I think I am a mission-driven growth catalyst.Transforming the nonprofit sector starts with empowering its leaders. Gratitude Network, under the leadership of Executive Director Lauren Reilly, has revolutionized nonprofit growth by offering leaders of organizations serving children a robust fellowship program. This unique accelerator equips them with tools to scale their impact globally.Gratitude Network's fellowship program combines executive coaching, a mini-MBA curriculum, and a global peer network. As Lauren explained in our interview, "Organizations that go through our program grow 3x on average after working with us. They grow revenue by almost 40% and, one year post-fellowship, serve an additional 2,300 children on average."Lauren's passion for creating systemic change is deeply rooted in her career as an educator. Early on, she recognized the inequities in education systems and sought innovative solutions. “I wanted to show students what it was like to be a CEO,” she recalled, describing her transition into the nonprofit sector. Gratitude Network provided her with the business acumen she needed to scale her ideas. Within five years, her nonprofit grew 26-fold, serving 21,000 children and collaborating with over 100 Fortune 500 companies.Now, at the helm of Gratitude Network, Lauren's vision is to amplify this impact. She aims to sustain and expand the organization's global network, ensuring that fellows continue to benefit from support long after completing the program. “We're fixing a broken nonprofit sector,” she said. “By supporting Gratitude, donors aren't just helping one organization—they're creating a leveraged social venture with outcomes year after year.”Gratitude Network is a beacon for nonprofit leaders striving to accelerate change. With Lauren's leadership, the ripple effect of their work promises to transform communities worldwide, one leader at a time.tl;dr:* Gratitude Network empowers nonprofit leaders with tools like executive coaching and a scale-up curriculum.* Lauren transitioned from education to nonprofits, scaling impactful ideas into sustainable, thriving organizations.* Fellows in the Gratitude Network's program average a 3x growth and serve 2,300 more children annually.* Success at Gratitude stems from system building, postmortems, and clear KPIs to drive measurable impact.* Lauren encourages dedicating 20% of time to strategic thinking to achieve long-term organizational growth.How to Develop Being a Mission-Driven Growth Catalyst As a SuperpowerLauren's superpower lies in being a "mission-driven growth catalyst." This unique ability allows her to inspire and execute change, transforming innovative ideas into scalable, impactful ventures. She empowers changemakers to evolve into effective business leaders while amplifying their impact.Lauren exemplified her superpower while working with Practice, a nonprofit in New York City. Recognizing the potential of using college students to mitigate summer learning loss for 1.1 million children, Lauren built systems and training programs to scale the initiative. Within five years, the organization grew to serve over 50,000 students annually, showcasing her talent for creating processes that drive large-scale change.Tips for Developing This Superpower:* Analyze Success: Regularly reflect on what is working well. Identify the specific steps and actions that led to success and document them.* Create Systems and Processes: Design repeatable systems for achieving desired outcomes. Train team members to implement these processes at scale.* Set and Track KPIs: Develop key performance indicators aligned with organizational goals. Monitor progress monthly and adjust to meet growth targets.* Carve Out Time for Strategy: Dedicate 20 percent of your time to think about long-term growth and innovative ideas rather than just day-to-day execution.* Engage Teams in Postmortems: After every project or milestone, review outcomes—good or bad—to identify lessons and refine processes.By following Lauren's example and advice, you can make "mission-driven growth catalyst" a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileLauren Reilly (she/her):Executive Director, Gratitude NetworkAbout Gratitude Network: Founded in 2014, Gratitude Network is a leadership development non-profit that improves the lives of children and youth around the world by accelerating the community impact of social entrepreneurs.

