I've been a follower of Ditcherville by Jonathan Stark for some time now. The concept of value in a business mirrors the idea of engagement in a nonprofit organization. It's challenging to compel people to appreciate what you offer, just as it is to get them involved in supporting a nonprofit's cause. My strategy involves using inspirational stories as a driving force to foster engagement. How do you spark engagement or convey value effectively? #BusinessValue #NonprofitEngagement #igniteinspiregrow

One of the unexpected pleasures of being a mid-career professional is the opportunity to serve on boards of directors (pictured here at last week's Heartbeat International board meeting in Salt Lake City). I've enjoyed this experience so much! Serving on boards allows you to invest in missions and causes you care about, and it exposes you to a variety of more seasoned professionals in your community and across industries. Highly recommend. Here are my 3 pieces of advice for board service: (1) Be certain you're prepared to commit the time and attention required. (2) Seek to understand what the nonprofit is looking to its board to provide; and then provide exactly that. (3) Always remember that the nonprofit *staff* (and definitely not the board members) are doing the real heroic work and are in fact the experts on the organization. #service #boardmembers #nonprofits
