We cannot afford to long for the “good old days” of stability. We cannot keep designing strategies based on a world that no longer exists. Waiting for normal to return is not a plan—it’s a form of denial. What this moment demands is courageous adaptation. Innovation. Urgency.

Leadership should be a catalyst for innovation and long-term sustainability, not a bottleneck to progress.

For nonprofits, this is not a time to simply react—it’s a time to lead. The road ahead is ripe with opportunity. Will you seize it?