CLOs today must ask: Is our work building lasting, relevant skills right now? Are we delivering business impact? Is the work building or diminishing L&Ds effectiveness and credibility? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then perhaps it is time for a skills accelerator approach. This is the title of a CLO Lift report and in this episode, we unpack what it means and why it's critical to us, in L&D, but more importantly to our organisations and employees. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D professionals need to become true business partners instead of just trainers and focus on the development aspect of their role. When you focus on data you are effective, and the rest of the business understands that data. Leverage AI and simulations to deliver fast. Understand the relevance of each skill. What is it about that skill or new technology that will enable the learner to do their job better? When your business does something new, be a part of the rollout so truly relevant learning is available from the start. BEST MOMENTS “Capability building can't just be through learning programs. It needs to be truly employee-centric.” “If we can spend less time churning content, we'll be able to spend more time developing people.” “The scope of an L&D leader can no longer be just what training program.” Heather Stefanski Heather Stefanski is a Partner and Chief Learning and Development Officer at McKinsey & Company, overseeing Learning & Development for 45,000+ global colleagues and leading the People Data and Analytics Teams. During 28 years at McKinsey, she has held various roles in talent acquisition, professional development, and learning. She has an MBA and MA in Education from Stanford University, and a BS in Engineering and Operations Research from Princeton University. Bjorn Billhardt Bjorn Billhardt is co-author of The 12-Week MBA and CEO of Abilitie which has trained 100,000 learners in 50 countries, including rising leaders at Fortune 500 companies like Coca-Cola and GE.

How do we define work and the skills needed to do the work? The way we view and assess skills is often through assessing and appraising someone's output. But the problem is that most organizations aren't capturing the right data and using it to gain insight.According to Matt Donovan—the Chief Learning and Innovation Officer at GP Strategies—Job descriptions and skills in general describe the baseline. They are not what makes someone great at what they do. So how do we define the work and the skills needed to do the work? How can we capture a high-performer's secret sauce? What are they doing that's making it a successful experience versus what's written in the job description?We dive into a fascinating conversation about where we are now, how AI is going to both help and disrupt organizations, and what the future of skills assessment could look like.

"We don't have time for learning!” How many times have you heard this objection in your L&D career? There's just too much going on in the operation to make time for L&D activities. Plus, people are already overloaded with compliance training. This means learning is often seen as a distraction from work rather than an essential part of the job. How do we make learning a top priority, even in the busiest workplace? And how do we evolve the role of L&D from compliance-focused order takers to strategic business partners trusted to solve the organization's biggest performance challenges? In this episode of ITK, we're asking Dr. Keith Keating, Chief Learning & Development Officer at BDO Canada and author of the new book, The Trusted Learning Advisor. Keith will explain how L&D can live up to its full potential by establishing credibility with stakeholders, delivering value for organizations and positively impacting employees' lives.For more about why Axonify is the proven employee enablement solution that equips frontlines with the essential tools to learn, connect and get things done, visit https://www.axonify.com.

Skills gaps in the federal workforce remain a significant barrier to reaching better end results in agencies' work. But across government, chief learning officers are taking on some of the challenging, long-term work to try to close those gaps.Generally, skills gaps arise when agencies either don't have the right skills on staff — or simply don't have enough employees in the first place — to effectively implement federal programs. Earlier this year, the Government Accountability Office reported that more than half of the government's biggest problem areas stem directly from mission-critical skills gaps.Agency chief learning officers (CLOs), often behind the scenes, try to ensure an agency's workforce has the skills it needs, particularly in mission-critical areas, such as data analytics, IT and cybersecurity. The senior-level CLO position is tasked with helping agencies first identify skills gaps, and then create a talent development strategy to try to improve those skills — including through offering training opportunities for current employees.

