    Margaret Manning's video interview with John Tarnow on digital tools to use for networking and starting businesses. (17 minutes) shocked at # of people who do not have photos on social media profile including LinkedIn "Transparency is new privacy" "Linkedin is great tool for our generation, Facebook more social, need to fill in LinkedIn profiles to give employers/clients sense of compatibility, affinities" It is also connecting to people they know. How important is blogging? A-It's a process to find what your point of view is. Part of reinvention process is figuring out what we have to say, that others can learn from. Manning did a list of 60 things for younger women to know Being of service to community is key. Subscribe to news feeds, Google alerts on handful of topics that relate to this interest. Go to website, comment, engage with other people to develop your voice, your brand. Purpose of networking--to have fun, to link up with others, looking to start a business--great opportunities on Linkedin, search tools. Act locally, think globally. Define product and market--same old skills we have used forever. only difference today is scale. Twitter is way of getting message out, supporting brand. Outward platform. Social mindset is needed for starting businesses. Live in a sharing economy--software, business development, etc.

  • But what impact does this new more virtual workforce have on employee engagement and development?  That question is increasingly on the minds of leading employers, as telework moves from the fringes to the mainstream for talent-minded companies.
  • The workforce is currently in a period of significant adjustment – moving from one way of doing business to another.  While workplace technology has caught up to this new remote working style, the leadership and management practices of most institutions still need refining to support this new workforce. 
  • “elastic workplace”.[4]

  • Development:  Conscious and Culturally Competent Management
  • Companies that use this approach to pro bono engagement – placing their emerging talent in the hot seat of managing that challenge to test and develop their flexible leadership capabilities, while simultaneously delivering real value to nonprofit organizations, are earning a return on talent that far outweighs their investment in such programs. 
  • Engagement:  Loyalty and Purpose
  • n response, Common Impact has championed ”virtual skilled service” as a solution and an equalizer in this environment.  Most team-based nonprofit consulting projects can take place almost entirely remotely – particularly with the advances in video conferencing that make far-off colleagues feel closer.  When everyone on the team is engaging virtually, it removes the feeling of being the “other” that remote or flex-time employees can sometimes have.  We’ve seen, to our surprise, that our nonprofit clients gravitate towards these virtual engagements as well, allowing them to engage their increasingly remote workforces and make the most of everyone’s limited time and capacity.

    Nice blog by Danielle Holly, Common Impact, on engaging remote employees and skilled volunteers with good sources cited in the article, May 17, 2016. If everyone is remote, everyone is equal, but skilled management is still needed.

Offer legitimate solutions to tough business challenges such as value propositions. Focus on how you will address their needs first. Know their numbers. Know the industry, the business, and your own assets.
  • social sector groups speaking to businesses in terms of the nonprofits’ own missions was a major barrier.

    very interesting article by Richard Eisenberg quoting head of Sloan Center on Aging at Boston College on older workers wanting to work in workplaces where positive, helping relationships are the norm, doing meaningful work. While older workers want opportunities to learn, they are not valued in same way as younger workers building career opportunities for themselves with new skills/knowledge.
