As part of the workshops that I deliver based on the Happy Healthy Nonprofit , one of my most popular is how to avoid collaborative overload in the nonprofit workplace.

These three things not only cause a lot of stress and can lead to burnout, but also end up costing a lot of money in wasted time and lost productivity.

Everyone wants new donors, right? So how do you get them? Bottom line: gifts are the result of effective engagement. The fantasy of finding rich strangers we can lure into giving generously to our cause is seductive and tempting.

Two-thirds of Americans get at least some of their news on social media and those platforms prioritize video content because it commands attention.
