The Failure Bow: How To Stop the Blame and Shame Game and Start Learning
When you read this post, I'll be on a plane to the facilitate the opening plenary at the Legal Services TIG Conference on Wednesday, Jan. 16th. One of my key themes for the year is to look at failure and learning - and will also have a chance to dive into a conversation at the upcoming COF Conference with colleague Peter Sims, Author of Little Bets and founder of BLKSHP. His book has a great summary of the research out there on what is failure. One idea particularly stuck me with -- that … [Read more...]

Note from Beth: By the time you read this post, I will be in the USA from doing a training in Tunisia for NGOs and trainers who will deliver training to women entrepreneurs as part of the WES program and also improve their NGO's use of social media.

How To Use Negative Feedback on Facebook To Improve Your Content Strategy
Facebook recently made a change to the EdgeRank Algorithm that increased the importance of Negative Feedback. Negative feedback on Facebook is when a user will hide, hide-all or unlike your content. Hiding content is like deleting an email without reading it or hitting the spam button.. Hiding-all is the equivalent of unsubscribing, and unliking closes the relationship entirely. In Facebook’s reconfigured algorithm, content that has negative feedback from some users can cause it to be … [Read more...]

Getting Started Again (After A Break)
That's Hank, a dog that belongs to Ryann Miller from Care2 Network. He's one of many four-legged and fine feathered fans of "Measuring the Networked Nonprofit." I had the honor of doing a Care2 webinar in December which was one of over 40 book talks, presentations, webinars, and workshops to launch the book. The book continues to be in the top nonprofit books at Amazon. But by holiday season, I needed a break and took one. It was a time to focus on family and health (I had my … [Read more...]
Kids and Philanthropy: Teaching Your Children To Be Charitable
I was thrilled to be profiled in Fast Company's Generosity Series this week. Generosity is baked into my DNA and I can’t help it.

Now a parent with … [Read more...]
