The Purpose Driven Leadership Journey for Nonprofits

Keep your best people longer, raise more money and deliver more impact

Attracting and retaining talent, particularly Millennials and GenZ, is one of the biggest challenges facing North American non-profit leaders.

2021 saw the largest number of voluntary departures from jobs on record, with US data showing over 4 million employees quitting each month. The tight labour market means that there has not been a significant improvement in 2022.

One of the key reasons for this Great Resignation has been the search for more meaningful work. Over 30% of those leaving jobs did so due to a lack of such work and 71% of GenZs are prepared to take a pay cut for it.

This creates three major problems for non-profit leaders:

Firstly, most organizations, even in the non-profit space, are unclear on their Purpose. They can demonstrate clearly WHAT they do, and some can even explain HOW they do it. But very few are clear on WHY they do what they do.
Secondly, even when organizations do the work to clearly articulate their Purpose, then they face significant challenges in translating the Purpose into a real culture of impact and abundance.
Thirdly, most employees are not clear on their own, individual Purpose and therefore cannot align effectively to even the most Purpose-driven organization.

The Purpose-Driven Impact Journey has been designed to address all three of these problems, enabling non-profit leaders to unlock new levels of growth, wellbeing, transformation and abundance in their organizations.

Purpose-Driven Impact provides the thinking and tools for leaders of impact-driven organizations to:

Powerfully articulate what their organizations stand for, not just what they do
Create actions and programs to bring their Purpose to life
Engage and enroll new supporters, partners and donors while deepening key existing relationships
Make their organizations more attractive places to work for employees and boost creativity and productivity

And it creates a real Culture of Impact by enabling all members of the organization to:

Reveal their individual Purpose and the barriers and patterns that are preventing them from realizing their potential
Align their personal Purpose with what the organization stands for, unlocking new potential for creativity, energy, leadership and growth
Become more compelling, authentic & enrolling communicators

Jon, we want to personally thank you for your contribution to a successful meeting. Working with you has been such a pleasure.

Jon’s techniques and mentorship style have opened up new avenues for me to channel my energy where it belongs. My energy was fading until we discussed some changes that dramatically improved productivity and made me more present at work

Founder, Startup Incubator

Working with Jon was a unique experience for us. It was a journey that helped us articulate our global positioning and value proposition and which provided us, the founders, a new perspective on the opportunities to create much greater impact for our customers. Jon helped us bridge between the international demand for our solutions and the clients with whom we work. Together we created a value proposition that we are using successfully to attract different stakeholders, from global corporates to high net worth individuals as impact investors. We will definitely continue working with Jon on our future endeavours
