The 1-Thing Way Nonprofit Partnership and Investment Initiative for Social Impact
About the 1-Thing Way Impact Initiative
Supporting the People Behind the Mission
At the heart of every great cause is a team of people giving their all. But too often, those who spend their days serving others are the first to run out of the energy they need for their own lives.
The 1-Thing Way Impact Initiative was created to change that. As the author of The 1-Thing Way, I’ve seen how easy it is for our personal lives and our work to feel like a constant tug-of-war. I believe the best way to support a mission is to invest in the personal capacity of the people driving it.
Through this initiative, I partner with nonprofits to share a practical way to manage the three areas of energy: Inflow, Outflow, and Restoration. My goal is to help your team show up ready, focused, and able to reach their goals without burning out in the process.
How I Partner
I’m not interested in just “checking a box.” This is a real investment in your team. To show my commitment to your work, every partnership combines my framework with direct financial support:
- The Framework Briefing: A simple, high-impact session where I walk your team through the 1-Thing Way to give everyone a shared language for managing their daily energy.
- Practical Action: Small-group sessions or leadership sessions where we apply the framework to real, personal and professional goals to help your team clear the deck of what’s holding them back.
- Direct Investment: Financial support provided through our philanthropic fund to help your organization keep doing its vital work.
