A proposito di questo titolo

As nonprofit learning and development leaders, we want a seat at the table. We want to be viewed as true business partners who can help solve problems. We want to create meaningful learning solutions that fit in the flow of work and yield real results for the organization and for the staff.

That's why in this podcast, we will not only explore instructional design and leadership development best practices, but we will also explore change management, belonging, and influence - helping you build the case for the solutions your organization needs so you can show up confidently in conversations with other senior leaders, subject matter experts, staff, and partners.

If we haven't met yet, I'm Heather, and I’ve been in your shoes. I'm a learning and development consultant and the founder and principal consultant at Skill Masters Market. Before starting Skill Masters Market, I worked for a large national nonprofit where I led learning and development leadership initiatives.

I know what it’s like to need to develop your staff quickly and effectively, and to build the relationships and cut through the organizational layers to be successful. With an eye for the larger strategy and the creative design process, I've created hundreds of learning experiences - in-person, self-paced, and virtual classroom - and have worked with dozens of leaders and their staff to help them achieve their organization’s professional development goals.

So if you're ready to bust through the barriers and start creating behavior change in your nonprofit, this podcast is for you. Let's dive in. It's Learning for Good.

  • Is This a Training Problem? A Quick Diagnostic Tool for Nonprofit Learning & Development Leaders

    Is This a Training Problem? A Quick Diagnostic Tool for Nonprofit Learning & Development Leaders
    Jan 19 2026

    It can be frustrating when nonprofit leaders and other stakeholders approach us demanding training to solve a problem. However, it's important to remember that people outside of learning and development don't always know which tools are available or which one is right for each situation, so they stick to the familiar. But it's our job as nonprofit L&D pros to diagnose the problem and offer the right solution.

    That's why in this episode, I'm sharing a quick diagnostic process to help you determine whether the issue brought to you is a training problem or if another solution will work better.


    ▶️ Is This a Training Problem? A Quick Diagnostic Tool for Nonprofit Learning & Development Leaders


    ▶️ Key Points:

    0:00:00 Why we often go for training as the solution

    0:04:19 Two questions to diagnose a training problem

    0:09:46 Navigating the diagnostic and stakeholders

  • Create Environments Where People Stay, Grow, and Thrive with Julie Winkle Giulioni

    Create Environments Where People Stay, Grow, and Thrive with Julie Winkle Giulioni
    Jan 12 2026

    Nonprofit leadership development is about far more than offering training. It’s about creating an environment where people want to stay, grow, and contribute meaningfully to your mission.

    In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author and workplace growth champion Julie Winkle Giulioni, who challenges nonprofits to rethink how they approach staff development and build truly supportive cultures of learning. You’ll hear strategies for building a culture of learning in nonprofits and why effective leadership training programs for nonprofit staff require more than a single workshop.

    We explore why training alone cannot drive behavior change, how managers can become true growth partners, and the role technology (especially AI) now plays in sustaining learning.


    ▶️ Create Environments Where People Stay, Grow, and Thrive with Julie Winkle Giulioni


    ▶️ Key Points:

    00:03:24 Julie’s winding career path and early lessons in learning

    00:09:41 Why training isn’t enough to drive real change

    00:15:03 A manager’s influence on performance and growth

    00:24:34 How L&D leaders can operationalize better learning environments

    00:28:37 Bringing learning into everyday work
