You would think after nearly 50 years of volunteering and working with nonprofits that asking for donations would get easier.

After all, I’m not asking for the money for myself.

It hasn’t.

I listen, read and connect to various resources all year long. I stretch to choose materials that expand my appreciation of experiences and points of view that are different from mine. 

Here are my top recommendations from 2024 for resources I will keep returning to for inspiration.

Dale Singer was the Executive Director of the Renal Physician's Association (RPA) from 1995 through 2022. RPA empowers nephrology professionals through leadership development and mentorship, regulatory and legislative advocacy, and development and promotion of best business and care delivery practices. During her 27-year career at RPA, she positively changed the face of the organization by always looking for gifts and opportunities in every circumstance. Best-selling author Shirzad Chamine, in his book Positive Intelligence (2011), calls this approach the Sage Perspective. While it seems to have come naturally to Dale, she never stopped learning or pushing herself past her comfort zone.

I was about 12. It was nearly my turn to perform at the piano recital when I could not remember the first few notes of my piece. I told my piano teacher I forgot and asked if he would tell me. I have a memory of him saying no, that I would figure it out, and I would be fine.
