Today is my birthday! To celebrate, rather than eat cake, I'm fundraising for the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network (NTEN). Please consider donating to the fundraiser with colleague Cindy Leonard. I have worked in the nonprofit sector for 35 years.

In those days, I was working with the New York Foundation for the Arts on a project called … [Read more...]
The Life Time Magic of Tidying Up Your Professional Life and LinkedIn Connections
Last year, I read Marie Kondo's "The life-changing magic of tidying up: the Japanese art of decluttering and organization" and just read her book, Spark Joy, both of which, of course, share techniques and the psychology of de-cluttering your closet and home, but the principles work for your professional life - clearing your calendar, to do list, and especially your online social network connections.

Does Your Nonprofit Organization's Culture Eat French Fries for Breakfast?
I've been working on my next book, The Happy Healthy Nonprofit, with Aliza Sherman.

We've done a deep scan of the literature on personal habit change, like Gretchen Rubin's Better Than Before and BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits and have tested their approaches on ourselves.
