Take Stock of your Gains

Take Stock of your Gains

Author: Katie Spencer December 24, 2024 Duration: 19:22

How do we close out our year with gratitude, a sense of accomplishment, and energy to dive into 2025? In this short episode, I walk you through an exercise to do just that:


"...to prepare to tackle next year, it’s important to take stock of this year. And not just take stock, but acknowledge that you’ve done a lot. That you’ve accomplished so much. And that you’ve grown, as a leader, as a human."


Join me to take stock of your gains and you will:

  • Be reminded of all you have to celebrate!
  • Get an emotional and energetic lift - wow, look at all of that. I really did do a ton!
  • Decrease your stress - and I know you want to enjoy the holidays and feel relaxed as you enter the new year. 



Katie Spencer has spent more than fifteen years working inside the non-profit world, and she’s familiar with the unique frustrations that can leave even the most passionate leaders feeling stalled. In her Next Era Non-Profit podcast, she moves beyond abstract theory to tackle the very real, systemic habits that hold organizations back from their full potential. Each conversation is built on a simple, powerful idea: creating greater social impact shouldn’t come at the cost of burning out your team or yourself. Instead, Katie focuses on practical, manageable shifts that leaders can implement without adding more chaos to an already demanding role. You’ll hear honest discussions about operational pitfalls, funding myths, and the cultural changes that can unlock a new chapter of effectiveness. This isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter, with clarity and strategy. Tune in for grounded advice that translates directly into daily practice, helping you achieve more meaningful results while actually reclaiming some sanity in the process. The aim is to make the path forward feel less daunting and more doable, one actionable step at a time.
