Why Your Strategic Thinking Time Disappears Every Week
Most nonprofit executive directors lose their strategic thinking time every week for a reason that has nothing to do with discipline: it is the only block on the calendar with no one waiting on the other end of it. In this micro-episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage explains why strategy loses to everything else on a CEO's week — every competing commitment carries a consequence for missing it, and unstructured thinking time carries none — and lays out three moves that make the strategic function str...

Crossover! How To Make Your Org More Sustainable, With Casey Lardner & Chidi Asoluka | From the We Are For Good Summit
Capacity is something you design. And when you feel strain, it's about that design, not about passion or ability. In this conversation, I talk with two leaders who've redesigned their organizations to support the full weight of incredible org impact. Casey Lardner is the Executive Director of Genspace, the world's first community biology lab, Chidi Asoluka is the Founder and CEO of NewComm, which went from a classroom experiment with 18 kids to a student-led organization delivering projects f...

The Answer To Your Funding Instability May Be Hiding In Plain Sight
"Once we stabilize the funding, we'll invest in systems." It sounds like responsible stewardship, and almost every leader running a $1M–$2M organization has said some version of it. But Brooke Richie-Babbage takes the belief apart, because she's watched it keep good organizations stuck in a loop that never resolves: the funding doesn't stabilize, and the missing infrastructure is one of the reasons it doesn't. This episode names the catch-22 directly — you're waiting for a door to unlock from...

Why Pretending the Organization Is Simpler Than It Is Doesn't Work
You leave a leadership team meeting where everyone got their assignments and everyone nodded — and you still can't shake the sense that the real problem never got said out loud. That feeling isn't paranoia, and it isn't a sign your team is conflict-averse. In this episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage names a pattern she sees constantly in growing nonprofits: capable, mission-driven rooms shrinking a genuinely hard problem down to something manageable, because there's nowhere organizational to...

3 Truths Every 7-Figure Nonprofit ED Needs to Hear
There's a version of nonprofit leadership that gets sold as authenticity, luck, and the right personality in the chair — and it quietly lets leaders off the hook for the hard redesign work that real growth requires. In this episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage delivers a direct message to CEOs running $1.2M to $2.5M organizations: you've crossed enough thresholds to feel institutional complexity, but you haven't yet built the structural architecture to carry it. Drawing on three themes that surface...

Stop Apologizing for a Funding Model That Works
What This Episode Answers Most growing nonprofits aren't underperforming because their funding is too concentrated — they're stalling because they've adopted a borrowed script about what a "healthy" nonprofit funding model is supposed to look like. In this episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage challenges the prescribed funding hierarchy and explains why the organizations that scale don't diversify in the traditional sense. They identify the one funding model that fits their strengths and build deep...

The Day Your Organization Starts Running on “Unspoken Agreements”
Most organizations aren’t just shaped by strategy, org charts, or job descriptions — they’re shaped by the unwritten rules everyone follows but no one talks about. In this episode, I walk through what I call “unspoken agreements” — the invisible patterns that quietly determine how decisions get made, who holds power, and what problems never actually get solved. I’ve seen how these agreements start as helpful shortcuts in early-stage organizations. They reduce friction and keep things moving. ...
