Early on in my journey with UNICEF I had the opportunity to meet with a long-standing, very significant supporter of UNICEF USA alongside our CEO Michael J. Nyenhuis and I’ll be honest, some tough questions were asked. In that moment I was stupendously grateful to be in the company of the man best positioned to answer them. One of the things he said has stuck with me since and has become ever more apparent to my work today as the world's challenges continue to get larger, reach further, and become increasingly complicated. In that conversation Michael said, “we embrace the hard questions.” He elaborated on that further but the core principle behind the response was, hard questions lead us towards doing a better job, plain and simple. Two years have passed since that conversation, and I’m privileged to validate that we live that truth. We do in fact embrace the hard questions. And it does in fact lead to growth. Hard questions are one system of checks and balances in philanthropy. And in the case of that supporter, their giving is greater and more impactful than it's ever been. I may not always have the answer handy in the immediate, and the right answer may in fact still be under construction—there’s always room for better. But it’s massively refreshing to work alongside teams and leaders who embrace the hard questions and are on the hunt for answers and solutions if they’re not yet available—hard questions are everywhere. I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t fear the hard questions. The reasons not to and the resulting performance enhancements are many, you’re smart enough to piece them together—but embracing them takes courage. As someone who wasn’t always the most courageous, I’m here to say the courage is worth it.
