions that will help you achieve your goal

-> Allocate how much time you think it’s going to take you to do each action

-> Schedule times in your calendar for each action

This little habit is what separates people who set goals from people who achieve them.

So, open your calendar right now and set that meeting.
Let us know in the comments how it goes.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, and the theme, set by the World Health Organization and the International Association for Su***de Prevention, is "Changing the Narrative on Su***de."

It's a call to talk about su***de differently, openly, early, and without the discomfort that keeps people quiet until they're already in crisis.

But for us at PhoenixFire, this one is personal.

We work closely with the Nonprofit world, where mental health and burnout show up constantly, quietly, in people doing hard work for others.

Our own team and the clients we support have felt this loss too.

If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available anytime, by call or text.

You're not alone.

Today we celebrate all of those who dedicate their lives to helping their communities.

A volunteer showing up... again, before most people are even awake. A shelter worker picking one more shift over one more hour of sleep. A neighbor who just checks in, no camera, no post about it after.

Take those people out of the picture and our society would have no safety nets, no humanitarian foundations, and no way to thrive.

If you're one of the ones who shows up anyway... thank you. That's the Mission, carried by hand, one ordinary day at a time.

And if you're not yet, today's as good a day as any to start.

You’re gatekeeping your own reach if you aren’t running back your best posts from two months ago.

Literally no one remembers your feed like that. If it hit once, dust it off and let the algorithm do the heavy lifting again.

If someone was struggling... would you notice?

Leadership is usually associated with making decisions, giving orders, or handling financial burdens.

When a tough period hits, stress levels go through the roof, or when the Mission gets a little bit too heavy, we've seen leaders struggle with what to do. Moments like these don't send a memo, and when they happen, it's already too late to prepare for it.

That's why we suggest organizations implement a weekly check-in, where they skip that project update and:

- Take 15 minutes, once a week, one-on-one or with the whole team, doesn't really matter which.

- Ask one question: how are you, actually? Give people room to answer honestly, and most of them will.

Then you use what you hear before it turns into a resignation letter you didn't see coming.

Your team cares about the Mission. Make sure you care for them.
That's what real, compassionate leadership feels like.

Sometimes the best PR move you can make is saying nothing.

In one of our latest SPARK sessions, we dived into how to deal with negative feedback online, especially when you represent an organization or a business.

As we were talking through online backlash and hate comments, Sharon Dunlevy , one of our SPARK members, decided to share something she had just been through.

Sharon is an accomplished Educational Advocate for Children in Foster Care. She trains foster parents and has been putting out content for them consistently, for a long time. Content they actually need to be the best foster parents they can be.

In one of her latest pieces of content, Sharon got two negative comments. Those two comments were shut down immediately, but not by her... but by her community.

They showed up and defended her work because Sharon had been showing up for them for a very long time, with real content, training, advice, and engagement. Giving them real value. Doing it long enough that they feel it.

When you engage with people, they become advocates for you.
That's what happens when you show up for the people you serve.

Thank you, Sharon, for sharing your experience with us!

If you're using Claude... You NEED to read this!

You can actually choose which version of Claude handles your questions, and that can give you better answers and burn way less energy to get them:

- Haiku is for simple, fast tasks.
Think quick summaries, basic questions, sorting through a list. One query produces around 0.10g of CO₂ , roughly the same as sending 7 texts.

- Sonnet covers most of your real work.
Writing, editing, coding, brainstorming. One query produces roughly 0.38–0.67g CO₂ , the same as watching 3 mins of Netflix.

-Opus is for the genuinely hard problems where you need the highest quality possible.
About 18x heavier on energy than Haiku, and roughly 5x more expensive per query. One query produces roughly 1.8g CO₂ , which would be like watching 10 mins of Netflix.

So yes, the exact same service can have 3 different ecological footprints, depending on the model being used. You can avoid wasting resources by keeping in mind what to use and when:

- Haiku for quick tasks.
- Sonnet for most things.
- Opus only when you really need it.

Save this now and remember it when you use Claude.

Only the top 1% of leaders do this.
They don't let negative moments run the show.

Something unexpected happens every day. Challenges pop up that you need to deal with. Sometimes it derails your schedule for a day, a week... and sometimes, you never really get back on track.

But we can't let a single setback hijack the story. Your morale collapses, your decisions become reactive instead of strategic, and the Mission slips out of focus.

Believe us, we know. We've seen it with every client we've ever worked with, and we deal with it ourselves. Here's what we know for sure: Resilient leadership flips the script.

So, here's what you do.

- Address the setback but never give it the spotlight unless YOU WANT to.

- Instead, you redirect attention to your Mission, your strategy, and your long-term goals. If you decide to give it attention, then focus on how you and your team are overcoming that challenge. Use it as an example of how talented and effective your team is.

When you lead with resilience, your team rises up to the occasion with you. That is going to lift their morale instead of hurting it. You'll be able to take that negative moment and turn it into a real positive.

Every situation is different though, and generic advice is only going to get you so far. You need to address every situation the right way if you want to become a resilient leader.
