She’s also the podcast host of Mission: Impact. Key Takeaways: Balance bold vision with attainable and actionable steps. Think about what success is going to look like for you and how you can know that you are moving in the right direction. Use the acronym SOAR when making your strategic plan. It stands for strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results. Mission statements should reflect the current reality and where the organization is going, and how it will go. It’s like a GPS that’s recalculating the path to the destination based on where one is currently. Work through some conflict, tension, uncertainty, or distrust in the team before moving forward with creating a strategic plan. “There's a way to, to stretch, have stretch goals, but then also really have it be realistic, so that, you know, people can see themselves in it and see that it's doable.” “SOAR (strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results) focuses on what's working in the organization, and how can we build more of that.” “A strategic planning process is only ever a snapshot in time and it really needs to start being a practice in the organization versus just an event.” - Carol Hamilton Reach out to Carol Hamilton at: Website: http://www.gracesocialsector.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carol-hamilton-0052b71/ Ask for and receive all you want, need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.
