“Patience is getting beyond yourself. If there's a lack of patience, it's because you're putting yourself as a priority to any situation that there is.” - Patrick Rodriguez

 

In our work in the nonprofit sector, it often feels like things need to happen right away - the needs are, afterall, urgent. But today on the podcast we’re talking all about patience - the ability to play the long game to have a greater impact. I’m joined by first-time ED and formerly incarcerated Patrick Rodriguez, from the Georgia Coalition for Higher Education in Prison. Patrick’s journey from inmate to ED along with his deep reflections and patience, teaches us how to look beyond the immediate needs to a more strategic long-term vision.

Don’t forget to become a supporter of our show!

Highlights:

  • The benefit of having patience for long-term growth and mission fulfilment

  • How to take time to do things well to set your organization up for success

  • The role of relationships to get buy-in for patience and long term planning
