One Small Step: What's Your Twitter Elevator Speech?

April 29, 2011 Filed Under: Digital Strategy Tagged With: elevator pitch, twitter

It's really important to fill out the information in your Twitter profile especially the  "Bio" field  where you sum up in a few words who you are and make it sound interesting.    It's like an elevator speech.  It grabs attention and says a lot in a few words.  It should leave your audience wanting more, while answering the essential questions about your organization.  A great place to start your elevator speech is to adapt your marketing boilerplate.

How Mature Is Your Nonprofit's Social Media Practice?

April 28, 2011 Filed Under: Instructional Design, Networked Nonprofit, Social Media Policy

In our book, Networked Nonprofit, we describe the principles for becoming a networked nonprofit - a nonprofit that is simple, agile, transparent, and works more like a network than an isolated fortress.   Networked nonprofits are experts at using new media (social media, mobile, and other emerging technologies) to spread their missions, design and scale programs, communicate with stakeholders, or inspire behavior change.   Their impact is to make the world a better place.

April 26, 2011 Filed Under: Digital Strategy, Instructional Design

Last week,  I faciltated a mini-workshop at the Silicon Valley/Peninsula Nonprofit Leadership Forum hosted by Compasspoint.  I've had the pleasure of working closely with Compasspoint as part of my continuing work as Visiting Scholar at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.   I enjoy it because I get double dose:   great ideas about the integration of technology with leadership, training, and capacity building AND the content. The lunchtime conversation was with Emmett D. Carson, Ph.D., CEO … [Read more...] about Social Media and Mobile for Real Time Professional Learning at Conferences

What's Your Calling?

April 24, 2011 Filed Under: Instructional Design

At SXSW and facilitating a panel called  A Global Discussion About Networked Nonprofits and Free Agents,  I introduced myself with this photo of me and Lena, the master trainer from Yemen for the E-Mediat Project.   The photo shows us modeling "shoulder to shoulder" learning.  Told the room that nonprofit capacity building was my calling. Later,  Michael Hoffman, who was in the audience,  introduced me to his friends at "The Calling" and they suggested  I write a guest post about anything I'm … [Read more...] about What's Your Calling?
