5 "super skills" you need!

Have you been thinking about the various challenges of the evolving workplace? According  to an article I recently read on Fast Company's website, "The workplace of today and the future looks quite different due to technology, the economy, the environment, and politics, according to the Institute for the Future (IFTF), a not-for-profit think tank that helps organizations plan for the future." Here is a list of the 5 skills:

1. Personal Brand

2. Digital Fluency

3. A Tribe

4. Make Sense of Complexity

5. Resilience

The article, although brief, started me down the path of having a larger conversation with workers of all size, including those individuals just starting in their careers as well as those who are moving into more senior roles.

This list of five traits offers us great qualities indeed for building Fundraising Savy!

Avoiding Burnout / 5 steps

This article speaks volumes about what we can do whether working exclusively as #entrepreneurs , #fundraising professionals, or #volunteers. I carefully considered the 35 and arrived at a 5 step summary that quotes the language of the 35 (except where I added my own): 1. Define what is important to you (and prioritize what really matters). 2. Establish boundaries. 3. Sleep. 4. Stay active. 5. Find a hobby that let's you unplug. I challenge you - in a friendly non-violent way - to read the article and identify your list of five steps!
