このコンテンツについて

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.

  • Can Training Improve Collaboration in Nonprofits? A Practical Guide to Building Team Skills
    2025/05/26

    Employees spend 42% of their time collaborating with others. That’s almost half of their time. But are they any good at it? Or are there challenges around collaboration?

    And if there are challenges, what can we do about them?

    Most people would say collaboration is important for their work, but we're less likely to do it when it feels challenging. And when there's conflict, we're less likely to do it then, too. Can training help? That’s what we’re exploring in this episode.


    ▶️ How Training Can Improve Collaboration in Your Nonprofit


    ▶️ Key Points:

    00:58 Collaboration in the workplace

    02:02 Building a good foundation for collaboration through training

    04:43 Building collaboration skills through internal training

    05:31 Nonprofit collaboration training example

  • Being a Strategic Learning Partner & The Biggest Mistake You're Making
    2025/05/19

    What does it mean to be a good partner in Learning and Development? That’s what we’re exploring in this episode, but we’re doing it from the truest sense of the word partner.

    I think one of the biggest mistakes we make is that we focus on the actions we need to take to be a good partner. And while actions are important, I don't want a list of actions today. I want us to look at the attributes or the characteristics of being a good partner.


    ▶️ Being a Strategic Learning Partner & The Biggest Mistake You're Making


    ▶️ Key Points:

    00:58 The importance of being a good partner

    04:45 The characteristics of being a good partner

    07:05 Our goal in L&D
