Life, Leadership and the working world

This space will include irregular postings on life, leadership and management, from both the work world and life at home, with a particular focus on the for-profit and charitable worlds.  My plan is to explore both my own insights and experiences, and engage readers.  I'm not a professional writer, so my plan is to be short, honest and offer my observations for comment and conversation.  Topics will include:

• Myths about the transition from for-profit to charity work
• Truths about the transition from for-profit to charity work
• Why ties?
• Networking
• Asking for donations
• Diversity: thought as the final frontier
• Leadership and Management
• Different strokes for different folks
• Fundraisers versus Sales people
• Which skills transfer: Sales people to Fundraisers
• NIMBY: the unspoken Charitable barrier
• What happened to Community?
• The Charitable sector: Sustainable?
• For profit models in the Charitable world - an imperfect fit
• Web 2.0 for fundraising: bluster or real winds of change?
• What advocacy really means

I look forward to your thoughts on further topics and our conversations...
