Description

As nonprofit learning and development leaders, we want a seat at the table. We want to be viewed as true business partners who can help solve problems. We want to create meaningful learning solutions that fit in the flow of work and yield real results for the organization and for the staff.

That's why in this podcast, we will not only explore instructional design and leadership development best practices, but we will also explore change management, belonging, and influence - helping you build the case for the solutions your organization needs so you can show up confidently in conversations with other senior leaders, subject matter experts, staff, and partners.

If we haven't met yet, I'm Heather, and I’ve been in your shoes. I'm a learning and development consultant and the founder and principal consultant at Skill Masters Market. Before starting Skill Masters Market, I worked for a large national nonprofit where I led learning and development leadership initiatives. 

I know what it’s like to need to develop your staff quickly and effectively, and to build the relationships and cut through the organizational layers to be successful. With an eye for the larger strategy and the creative design process, I've created hundreds of learning experiences - in-person, self-paced, and virtual classroom - and have worked with dozens of leaders and their staff to help them achieve their organization’s professional development goals. 

So if you're ready to bust through the barriers and start creating behavior change in your nonprofit, this podcast is for you. Let's dive in. It's Learning for Good.

Your nonprofit can have a clear strategy and a big vision, but that doesn’t guarantee it will happen, because eventually that strategy becomes someone's job. Someone has to do something differently than they are doing it today. In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with David Chatham of Angel Oak Creative, a marketing communications agency that works exclusively with nonprofits, to talk about how to prepare your people to execute your organization's strategy. It takes m...
In learning and development, we know that you can roll out a new system, restructure a team, or announce a new strategy in your nonprofit, and still find people working the same way they always have, even with training. In this episode of Learning for Good, I break down why organizational change doesn't stick and which workplace behavior change strategies help the new way become the normal way. Training and a clear message matter, but they aren't the only things people need. Behavior changes ...
In nonprofit Learning and Development, we depend on stakeholders to get our work done. But our stakeholders have their own priorities, so we often end up chasing, pushing, and sometimes telling ourselves that they don't value our work. In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Carson Parrish, Director of Learning and Development at Seed Company, to talk about what it takes to actually work well with the stakeholders we depend on. Collaboration starts long before the project ...
In this episode of Learning for Good, I share how to find evidence that your staff training and development is working, even when you can't prove the training caused the result. In L&D, we can get hung up on proof. We want to prove that manager development reduced turnover or that leadership training improved performance, and because we can't draw a straight line from training to organizational results, we sometimes stop looking for evidence altogether. I think we're asking the wrong ques...
How do you get your CEO to see staff development as central to your nonprofit's success rather than something that is nice to have? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Elizabeth Cushing, CEO of Playworks, to explore how a nonprofit CEO thinks about learning and development and staff training and development. In nonprofits, resources always feel finite, and staff development often loses out to more urgent priorities, even for leaders who believe deeply in their people. Howeve...
