Every year, we hear news reports about the “summer slide,” or the summer learning loss. Students arrive to school behind where they left off in May or June. This is a real challenge. But there’s more to the story. So, in this week’s article, I... The post How Deeper Learning Can Address Summer Learning Loss appeared first on John Spencer.

The way we manage people today is built on ideas from over 100 years ago—ideas designed for factory floors, not modern workplaces. Management was originally created to enforce control, standardize behavior, and ensure compliance. Engagement, empowerment, and innovation? None of those were part of the equation. And yet, many organizations still operate with that outdated playbook, whether they admit it or not. In today's Leadership Spark, I break down how the roots of management are still shaping the way we lead today, and why that must change. From the rigid philosophies of Frederick Taylor and Henry Fayol to the mindless “yes sir” culture revealed in David Marquet's story as a submarine captain, we explore the dangers of blind obedience, outdated control models, and transactional leadership. You'll also hear how even the words we use, such as manager, employee, and work still reflect an antiquated, dehumanizing view of the workplace. Things are changing, and if you want to lead the future, better start rejecting the “slave driver and cog” model now and build cultures based on trust, empowerment, and shared responsibility. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes Capital Campaign Pro's Director of Engagement, Steven Shattuck, to explore how nonprofit organizations can approach artificial intelligence with confidence, strategy, and purpose. Whether you're skeptical of AI or eager to experiment, this conversation unpacks what it means to use AI responsibly while staying focused on relationships and results.Steven, author of Robots Make Bad Fundraisers, shares his perspective on how AI fits into modern nonprofit work: not as a replacement for the human element, but as a set of tools that can improve efficiency and free up time for the work that truly matters.Topics Covered in This Episode:How to assess your organization's needs before adopting any AI toolsWhy nonprofits often lag in tech adoption, and how to overcome those barriersThe importance of having an internal “tech champion” to evaluate and experiment with new toolsReal-world examples of AI helping with campaign planning, meeting prep, donor communication, and volunteer trainingWhy Capital Campaign Pro developed Andie, an AI tool trained specifically for capital campaign strategy, and how clients are using it to save hours of time each weekPractical safety reminders when using AI tools, including data privacy best practicesWhat tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and others are good at (and when to use each)Throughout the conversation, Amy and Steven emphasize that AI should never replace the strategic thinking and relationship-building at the heart of fundraising. Instead, it should support the work of nonprofit leaders, making it faster to draft documents, generate ideas, and prepare for donor interactions. From customizing gift agreements to training new staff or board members, AI is already making a difference for organizations of all sizes.Notable Highlights:“Donors give to outcomes—not organizations. AI can help us communicate those outcomes more clearly and more efficiently.”“You don't need to jump on every new tech trend, but ignoring AI altogether could cost you valuable time and energy.”“The first step is to check what you already have. Your CRM or other tools may already offer AI-powered features.”“Our clients aren't replacing advisors with AI—they're using AI between meetings to move faster and make better decisions.”Steven also reflects on the current moment in nonprofit tech: AI isn't a passing trend. It's a shift in how we work.Key Takeaways for Nonprofit Leaders:Start with your goals. Choose tools based on your actual pain points, not the latest trendLook for low-risk opportunities to experiment, like creating first drafts of agendas or donor lettersAssign someone - staff, volunteer, or board member - to lead your internal AI explorationTrain tools with trusted data and frameworks to get relevant, high-quality responsesBe mindful of privacy, especially when using free public AI toolsCollaborate with consultants and vendors who are tech-forward and actively integrating new toolsWhether you're running a $60 million campaign or just beginning to think about how to modernize your systems, this episode offers approachable, practical ideas to help you get started (or go deeper) with AI in your organization.Resources Mentioned:Capital Campaign Pro's online toolkit and Andie, the AI assistantSteven's book: Robots Make Bad FundraisersAI tools discussed: ChatGPT, Claude by Anthropic, PerplexityFree blog articles, webinars, and tools available at capitalcampaignpro.com

Today on the show we've got a very special guest, one of the OGs of ecommerce, Ezra Firestone.He's been around forever, running brands like Boom by Cindy Joseph, building software companies like Zipify, and creating training businesses like Smart Marketer, all while staying hands-on in the game as the DTC landscape keeps evolving.We get into how he went from top wig drop-shipper to building and exiting nine-figure brands, and how that journey shaped the way he thinks about marketing today.

