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.

In nonprofit Learning and Development, we depend on stakeholders to get our work done. But our stakeholders have their own priorities, so we often end up chasing, pushing, and sometimes telling ourselves that they don't value our work. In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Carson Parrish, Director of Learning and Development at Seed Company, to talk about what it takes to actually work well with the stakeholders we depend on. Collaboration starts long before the project ...
In this episode of Learning for Good, I share how to find evidence that your staff training and development is working, even when you can't prove the training caused the result. In L&D, we can get hung up on proof. We want to prove that manager development reduced turnover or that leadership training improved performance, and because we can't draw a straight line from training to organizational results, we sometimes stop looking for evidence altogether. I think we're asking the wrong ques...
How do you get your CEO to see staff development as central to your nonprofit's success rather than something that is nice to have? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Elizabeth Cushing, CEO of Playworks, to explore how a nonprofit CEO thinks about learning and development and staff training and development. In nonprofits, resources always feel finite, and staff development often loses out to more urgent priorities, even for leaders who believe deeply in their people. Howeve...
How do you get your CEO, COO, executive director, or board to see why investing in staff is not just important, it's mission critical? In this episode of Learning for Good, I break down how to get leadership buy-in for staff development in your nonprofit. The first step is to stop talking about training. Leadership already has a goal in the spotlight, and training isn't it, so pushing it into the conversation just gets you tuned out. I share how to connect a specific capability gap to t...
One of the most challenging parts of our jobs as nonprofit learning and development professionals is working with and through other people. This makes our ability to influence critical to our work. In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with leadership development consultant and relationship expert Morag Barrett to talk about how nonprofit learning and development professionals can build influence and strengthen the workplace relationships that make training initiatives succeed. ...
How do you design training that actually leads to a job, not just a certificate? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Amina Mohamed, founder and executive director of Cameras for Girls, a Canadian charity advancing gender equality in media across Africa, to talk about designing learning around the change you want to create. So many nonprofits build training programs and hope people walk away better prepared, but hoping isn't the same as knowing a program creates real employ...
In this episode of Learning for Good, I break down three practical shifts nonprofit learning designers can make to build credibility and grow their influence. Many competent learning and development professionals feel like their recommendations don't carry weight. It's frustrating to know you understand a problem and can offer a better solution, only to have that expertise go unheard. That gap usually has less to do with skill and more to do with how much evidence you've given people that you...
What do you do when the pressure at work never seems to let up? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with peak performance coach Jay Abbasi to talk about what it takes to lead under pressure and how nonprofit L&D leaders can build resilience into how they lead themselves and others. Nonprofit leaders carry a heavy load, with tight resources, shifting priorities, and a mission that never feels like it can wait. That pressure builds and shapes how people think, communicate, and ...
