We all have an iceberg - How to get the lifeboats out in time
We all have something in our financial future which threatens to take us off course. Our job as captains of the small charity ship is to:
- keep looking up and out
- keep enough life jackets on board
- change course when the numbers tell us to
We will soon be hosting a financial resilience session where we will hear from some amazing small charity leaders who are at different stages of their financial resilience building journey. Invites out soon in our mailing list. In the meantime, here is a slidedeck folks :)

Waving Not Drowning
Financial Resilience as a Leadership Skill
It’s not that resilient charities don’t face difficulty. Of course they do. All organisations do. What sets resilient charities apart is that they have created the conditions that give their charity the very best chance of recovering and adapting when challenges hit. Leaders of resilient charities expect challenges and lead in ways that enable folks to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.
Join Liz Pepler for a Small Charity Week Lunch and Learn to explore the top 3 traits of leaders who build financial resilience.
When: TBC.
Join our mailing list for an invite.
