The other day as I was putting new strings on my guitar, something interesting happened. As the sixth and final string slid up into tune, the other strings came alive; it’s a fairly normal occurrence called sympathetic resonance, and it made me think of the successful marketing teams that I’ve led or been on — those times when the team and marketing channels were working together in harmony, and the brand and product were resonating with consumers.
Payroll compliance is a cornerstone of business success, yet for small and midsize businesses, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of federal, state, and local regulations.

If you don’t have a technology or legal background, where do you start?

It’s no longer good enough to be in business for yourself alone — if it ever was in the first place. Corporate social responsibility is more important than it’s ever been, and consumers — especially younger consumers< — are much more cognizant of a corporation’s purpose than they’ve ever been. But don’t confuse the idea of corporate social responsibility with the idea of purpose.
Planned Giving is a steadily growing area of focus for nonprofit fundraisers. Recent studies show that 33% of Americans are willing to consider making a bequest to a nonprofit organization, but only 5.3% of those over 50 have actually committed to doing so.

The shift to digital giving is a rising and considerable trend.
You likely have noticed the sea change in the market’s demand for brands to reinvent how they engage with customers. It’s the mandate to embrace Brand Citizenship. Which means “doing good.” Doing good for customers, employees, local communities, and the planet overall. “People want the companies they do business with not only to ‘do good’ and make the world a better place, but also to advocate on their behalf and make them feel like they are part of a larger community or grander mission,” explai
Sales are a puzzle game and even top sale champions are daily facing challenges of reaching out to potential customers, developing business cases, convincing different stakeholders, and closing deals.

If you are new to managing, or if you are struggling with a management dilemma, ask for help. There is no shame in asking for help. Seek the guidance of a colleague at work. Reach out to a mentor at or away from work. Turn to an online resource. Consult a book on managing. Whatever you do, don't sit back and do nothing. Managing even one employee can be challenging.
Large events, like the currently happening TNW conference, are crawling with people of different expertise and professions. What everyone seems to have in common, besides a love of tech, is the basic fact that we all do better with a good piece of solid advice, every once in a while. TNW asked six attendees about the best advice they’ve received to help their personal or professional life: “Don’t take life too seriously and keep having fun.
To approach the topic of data health at nonprofits, I like to start by talking about something that isn’t data (or at least doesn’t seem like it is). Imagine you’re hosting a big offline event, like your organization’s annual fundraiser. It’s likely your big fundraising event includes long-time donors and folks who may donate for the time at the event, board members and other community leaders, your staff and volunteers, and lots of supporters.

posted by Cierra Hughes Class 12 Public Ally. As my senior year of college approached, I became very aware of the fact that I would not have the stamina to continue pursuing my education immediately after completing my bachelors.

As day two of TNW Conference begins to wind down, the editorial team took it upon itself to badger some (un)lucky event attendees. We wanted to talk about the types of things everyone experiences, but few want to relive. Today we asked the TNW faithful about their worst career-related f**k-ups… and we want details. If you’re feeling left out, or just want to join in on the fun, please leave your story in the comments below (or on Facebook).
“It’s not me. It’s you.” . No, it’s not a bad breakup. In fact, it’s just the opposite – the beginning of a great relationship. . When recruiting a new volunteer to your organization, it should begin just like that great first or second date.
