Our Story and People

The Leap of Reason Ambassadors Community is a private community of nonprofit thought leaders, leader practitioners, forward-looking funders, policymakers, and instigators who believe that mission and performance are inextricably linked.

Our audacious vision is to trigger a vital core of the social sector to embrace the importance of high performance.

We share the focus and purpose to inspire, support, and convince nonprofit and public sector leaders (and their stakeholders) to build great organizations for greater societal impact and to increase the expectation and adoption of high performance as the path to that end.

In this trusted place, members value and protect the credibility of the community as a whole.

Our guiding principles provide the roadmap for our journey.

PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN
Mission and performance are inextricably linked. High performance is an essential prerequisite to deliver meaningful and lasting results for the people and causes we serve, and ensure a more just and sustainable world.

RELENTLESS
High performance is a long, obstacle-filled journey. Direction and continuous improvement are more important than distance.

POWER OF COMMUNITY
Changing minds and attitudes toward high performance starts with the doers and believers—and expands to those who are pre-disposed or open.

RELATIONSHIPS
Trusted relationships are the essential connective tissue of community.

OPEN MINDS
How we engage is as important as what we produce—we intentionally seek diverse perspectives and expertise and value an open and transparent environment, in which we share successes, challenges, and obstacles with candor.

RESPECT
We respect present and past leaders who have worked tirelessly to advance high performance within their organizations and throughout the social and public sectors; we seek collaboration, not competition.
