Following the heart

When you follow your heart you accumulate many experiences. The heart becomes a mixture of those experiences.
WHY YAY TEAM!
Yay Team! helps individuals work with their organizations to create a viable structure and process, resulting in a group of volunteers who are excited and motivated by the ease at which they and their organization get best results.

One of my unique abilities is that I am an intuitive problem solver. I enjoy helping people solve problems and take advantage of opportunities. Across a variety of fields, this is what I have been doing for the last 30 years.

While working with the President of a nonprofit board on which I serve, I realized I had ideas for making nonprofit organizations more effective. These ideas are especially helpful to nonprofits that do not use paid staff.  I call these all volunteer nonprofits. These ideas will help them have clearer communications, reduce burn out, and improve board function.

I’m excited to be working with nonprofit organizations because they deliver important services and results to the public in-lieu of local, state and federal governmental agencies. They also are a means for any community to do something special, even if it’s just a successful bowling league. When nonprofits get best results the community benefits.

In The Heart’s Wisdom, Daniel Erway says, “Your Heart is the wisest thing in the universe.” In developing Yay Team! I am following the wisdom of my heart. I believe I can help all volunteer nonprofit organizations get best results.

So what is hindering nonprofit organizations? There are a number of things including: no clear definition of roles for the volunteers, poor communications and difficulty managing both internal and external deadlines. All of these cause frustrations and put stress on the organization and its volunteers.

The solution to these issues is in structuring the positions of the president, board members and committee members to provide good communication and results. A nonprofit creates a strong, productive organization by putting volunteers in effective  positions; by having a board that understands it role and does not micromanage; and by being led by a president who manages the board and the team of committee heads.

This results in a group of volunteers who are excited and motivated by the ease at which they and their organization get the results they set out to achieve.

This is where my heart is. Welcome to the place where the heart leads through wisdom and we can achieve great things together.
