Hi, I’m Stephen, the Chief Operating Officer for a growing membership and advocacy nonprofit.
I’ve learned that scaling an organization – whether it be a nonprofit, a social enterprise, or a small business – isn’t easy. I think a lot about how to build better systems and strategy to scale without chaos.
Most of us land in these leadership roles without a playbook. We wrestle with unclear strategy, clunky systems, and the constant tug between daily fires and long-term growth.
I’m figuring it out too – and sharing what I learn along the way.
This publication is where I capture lessons learned, frameworks that work (and those that don’t), and ideas for building organizations that grow without chaos.
