How to Chase Your Training Stakeholders without Looking Desperate with Carson Parrish
Q: How do you approach it when a stakeholder wants or needs results from learning but they aren't willing to slow down or engage with you in a way that allows you to give them those results?

Why Learning Is Central to Your Nonprofit's Success and Sustainability with Playworks CEO Elizabeth Cushing
Q: Why do you believe staff development deserves to compete for those resources rather than being treated as a nice to have?
Cushing says staff development helps Playworks provide high-quality, consistent service to school and community partners, makes better use of a workforce that accounts for over 80 percent of expenses, and supports retention. She says mission achievement should be the central business case.
Why Learning Is Central to Your Nonprofit's Success and Sustainability with Playworks CEO Elizabeth Cushing
