October topic: Strategic Planning with Melanie Schmidt of Timpano Consulting
With so many demands on our time and so much change happening around us, it can be hard to think beyond today sometimes! Melanie Schmidt of Timpano Consulting joins us to share her expertise around strategic planning and help put us all in a long-term mindset.

Having led organizations across sectors, she knows that bold ideas are only as powerful as the ability to bring them to life. Melanie thrives on untangling complexity, challenging conventional thinking, and turning vision into meaningful progress. Her take on strategic planning? It can—and should—be fun, powerful, and productive. After all, great plans don't gather dust. They spark better decisions, align intentions with actions, and give organizations the clarity and confidence to move forward.