In this episode, Dayna Johnson shares why annual planning is one of the most powerful steps you can take to build a high-performing dental practice. From setting up your appointment book to mapping out production goals and involving your team in the process, Dayna breaks down a practical, results-driven approach to scheduling and goal setting. You'll learn how to use structured scheduling to keep your re-care patients on track, how to set production targets based on your actual overhead (not random percentages), and how to foster a culture of communication and feedback that drives consistent results. Whether you're a dentist, office manager, or part of the admin team, these strategies will help you kick off your year with a plan that boosts productivity, improves team alignment, and creates a better patient experience.

Schedule days off and vacations in advance to avoid last-minute chaos. Base production goals on practice overhead instead of arbitrary increases. Keep your team informed and engaged in scheduling decisions. Adjust your “perfect day” schedule to meet new patient goals. Track production daily to maintain team focus and performance. Encourage team feedback to refine your scheduling approach. Commit to continuous improvement to build a high-performing team.

Iris betreibt einen Gänsehof in Lohne bei Oldenburg und dort habe ich sie besucht. Ich wollte von ihr wissen, wie eine unabhängige Landwirtschaft funktioniert, was es bedeutet, einen Familienbetrieb weiterzuführen und wo sie sich politisch vertreten fühlt.

Social commerce has become one of the most powerful drivers of online revenue, and when combined with the right video marketing strategy, it can turn casual viewers into loyal buyers faster than ever. In this episode, we sit down with Eitan Koter, co-founder of Vimmi, to explore how brands can turn content into real revenue using the combined power of social commerce and video marketing. Eitan starts by sharing his background and the story behind Vimmi, a video commerce platform helping brands drive sales with shoppable video and live shopping across storefronts and social networks. He then defines social commerce in today's context, explaining how it has evolved from simple “buy now” links to a full-scale ecosystem where video, community, and purchasing power merge seamlessly. For businesses wondering where to start, Eitan breaks down exactly how to launch your first social commerce videos, from choosing the right platforms to understanding your audience's buying triggers. He introduces his powerful Content, Community, and Commerce framework, which shows how storytelling, engagement, and sales strategy work together to drive long-term results. Listeners will also learn what makes content truly valuable in a social commerce setting, how to maintain high-quality output while producing videos at scale, and why consistency often beats one-off viral hits. Listen now and start transforming your video content into conversions that count.

More posts ≠ more progress. I'm sharing exactly what's working on social media right now—and what's not—so you can adapt your content to meet your audience where they are (without burning out in the process). We're covering real shifts in content behavior, algorithm changes, and how smart marketers are showing up differently in 2025. If you're frustrated with lower reach and engagement, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next. In this episode of the podcast, I talk about:  Why the attention economy has shifted (and what it means for your content) Why “educational” posts aren't hitting like they used to The difference between how-to content and how-I content The “middle tier content” that's fading fast What “high-concept, low-production” content actually looks like The real reason engagement has dropped (it's not you)   This Episode Was Made Possible By: Riverside All-in-One Podcast & Video Platform Visit Riverside and use the code DREA to get 15% off any Riverside individual plan.

In this episode, Phil revisits the influential book 'Silver Bullets' by Karl Rohnke, sharing key insights and play pointers that remain relevant in adventure education today. He emphasizes the importance of engagement, flexibility in rules, variety in activities, inclusivity in team selection, and self-competition, all aimed at enhancing the experiential learning process. Engagement in activities is crucial for effective learning. Flexibility in rules can enhance participation and enjoyment. Variety in activities prevents boredom and keeps participants engaged. Inclusivity in team selection fosters a sense of belonging. Self-competition encourages personal growth and motivation. Minimizing rules can lead to more dynamic and engaging activities. Bending rules can adapt activities to fit different groups. Avoiding repetitive activities maintains interest and excitement. Observation can be a valid form of participation. Karl Rohnke's principles continue to influence adventure education.

