How It’s Going. How It Began.
Next Stage’s September 12, 2023 Vlog Post Announcing Mission Mappers’ Launch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEPTEkwttBI
How It’s Going.
My clients and I spend a lot of time creating roadmaps to move from where they are to where they want to go. As we reach each milestone, it’s easy to jump right into the next one without pausing to reflect on how far we’ve come and to take a minute to celebrate.
I was reminded of the importance of this as I ran across a vlog that my previous employer, Next Stage, was kind enough to suggest, record with me and publish to announce Mission Mappers in 2023.
Enjoy this fun conversation I had with Josh Jacobson, CEO, and Janet Ervin, former CMO, to mark the beginning of my Mission Mappers journey.
How does your team pause to reflect and celebrate how far you’ve come?
How It Began.

When our team works on strategic planning projects we almost always get asked the same question at the end. “How can we ensure our team is implementing this plan with energy and processes that work for the long haul?” It’s a challenge that every nonprofit and business leader faces at some point. They want to spend time on strategy, but it is hard to break ambitious goals into implementation processes that set them up for success.
For the last three years, Next Stage’s Chief Operating Officer, Chrissy Davis, has solved these challenges for our team. And beginning in October 2023, Chrissy is launching Mission Mappers - her own business that will help nonprofits, small to medium-sized businesses and startups navigate their own courses.
Mission Mappers will offer Fractional Leadership services that are custom-designed to help organizations solve problems and meet their goals as they work to implement strategic initiatives.
Next Stage is thrilled for Chrissy and her new endeavor. There is no doubt that we are where we are because of Chrissy’s leadership and hard work. Her expertise helped us build a business that is stronger and more resilient than it was when she arrived.
We hope that many of you will also benefit from her work. (We plan to benefit for a long time to come because we already signed on as her client!)
