They Can’t Afford You

Time to level up.

You are a talented, experienced professional. You know what you’re doing and are bright enough to know when you need help and aren’t afraid to go after it and deliver for your organization.

Candidly, if you weren’t there your organization would suffer.

Let’s level up another step.

Think about the community where you live. There are many not-for-profit organizations that do incredible things right in your backyard. Somehow they make a difference despite the massive challenges they face each day, not the least of which is being able to hire the best talent.

This is where you come into the picture.

Can those organizations afford to hire you? No, they cannot.

Would those organizations benefit massively from your expertise? Yes, they absolutely would.

Final step.

My ask today is that you identify a not-for-profit organization in your community that aligns with your personal values.

• Contact them
• Get to know what they do
• Volunteer your time
• Join their Board of Directors
• Make a difference beyond the four walls of your employer (which also builds your employer brand as a community-minded organization)

Are you willing to take that step? Or, is it easier to say that you’re “just so busy that you don’t have any extra time?”

One last thing…I do practice what I preach. I am privileged to serve on the Board of Directors of the Children’s Cancer Center here in Tampa, Florida.

Thanks for being here.
