Today is a momentous day for Realized Worth and we are honored to share it with you, the clients, partners, and friends who have made it possible to achieve this milestone. After many, many months (following many, many years) of direct client work, focus groups, interviews, listening sessions, user tests, content creation, platform configurations, and more user tests, we are finally ready to share our creation with the world. Introducing: Social REV!
Social REV is a one-stop-shop that provides hundreds of practical resources, a real and rich network, and on-demand advisory services to help accelerate and elevate you and your social impact work. It is Realized Worth’s effort to make our 15 years of experience and expertise more accessible to small budgets, under-resourced teams, motivated professionals, and programs who have grown beyond the need for project-based consulting.
But how do you know if Social REV is for you?
As many of you know, 15 years in the field gives you time to develop authentic relationships with people who will tell you the truth – and we are grateful for the many authentic relationships we’re honored to call our own.
So, as much as the team at Realized Worth thinks the value of Social REV couldn’t be clearer, we can’t see what we can’t see. Thanks to those of you who said, “I think this is supposed to be for me, but I can’t quite see the connection,” we took time to think through almost everyone in the field with whom we have a personal relationship.
And yes, if you think that might be you, it probably is.
We thought about what we know about you, why we respect you, the barriers you face, and how Social REV is intended to benefit you. While we may have missed a nuance or two, we hope you’ll find resonance in the personality types outlined below.
Problem-Solver
You’re willing to do the research, seek out answers, learn the ropes, and you’ll even do all the work yourself – but you won’t waste your time if, for one reason or another, it’s impossible to win. You’re happy to ask for help when necessary, but you understand the value of taking the initiative and you want to get it right. Read the full description below.
Collaborator
A best-case scenario for you is to have access to an inspired group of people who care like you do and a cadre of dynamic resources that align with your values. But you don’t have time or patience for another Google search or a digital disaster of a resource library – you only have time for real connection, real value, real inspiration.

In an ideal world, you would coach your rising stars every step of the way. You would walk beside them, provide thoughtful feedback, and make sure they have what they need to get the job done. But, in reality, you’re busier than you probably should be. Your plate is full, your capacity is thin, and honestly, you could use a coach, too! Read the full description below.
Problem-Solver
For as long as you can remember, you’ve enjoyed solving puzzles, making plans, and bringing order to chaos. People appreciate your ability to anticipate what’s needed and to deliver on time with a smile on your face. But when the goal is unclear? Or someone moves the target? Nope. You’re willing to do the research, seek out answers, learn the ropes, and you’ll even do all the work yourself – but you won’t waste your time if, for one reason or another, it’s impossible to get it right.
And the thing is, you know you weren’t hired to pile onto your manager’s already-full plate. In fact, it drives you a little crazy when you see others asking for things they should be able to figure out themselves. You’re happy to ask for help when necessary, but you understand the value of taking the initiative. If your boss (or hey, even your partner!) really wanted to speak your love language, they would gift you with premium-level tools, access to the highest quality information, and total clarity on the final objective – and then? Leave you to it. That’s all it takes for you to win – every time.
Social REV’s Backstage Pass doesn’t hand-hold you, it doesn’t give you a project-specific plan or a full-time consultant, but it does give you the confidence that you’re reading the right research, following the right people, and learning exactly what you need to know to do your job well. With Backstage, you won’t waste your time starting from scratch or wondering if you’re doing it right – you’ll start with beautiful templates, clear instructions, and a steady target. Plus, you won’t have to ask your manager for help when you feel unclear – you’ll receive an orientation to give you the lay of the land and you’ll always have access to a dynamic discussion forum with industry peers.
Collaborator
You’ve had big goals for a long time. You love people, you love connection, you love knowing you’re growing. A few weeks of stagnation – let alone a few months – is enough to go searching for new career pathways. But personal growth for you means the people around you grow, too. You like to have resources ready at all times – great articles, inspiring TED talks, interesting podcasts – to benefit the people on your team, at your company, and in your circles. This way of learning, growing, giving, and connecting is a clear expression of your values.
The problem is, this desire to grow often leaves you pushing a little too hard, thinking a little too much, and working a little too long. Many times, you’re not entirely the person you want to be for yourself, not to mention others. A best-case scenario for you is to have access to an inspired group of people who care like you do and a cadre of dynamic resources that align with your values. But you don’t have time or patience for another Google search or a digital disaster of a resource library – you only have time for real connection, real value, real inspiration. With that? You’re positioned to become the best version of you – for yourself and for others, too.
Social REV’s All Access Pass was created for you by people who consider themselves your friends. Not everyone understands the importance of human-to-human connection, but we do, and we want to fill the industry with people like you. While the All-Access Pass doesn’t give you unlimited consulting time with our team, it does give you the best new information for you and your peers, deeper and more innovative learning for you and your team, and employee-facing training for your volunteer leaders. Plus, it connects you with like-minded professionals and brings you each year to RW’s annual event – because we want to spend more time with friends like you.

It’s important to you to empower your team. Most of your origin stories are about someone who saw the potential in you and challenged you to step up, and you want to do the same for others. It can be tough, though, because your standards are high. You know your team is capable, and you want to get out of the way, but you’re not about to risk the reputation of excellence you’ve fought so hard for. It’s not that you’re asking anyone to be perfect! You just want them to care like you care.
In an ideal world, you would coach your rising stars every step of the way. You would walk beside them, provide thoughtful feedback, and make sure they have what they need to get the job done. But in reality, you’re busier than you probably should be. Your plate is full, your capacity is spread thin, and honestly, you could use a coach, too! When it comes down to it, you’re certain all your team really needs is a clear pathway, the tools to get the job done, and access to you when they need it. That way, they’re empowered with autonomy while you’re free to hone the vision and lead the way there – exactly what you wanted all along.
Social REV’s All Access VIP Pass might be for you – and you may want to grab a second one to truly empower your right-hand person. The VIP Pass is your succession plan, your future pathway, the way you drive your career to the next level and bring your team along. Let the RW team be your Social Impact coach with ad-hoc, unlimited consulting while you hand off tools to your team. Watch your team competently put together plans while you set the direction. And enjoy remembering your why at the annual VIP-only gala, where people who understand you gather to have the conversations you can’t have anywhere else.
