Summer planning

 Sunshine and happiness!
It's the first full day of summer!  

For many organizations, it's time to step back... celebrate... ponder... and set plans for the future. Here's a little planning jewel, courtesy of the inimitable Mr. Rogers.  

"You rarely have time for everything you want in life, so you need to make choices.  And hopefully your choices come from a deep sense of who you are."

What a great concept on which to build your summer planning sessions.  

What is your purpose? What's the most important work you do? Is there something you do that no longer fits with your purpose... that could leave room and resources for more targeted efforts?  

How can you bring even more of your organization's specialness into the world? And ultimately, how can you bring more people along on your journey? 

You know the answer: By having focus and being who you are.

In honor of Mr. Rogers' contribution to planning brilliance, check out this fun retro remix gone viral.  Smiles guaranteed!
