Nonprofit Career Coaching and Mentoring for Social Impact The purpose of this workshop is to accelerate career growth for nonprofit professionals and career changers. Key topics include the biggest mistake most people make when interviewing with nonprofits; hot careers and trends in the nonprofit sector; and three secret strategies to accelerating your nonprofit career. Getting Started with Mobile Outreach It's easier that you might think to broadcast text messages to your supporters' cell phones, to ask them to respond to a quick question, or even to ask them to donate right through their phone. Mobile applications – programs that run on your constituent’s iPhone or other phone -- can also be a useful tool in a nonprofit communicator’s toolbox. Talk through the principles, software packages and best practices that can help. Knowing the Essentials Seminar This is an in-depth seminar dedicated to understanding, marketing and soliciting major and planned gifts to increase income for your organization. Getting Started with Online Conferencing What better way to learn about online seminar (webinar) tools than via an online seminar? Talk about the features that can help you conduct meetings or training over the Web – for instance, desktop sharing, slide shows, chat functionality, polls, voice conferencing and more – and then look at some of the free and affordable options, such as Glance, DimDim, Yugma, GoToMeeting, ReadyTalk and Adobe Connect.

A New Approach to Basic Communications: Five Essential Tools Your Nonprofit Must Have Social change groups don’t have a minute to waste or a penny to spare. That’s why all our communications have to be efficient, affordable and – most of all – effective. This workshop begins with asking what you want your constituencies to do, then getting them to do it. Effective Supervision Effective supervision contributes directly to organizational mission effectiveness. It is critical to maintaining a productive staff in the face of shifting and competing priorities. Strong supervision creates a culture of mutual respect in which employees and supervisors communicate regularly and clearly about job-related expectations, tasks and overall performance.
