May 12, 2017 Filed Under: Facilitation, Philanthropy

A cause-centered community is a group of people who share a common passion for a cause.   They could be a group of people who support a particular nonprofit's social change agenda or a group of people from different organizations united around a common challenge, idea, or cause.

May 26, 2015 Filed Under: Facilitation

Last week, Andrea Kihlstedt and I did a reprise of our Guidestar webinar, "Healthy and Productive Meetings" as a learning session for Guidestar staff.     Guidestar has multiple office locations, so this session was done as a virtual meeting using a platform and apps that offered features like chat, desktop sharing, polling, white board, sticky notes, and audio and video conferencing.   As trainers,  Andrea and I both know the value of "modeling the model," so we wanted to use and model best … [Read more...] about The Art of Facilitating Virtual Meetings with Sticky Notes
