Video Gallery: Please Steal These Clips!

These ‘aha’ moments from public- and social-sector leaders inspire others in their efforts to deliver meaningful and measurable results for those they serve. —Amy Main Morgenstern

With the participation of great nonprofit leaders, we’re building a gallery of short clips on core concepts of high performance. We’ve found clips like these to be helpful for making the case with colleagues, board members, and funders for investing in high performance.

We encourage you to lift or mash up these clips for conference presentations, board retreats, video-enhanced blogs, or any other other use. If you use the clips, please let us know what you created and how it went over. And, of course, we’d love to see any clips that you think we should feature on this site. With your input, we’d like to keep strengthening this resource.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
