Relational Brain Skills for Growing

Emotional Capacity to Have Joy:

Interview with Chris Coursey

Learning practical relational skills helps us recover when things go wrong, keep relationships bigger than problems and stay on course. The foundational skill is learning to live relationally with our brain's relational circuit engaged where we reflect our values rather than slip into "enemy mode" where people become problems to fix and we want to win rather than keep relationships intact. Chris Coursey is an ordained minister, pastoral counselor, published author, curriculum designer, and international speaker.

Networks for Social Impact About How Organization Can Work Together to Move the Needle on Social Issues With Michelle Shumate

When governments, nonprofits, and businesses come together as a “network” to address the most pressing social issues of the day, they can more easily overcome challenges related to social issue analysis, network governance, securing and managing funding, dealing with power and conflict, managing change, and utilizing data. In Networks for Social Impact, Dr. Shumate and Dr. Cooper depict when and how to use networks for social impact to improve issues related to educational outcomes, mental health and wellness, gender-based violence, climate change, senior and veteran care, and more, by providing a new framework for organizations to more seamlessly work together.

How leaders can make social impact networks more effective
The most common management dilemmas that network leaders face
Avoiding social impact dead ends
Designing networks to address different types of social issues
How nonprofits, businesses, and governments successfully collaborate on serious social problems.

Michelle Shumate is the founding director of Network for Nonprofit and Social Impact (NNSI). NNSI is a research lab dedicated to answering the question: How can nonprofit networks be rewired for maximum social impact? In addition, she is a Professor in Communication Studies and Associate Faculty at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University.

Her research focuses on how to design inter-organizational networks to make the most social impact. The National Science Foundation recognized her research with a CAREER award. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Army Research Office. She is the author of the forthcoming book, Networks for Social Impact (Oxford University Press). Nonprofit Quarterly, Stanford Social Innovation, and the Conference board have featured her work.

What Can LinkedIn Do for Nonprofits?

Interview with LinkedIn Specialist, Carol Kaemmerer

LinkedIn is THE place where business professionals such as your prospective Board members, volunteers, and donors can be found -- so it behooves every nonprofit leader to have a solid presence there as well. Having a company page for the nonprofit is important too, because it gives your nonprofit added credibility and helps staff, Board members, and volunteers proudly list their affiliation with the organization. And then, there is the opportunity to share your nonprofit's photos and stories of beneficiaries online to share the message with people who don't spend their time on Facebook. It's free to use and is a powerful tool. Join this session to hear how you can leverage this powerful business tool for your nonprofit.

Carol Kaemmerer is an internationally recognized personal branding expert, professional speaker, and author of the award-winning book LinkedIn for the Savvy Executive, now available in its Second Edition. Prior to her focus on LinkedIn and personal branding, she was a marketing communications consultant for 20 years with a Fortune 500 medical device company.

Since 2011, Carol has focused her communications expertise on helping C-suite executives and senior leaders use LinkedIn powerfully, creating positioning and messaging that reflects their business passion with authenticity. Pairing her flair for communicating with her deep knowledge of the ever-changing LinkedIn platform, she optimizes her clients’ ability to be found on this essential social medium to increase their visibility and influence, attract high-performing talent and steer their careers.

As a professional member of the National Speakers Association, Certified Virtual Presenter, and Advisor to the C-Suite Network, Carol is a popular speaker and corporate trainer.

Making Grant Management Practical Dec 21, 2021

Making Grant Management Practical with Grant and Contract Management Expert Ansley Fender

Grant management costs an average of 20% of grant funding, which means that a pretty significant amount of funding is going to overhead rather than programs and services. A lot of nonprofits end up having to hire more people just to manage their grants, which further cuts into the funding. This is crazy considering how much of a public good nonprofits provide to society. COVID, for example, highlighted the fact that when the private sector is shutting down and the public sector can't move fast enough, the nonprofit sector steps it up. Because grant management software like Blackbaud is so expensive, a lot of grant managers have tried to force accounting software like Quickbooks to do grant management, which it was never intended to do. The result is messy books that are moderately ok for grant management but terrible for internal and Board management. The other option is spreadsheets, which require so much additional work and are shockingly easy to break. Atlas' mission is to support the mission of grant-funded and grant-seeking nonprofits by streamlining and automating their grant management so they can recapture the 20% lost to traditional grant management. We exist because they do.

Ansley Fender's entrepreneurial journey began when she was pregnant with her second child. Despite being at a critical juncture in her life, she took a leap of faith and quit her job to start her own business. The concept for Atlas was born while Ansley was doing bookkeeping for nonprofits. She saw that as much as 30% of grant funding was going into administrative costs. Not only that, but the assistants handling those duties were being overworked. Atlas’ software helps lighten the load by scouring databases to match funders with funding recipients. On the days that being a startup founder is especially difficult, Ansley gets inspiration from her two fearless little girls.
