Join Dr. Sheryl White, Dr. Undraye Howard, and Dr. Loretta Howard—The People's Doctors—for an unfiltered year-in-review that confronts the leadership crises no one wants to discuss. Now, the three hosts turn the microscope on themselves and each other, asking the uncomfortable questions that emerged from the 2025 episodes of Leadership Matters.

The People's Doctors confront 2025's hardest leadership truths: Why 70% of nonprofits lack succession plans, what "keeping the doors open" really costs, and which crisis innovations will actually stick. Dr. Sheryl White, Dr. Undraye Howard, and Dr. Loretta Howard challenge each other—and you—to face what the nonprofit sector has been avoiding. Your 2026 readiness starts here.

Are today's constraints forcing the innovation nonprofits should have embraced years ago? Crisis pushed obvious changes—digital delivery, remote work, cross-sector partnerships—that the "old normal" resisted. Now organizations report that resource limitations actually revealed more effective operating models.

This isn't just crisis management anymore. While navigating workforce shortages and funding volatility, nonprofit leaders are questioning fundamental assumptions and reimagining their organizations entirely. Is this Nonprofit 3.0—where executives who mastered crisis response now apply those lessons to intentional transformation?

The critical question: Can nonprofits sustain and scale innovations born from necessity, or will they revert to old patterns? The answer determines whether this moment becomes a true sector transformation or just another survival story. Just exactly how does the nonprofit define success?