On this episode, I welcome Mr. Mike Viane, a certified business and executive coach, to the Customers First Boardroom. With an impressive 30-year career in the movie industry, including roles at major studios like Warner Bros, Mike brings invaluable insights into the intersection of business acumen and storytelling. Currently, he's the owner of Focal Point Coaching, where he helps a range of clients—from executives to entrepreneurs—navigate growth and organizational reinvention. Mike has learned to work with various personality types in high-pressure environments and how to facilitate better communication and understanding among teams. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in leadership, especially when striving for a positive work culture and improved guest experiences. One of the most striking concepts we discuss is tactical empathy, as popularized by Chris Voss in his book "Never Split the Difference." Mike explains how replacing judgment with curiosity in business interactions can lead to deeper understanding and better resolutions. He illustrates this approach with a real-life example involving movie theatre managers successfully de-escalating a tense situation with an unhappy guest by applying empathetic communication strategies. We dive into actionable insights as well, particularly the idea of Difference-Making Actions (DMAs). Mike passionately advocates for intentionality in our daily routines, urging listeners to set specific, measurable actions that align with their goals rather than simply getting caught up in reactive tasks. He discusses the importance of making these DMAs a priority at the start of each day, highlighting that small, intentional actions can cumulatively lead to significant personal and professional growth over time. Wrapping up our conversation, we touch on the concept of the "marathon mindset"—a theme that Mike encountered at a recent coaching conference. He outlines the four P's: purpose, preparation, pace, and perseverance, emphasizing how breaking down overwhelming goals into manageable steps can foster sustained progress and mitigate feelings of uncertainty. As we close, Mike leaves us with his core message about the power of focusing on our DMAs to set ourselves up for success. He encourages listeners to take actionable steps daily that contribute to a positive workplace culture and customer experience.   Mike's Contact Information: Website: https://michaelviane.focalpointcoaching.com LinkedIn: @michael-viane-105700195/   Tacey's Contact Information: Website: taceyatkinson.com All Socials: @TaceyAtkinson   Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.

Equity compensation can be a powerful tool to engage and motivate employees, but only when they understand its value. With over 25 years of experience in stock plan administration, Christine Zwerling, Head of Stock Administration at Asana, shares insights for HR leaders looking to make equity work harder for their teams. In this episode of Invested at Work, host Rodney Bolden speaks with Christine about how equity compensation can be a key lever for culture and connection.

In this week's episode of The Refresh, Kait breaks down one of the biggest sports media deals in years: Disney's ESPN has struck a landmark agreement with the NFL to take full control of the NFL Network, expand access to RedZone, and launch its long-awaited direct-to-consumer app. The episode also unpacks Instagram's latest copycat features, Meta's shifting engagement strategy, and a series of high-impact headlines from across the advertising and tech space, including lawsuits, mergers, and AI transparency battles. Disney's Massive NFL Deal: ESPN will gain operational control of the NFL Network and distribution rights to RedZone, while the NFL secures a 10% stake in ESPN, valued between $2.5 and $3 billion. ESPN's Streaming Leap: The new ESPN standalone app launches August 21 for $29.99/month, offering 47,000+ live events annually, betting features, and personalized content — a key move amid declining cable economics. Instagram's TikTok Dupes: Instagram launched a repost tool, Snapmap-style location sharing, and a visibility control feature for Reels, all met with mixed reactions and privacy concerns. Meta's Monetization Playbook: Zuckerberg emphasizes “engagement” as Meta's primary revenue driver, while critics say the company's product strategy feels increasingly erratic and creator-hostile.

When people Google Bonterra, they often see 2021 as its starting point. That year, lead investor Apax joined with Vista, holder of Social Solutions, and Insight Partners, holder of EveryAction, to unite those businesses under one brand. But, as Matthew Hardy tells us, the company's history stretches much further back—“We have customers that are 20–25-year-old customers, so (there are) a lot of longstanding relationships.”From its earliest days, Bonterra's mission has been clear: provide “purpose-built software for nonprofits.” Today, that includes tools for strategic philanthropy, enabling Fortune 50 companies and foundations to distribute funds, manage grants, and ensure resources reach the right causes.Its Impact Management business works with both small nonprofits and large entities—including city and state initiatives involving millions of dollars—to answer the central question: “What's the impact?” Hardy tells us many philanthropists have historically invested without a clear view of results; Bonterra's solutions aim to change that.Fundraising and Engagement solutions—traditional CRM-style donor management platforms—serve nonprofits across the spectrum, from micro-organizations to nationally recognized names.Although backed by private equity “impact funds,” Hardy stresses there's no easing of performance expectations. Bonterra tracks “all the same metrics you would typically see in your vertical SaaS companies”—from new and install base bookings to gross and net retention, margins, and EBITDA.Ultimately, Hardy's strategic lens centers on value realization. “If your customers…aren't finding significant value…you're not going to last long,” he tells us. Whether helping nonprofits hit fundraising goals or guiding corporate giving programs, Bonterra's work is measured by both mission and metrics.