On this episode of The ASHHRA Podcast, we are joined by Gail Games, Vice President – Chief Learning & Development Officer for the Holzer Health System. Gail is a renowned expert in HR and coaching. She shares her insights on various topics related to workplace dynamics, values alignment, and effective training methods.Gail begins by emphasizing the importance of appreciating employees' abilities and positive intentions. She highlights the need for companies to align individuals with shared values to suitable job positions and offers her commitment to helping candidates find opportunities even if they aren't the right fit for their current company.Gail encourages candidates to refer others who might be better suited for the position, recognizing that even if someone doesn't work out initially, they may become a valuable asset in the future after gaining new skills and experience. She reflects on the negative impact of not receiving recognition for a job well done, discussing how a leader's lack of gratitude can make an employee feel undervalued. This, in turn, can lead to the employee seeking new job opportunities, causing misunderstandings and potential turnover.Drawing from her extensive background in healthcare HR, Gail emphasizes the importance of practical application and independent problem-solving in training. She advises against relying solely on PowerPoint presentations for adult learning and suggests that interactive activities are more effective for clinical skills and behavioral change.She introduces a process called "the purge," which involves brainstorming behaviors that are no longer tolerable and then flipping them to determine the desired expectations. These expectations are then paired with the organization's values for easy integration and alignment.Throughout the episode, Gail recognizes areas where her explanations can be improved upon and expresses gratitude for the thoughtful questions posed, emphasizing the constant growth and learning process.

West Coast (Bureau) Innovation (ft. Ken Sterling)OPENING QUOTE:“I'm a homeless kid from New York who wants to connect and wants to be around people, and wants to be safe myself, and wants to make the world a safe place. And really my true north is people and living a positive, collaborative lifestyle with the people that I care about and that help make the world a better place.”-Ken SterlingGUEST BIO:Ken Sterling is Executive Vice President and Chief Learning officer of BigSpeak, the largest speaker bureau on the West coast. Ken is famous for designing BigSpeak's Bureau Alliance Program, which has revolutionized the way speaker bureaus collaborate and work together to create more abundance and exposure for their exclusive speaking clients.Ken holds a PhD in organizational leadership, an MBA, a master's in communication, and a JD. In addition to his leadership role in the speaking industry, Ken also teaches marketing and business ethics and law at UC Santa Barbara.Links:WebsiteLinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[15:09] - Disruptive InnovationHow BigSpeak built and scaled unlike anyone elseIf you want to innovate and truly make your speaking career into something powered by rocket fuel, you can't take five half-steps. You need to choose one or two pursuits, and then pursue the hell out of them with an all-in mindset. Don't half-embrace new technologies or new ideas. Embrace them all the way, then pivot if you need to. That's how Ken helped BigSpeak innovate in a big way.[22:22] - What a Buyer WantsIt's more than the topicsBuyers today want authenticity. They want unique perspectives, including those from diverse voices. They want speakers to demonstrate their capability not just onstage but in writing and other areas of your career. It's about more than just matching a specific topic. It's about representing something that a buyer can't find in any other speaker. [23:33] - The Other Pandemic“Unprecedented times” indeedEveryone focuses on COVID as the biggest shift to the speaking industry in recent memory. But to Ken, the bigger transformation was the shift toward more diverse and inclusive voices. In a world post-George Floyd and other events spurring conversations about marginalized voices, the speaking world is finally moving beyond the “white old guy in a suit” model for all speakers. There is — and has to be — room for diverse voices.[29:40] - The One ThingSetting yourself apart as a speakerKen advises that if a speaking topic is too broad, an audience won't feel like they're getting something new out of the hour they devote to your performance. Meanwhile, having a “one thing” which Ken calls your “zone of genius” helps set you apart in a crowded market, more than being the 1,000th speaker promising to simply “boost productivity.”[35:24] - Find Your True NorthThe missing ingredient for many speakersToo many speakers begin from a place of identifying what's hot in the speaker world, then trying to go after that. Instead, Ken advises that speakers start with what they truly own and have mastered — and are excited by! — and then finding a way to match that message to the current zeitgeist. Buyers want someone who truly owns their message, not someone who is following the latest trend.RESOURCES:[1:30] About BigSpeak[23:07] Ken's INC ColumnFollow Ken Sterling:WebsiteLinkedInFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.
