00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.150
So when I think about long-term
success, for me it's about

23a21c0e-da66-4edc-b3b7-60f874868fc9-1
00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:08.480
keeping core questions front and
center.

d9d46980-269a-428c-95e3-c4763c8c9a59-0
00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:12.440
And for me those questions are
why, what, and how.

aa47a573-9e51-4f2a-a774-4e0bcf7aa239-0
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:15.320
Some of that sounds obvious, but
let me explain a bit more.

4ba0c4b5-9573-4e54-a6a6-6a0125aea8bd-0
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.160
Why are we doing the work that
we're doing?

6aeeb9f1-7988-4c46-8efd-2ed6d0923411-0
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:19.920
What are our priority areas?

ee5b1aec-73f3-4dc3-ba35-bfd93ae69a40-0
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.088
And then the question that I
think is most interesting for

ee5b1aec-73f3-4dc3-ba35-bfd93ae69a40-1
00:00:24.088 --> 00:00:28.680
all my team to think through is,
how can we have the most impact

ee5b1aec-73f3-4dc3-ba35-bfd93ae69a40-2
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:32.920
using the resources that we have
in service of our mission?

40f0cf27-f222-4bb8-a47a-f9273d09c898-0
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:36.158
The mission of the foundation is
to nourish and transform the

40f0cf27-f222-4bb8-a47a-f9273d09c898-1
00:00:36.158 --> 00:00:37.800
lives of children who face
adversity.

1b8e5b11-3598-4ea1-b1a5-1f179d34654c-0
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:41.130
But there's a lot of
sub-questions which come from

1b8e5b11-3598-4ea1-b1a5-1f179d34654c-1
00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:44.504
that, bigger "how" questions.
How do we know that we're having

1b8e5b11-3598-4ea1-b1a5-1f179d34654c-2
00:00:44.504 --> 00:00:45.040
an impact?

f01a03c9-ae91-4622-9ef6-5e23883aa786-0
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:46.560
We need to measure that.

8dbd2c3c-e592-4fef-a05e-a054ecce9fa9-0
00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:51.176
What are the resources that we
have? Obviously the foundation

8dbd2c3c-e592-4fef-a05e-a054ecce9fa9-1
00:00:51.176 --> 00:00:55.037
grant money is a lot of the
resources we have, but there's

8dbd2c3c-e592-4fef-a05e-a054ecce9fa9-2
00:00:55.037 --> 00:00:57.000
also other forms of resources.

46adee89-5029-4c68-b7d7-0d8346daea81-0
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.616
What can we do beyond the check
to help our grantee partners? If

46adee89-5029-4c68-b7d7-0d8346daea81-1
00:01:01.616 --> 00:01:06.162
we can't tie the activities that
each of us are doing as a team

46adee89-5029-4c68-b7d7-0d8346daea81-2
00:01:06.162 --> 00:01:10.849
back to that question and to our
mission overall, the why and the

46adee89-5029-4c68-b7d7-0d8346daea81-3
00:01:10.849 --> 00:01:11.560
what, then

970a9643-dc93-443e-bf74-1896fcc24bb6-0
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.101
I think we're erring out of
long-term success and we're too

970a9643-dc93-443e-bf74-1896fcc24bb6-1
00:01:15.101 --> 00:01:18.880
focused on just doing what's in
our inbox and things like that.

82b3b638-b74f-433d-982a-d413e5030511-0
00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:22.698
So that's certainly how I try
and remind the team and how we

82b3b638-b74f-433d-982a-d413e5030511-1
00:01:22.698 --> 00:01:23.800
set our objectives.

e5fa4664-2deb-4b30-aeb0-e45b2b808baf-0
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.920
And I'm really happy to say so
far we're, we're seven people,

e5fa4664-2deb-4b30-aeb0-e45b2b808baf-1
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.700
we are quite small, but we're
really focused on that question,

e5fa4664-2deb-4b30-aeb0-e45b2b808baf-2
00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:33.920
I think, and it's going really
well.
