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...]

Time Management for Nonprofit Social Media Professionals: What's Your Best Tip?
In the nonprofit sector, time is our most valuable resource. It can't be recycled if we squander it. Distractions are time wasters and you need to manage them not the other way around.
