[PODCAST] Protecting Momentum in Nonprofit Leadership

Protecting Momentum in Nonprofit Leadership

In this episode of the Nonprofit Hub Radio Podcast, Alison Teitelbaum of AST Strategies shares practical insights on how executive directors and boards can protect strategic direction, reduce friction, and keep teams energized through transition and change.

The conversation covers essential techniques for overcoming mission creep, such as “level setting” decisions with clear context, measurable goals, and explicit reopening criteria. Teitelbaum details strategies for transitioning legacy organizations from working boards to strategic boards through training and term limits, while offering startup leaders a lighter cadence for keeping strategic plans active and aligning board vision with daily staff realities.

Your organization runs on moments people have to show up for — conferences, performances, exhibitions, renewals, programs, and community experiences. But attention is scattered, inboxes are crowded, and one reminder rarely turns interest into action.

Feathr keeps you visible across every channel, so more people show up, convert, and keep coming back.
