We’ve been telling nonprofit communicators for a long time to visually map out their workflows. A visual map of the steps and processes of your work can really help others understand what it is you do and what it is you need them to do. It can also communicate norms for numbers of drafts, review times, deadlines, and other potential bottlenecks that could be making you silently scream every day slowing you down at work.

Are you still sending all your donors the same appeal and thank you letters? In these letters, you never thank a donor for their past support or acknowledge they’re a monthly donor. If that’s not bad enough, many of these letters use vague and impersonal language and even worse, jargon. Since the pandemic started, some nonprofits have done better and have created more nuanced, personal communication.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

It took me 16 contacts over a 12-month period to get a visit scheduled with one couple. They then went on to give over $100,000. This isn’t that out of the ordinary. I frequently encounter people who think that if they have contacted someone 2-4 times without a response, they should take them off the list. Are you kidding me?

The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best.
