Coffee & Connection is Friday. Here's why you don't want to miss this one.

This month we're featuring Girls on the Run Northeast Tennessee, the program that has helped more than 14,000 girls across our region build confidence since 2006. You'll get to hear firsthand what they're doing right now in our community, and the people who make it happen.

Friday, October 16, 10 to 11:30 AM at Summit Leadership. Free to attend, no agenda beyond good conversation and real connection.

The people who show up are the ones who always leave saying "I'm glad I came."

Be one of them.

Most teams aren't short on effort. They're just moving in different directions.

Dave McAuley's "Lead with Focus and Design" gives your team the frameworks and common language to get everyone moving the same way: around your mission, your values, and what performance actually means.

No fluff, just practical tools from decades of leading teams.

It's available for $17.95 in paperback at the link in the comments.

Gino Wickman's words land hard for anyone in nonprofit leadership.

Most of the organizations we work with at Summit Leadership have no shortage of vision. Mission statements, big dreams, real heart for their communities.

What separates the ones that grow from the ones that stay stuck is usually ex*****on: clear priorities, named owners for every outcome, and a steady rhythm of honest conversations about what's working.

Traction is unglamorous work. Weekly check-ins. Measurable goals. Disciplined follow-through, week after week.

A compelling picture of the future only matters if you're taking measurable steps toward it. Ambitious goals become achievable when leaders break big visions down and build teams that execute consistently over time.

Where could your organization use more momentum right now?

Every hour you spend working in your business or organization is an hour you're not spending figuring out if it's working. That's the trap most leaders fall into: plenty of effort, no way to tell which parts actually move the needle.

Next Tuesday, we'll fix that. Here are three things you'll walk out with:

1) How to evaluate your impact so you know exactly what's working and what's quietly wasting time and money.
2) A way to track meaningful progress instead of vanity numbers
3) How to make adjustments that keep growth healthy instead of burned out

Leading the conversation is Micah Crews, a Non-Profit Coach & Consultant on our Professional Services Team. Micah spent 25 years in higher education in fundraising, strategy, and leadership, and as a storyteller (even a produced playwright), he helps nonprofits align their language and grow their support.

So bring your real challenges; this one's built as a conversation, not a lecture. The link to register is in the comments.

Roots rarely get noticed. They're underground, quietly doing the work that makes everything else possible.

This week we're spotlighting the roots of our Tree of Impact: our donors and volunteers.

These are the people who give $10 a month. The ones who say yes when we need a hand. The ones who never ask for credit and may never see how far their generosity reaches.

A tree only grows as strong as its roots, and this one is growing because of you. If you've given your time or support to Summit Leadership, thank you. Every gift, at any size, helps us connect and equip leaders right here in our community.

What happens when someone gets a real shot?

Craig's guys from Recovery Resources stood up to speak at an entrepreneurship event hosted by one of our partners here in the building. They were running a small construction business out of a beat-down truck and a '91 Buick Regal piled with tools. One handyman job at a time, just figuring it out.

Justin told the room what they needed most: a work truck.

What happened next: jobs, a home, and two kids who got a father figure. The work that happens in this building doesn't end at the door. Take some time to watch the video to hear the whole story from Craig.

Opportunities like the one Justin received are made possible through the Exodus 17 community. If you want to be part of stories like this, the link is in the comments.
