Elevate Your Event

Welcome back to another episode of Elevate Your Event! Today, we’re thrilled to have Jay Strear in the studio—a nonprofit veteran with over 30 years of experience. Jay’s here to share his journey from leading a statewide nonprofit to becoming an EOS implementer. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your big ideas into actionable steps, this episode is for you.

We’ll dive into the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and how it can help nonprofits like yours stay focused and get results. Forget about those strategic plans that end up collecting dust—Jay explains how to keep your team on track, day by day, and quarter by quarter. We also chat about the importance of dynamic strategic planning and how to stop your team from constantly “putting out fires” so you can actually move forward.

Whether you’re a nonprofit leader or just looking for ways to streamline your operations, this conversation is packed with practical advice and real-world examples to help you make a bigger impact.
