HOT Free Online Training for Nonprofits

-

While my brain is on a constant, frenetic overload from all the information on the web, I have to say, I am a glutton for learning more!  I want to sort through the not-so-hot things to get to the HOT stuff.  Efficiency is key in this process of gathering good information on the web and not wasting time on the less than “hot” items.

What's hot?  Hot is what is up-to-date or the newest trend. In this case free, quality, curent, relevant information for nonprofits.

There are some  some great free webinars and online trainings that various organizations offer on nonprofit management topics.  This is an efficient way to continue your professional development.  My biggest frustration is that I miss too many of them!  So, we have to know where to find the hot stuff and get on their email list, follow them on Twitter, or whatever works for you to stay connected.

Below I have shared several of my favorite places for good quality, free online training on various nonprofit topics including fundraising, use of social media, volunteer engagement, among others.  Many of these also have tools and resources you can download in addition to the webinars. Check them out.

Have fun. Share these opportunities with others. Be part of becoming a more knowledgeable and integrated sector!

·         Network For Good Great fundraising topics
 
·         Volunteer Match Great, modern volunteer engagement topics 

·         Constant Contact  Ultimately they are selling their product (email marketing tool)  but they have really good info on social media and online marketing.  And their product is good and inexpensive. 

·         Nonprofit Tech 2.0  Social media tips, free tools for nonprofits and more  

·         Tech Soup Great tech info and "how to's" about software  

·         SocialBrite  Social media for nonprofits  

 
Enjoy!  Let me know what you have learned!

Happy Feet

“Those shoes are cute! They look comfortable too!”  I hear that often. Well, it is not a coincidence. We all work hard. We need to be comfortable and like how we look. Happy feet make for a much better day. Check out my recommendations -- this is my Valentine to you. After getting plantar fasciitis (foot pain issues) a few years ago, my podiatrist suggested better shoes. He twisted the shoe I was wearing like ringing out a wet rag to demonstrate the lack of support. It was painful (literally and figuratively),but I went home and started to throw out a closet full of shoes. Then started on the hunt for cute and comfortable options. Not an easy combo to find! With some trial and error I found a few brands that I really like (shared below).  How to Choose Shoes for Common Foot Problems Here’s to happy feet!

I LOVE working from home! I miss the office… but my dog will be lonely! My kids are still home - how can I balance this? I can do all of my work easily from home! I need the office environment to keep me focused. I’ve heard all of these and more. We all have feelings around this transition. There is definitely an element of stress in returning to the office, as well as excitement. For the sake of camaraderie, team spirit, Zoom fatigue and that real life interaction makes a difference, we will likely need to be in the office at least some of the time. At the same time following the pandemic, many organizations are becoming more comfortable with their teams working from home and many employees like that arrangement. Given this, many of us will see a hybrid work schedule in our futures, if not already.  A few things to consider for your team with a hybrid work schedule: Communication - Be explicit about the policies and options for your team. Clarify about shared desk/office space, e...
