The Nonprofit Show

“The mission is not enough to motivate people to come to work.” Cohosts Julia Patrick and Wendy F. Adams sit down with powerhouse guest Yany San Luis, CEO and founder of The Win Woman, to discuss how to build a nonprofit team that drives lasting impact. Yany teaches us the nuances of effective team development, highlighting the importance of both structure and sustainability. She emphasizes that while passion ignites a mission, it is not enough to sustain an organization in the long run.

Yany’s expertise centers on strategic growth, revenue generation, and providing outsourced development solutions for nonprofits looking to bolster fundraising and impact reporting. Throughout the conversation, she provides in detail how investing in the right people, processes, and tools creates a foundation for success—even in a sector that often struggles to attract and retain top talent. By referencing alarming statistics such as the average 16-month tenure of development officers, Yany urges leaders to rethink how they onboard, engage, and nurture their teams. She offers. . . “Loyalty is a two-way street, so we have to co-create a career experience for employees.”

Far from a dry strategic session, this lively exchange brims with very practical ideas for NPO’s seeking to maximize each staff member’s potential. From microlearning opportunities and more frequent check-ins to reimagining board and funder involvement, Yany’s approach challenges nonprofits to break old habits and embrace a collaborative mindset.
