Analysis
We’ve dwindled and things don’t feel right. Each volunteer feels unappreciated no matter how much we try to appreciate them.
Our leader has great ideas and strategies, but their follow through keeps getting distracted. We need to be cohesive and find some follow through or we’ll have to close.
Planning
What used to work just doesn’t work any more. The way we’re doing things is antiquated and we need to either start over or learn how to transition.
Everyone is afraid of each other. Staff gives over and above to keep their jobs, but they aren’t producing the results to lead the organization forward.
Let’s get things turned in the right direction.
“I started with Kimberly at a time when I was in so much pain I was not able to lead well. I didn’t know it at the time but my core beliefs were so weak that my business was falling apart. After Kimberly laid out a program for me, I faithfully documented my business plan in little chunks on an hourly basis. By the next day I had vision for my future! Within one week, my team mates noticed how much stronger our business was. I continue faithfully everyday to ground myself in scripture and continue the planning process and daily routines. I am so thankful for Kimberly and her knowledge to help my team mates and I succeed!”
