Hey there, friends! In today's episode, we're diving into some big shifts happening in the world of philanthropy and nonprofits—and why it's more crucial than ever for us to evolve with the times.We're in a new era. From policy changes on platforms like Facebook that affect nonprofit fundraising to a noticeable decline in DEI and education funding, it's clear that yesterday's strategies won't carry us forward. We're seeing funding sources dry up, priorities shift, and high performers leave the sector. If we don't adapt, we risk getting left behind. And I don't want that for any of you or the causes you champion.Key Points Covered:- Changing Fundraising Landscape: Social media platforms and government funding policies are shifting. For example, Facebook is no longer supporting recurring gifts or covering fees, and many big-name philanthropies are cutting their education budgets. To survive and thrive, we need diversified revenue streams and strategies that don't rely on a single source. - Talent Crisis in Nonprofits: The nonprofit space is struggling to attract, retain, and train talent, especially in development roles. Too often, we see fundraising stars promoted into management roles without the skills or support to truly lead. We need to invest in developing our people and equipping them with the tools they need to succeed.- Leadership and Growth: Being a great manager isn't about having all the answers; it's about coaching and supporting your team's growth. It's time to shift from a mindset of doing it all ourselves to empowering others to lead and create change alongside us.- Avoiding Burnout: We are stretched thin, often doing multiple roles. It's not sustainable. We need to communicate our needs, advocate for better support, and focus on activities that drive meaningful progress. As leaders, we have to model a healthier, more sustainable approach to work.I also talked about the importance of self-reflection, especially as nonprofit leaders. Every quarter, I take a step back to assess how I'm doing in all aspects of my life—from my relationships to my work to my personal growth. We need to prioritize not only the tasks but our well-being and long-term vision. This kind of introspection and planning is essential to keep our organizations strong and sustainable.If we want to see change in our organizations, it starts with us. We need to embrace new ways of thinking, build new habits, and invest in ourselves as leaders. It's about growing our skill sets, enhancing our capacity to lead, and creating a culture where our teams feel supported, empowered, and inspired. Together, we can grow our impact and make a difference, but it requires action, courage, and a commitment to growth. So, let's continue to challenge ourselves and each other to be the best leaders we can be.Do you need to make bolder asks, but you have to figure out what the heck you're going to say?

In this episode, Dave Hutchinson and Jenny Mitchell dive into the talent crisis shaking up the non-profit world, especially in Canada. With boomers retiring and Gen X mysteriously under-engaged, who's going to step up? Their answer: millennials in their mid-30s to early 40s! But it's not just about filling seats - organizations need thoughtful, values-driven succession planning to secure the right people for leadership roles. This episode highlights the power of mentorship, internal talent development, and keeping your culture on point. Bad hires are costly, so boards and CEOs must be intentional about building a supportive, mission-aligned environment.  Tune in for fresh ideas on how to stay ahead of the talent curve, and for more insights, check out causeleadership.com —

This week, Rob Levin, says there's a talent crisis in America, but you wouldn't know it reading most business publications. That's because the crisis is affecting smaller businesses much more than bigger businesses. Levin, co-founder and chairman of  WorkBetterNow, which provides remote workforce and virtual assistant services to small businesses, says he keeps hearing the same thing from owners who come to him looking for help. They just can't find good people. Levin offers several pieces of advice that start with creating a culture that people want to be part of and then building your brand as an employer. We also talk about how he's gotten his whole team hooked on using AI, in part through what he calls show-and-tell days.

Later this month, we will host our first Australian Aviation Summit in partnership with Leidos Australia.

In this special episode, Jesse Young, head of flight operations at Leidos, and Lea Vesic, CEO of RMIT's Aviation Academy, talk candidly about what it will take to build and retain our future workforce. They examine its causes, effects and what more needs to be done to solve this ongoing challenge. Plus, they also discuss their pioneering collaboration that will see Leidos provide $120,000 worth of scholarship funding to final-year students at RMIT.

We begin the episode with a warm welcome, setting the stage for a discussion on how to effectively onboard new talent in the food industry. We address the talent crisis and the necessity of nurturing the available workforce. We share an anonymous story from a listener who faced isolation and lack of support during her placement year which leads into a broader conversation about the importance of structured onboarding processes, including clear role definitions, regular check-ins, and peer mentorship. We stress the value of creating a welcoming and supportive environment, especially for young professionals.Lucy recounts her initial days in the industry, emphasising the difference respectful and supportive managers make and Amy shares a cringe-worthy story from her placement year, highlighting the consequences of miscommunication and lack of proper training.  We both underscore the importance of empathy, clear communication, and fostering a sense of belonging for new employees.Towards the end, we discuss the implications of hybrid working models and the additional challenges they pose for onboarding new talent. We call for listeners to share their own experiences and tips, aiming to build a community of support and shared learning within the food industry.**Timestamps**00:00:00 - Amy on valuing new talent and the industry talent crisis00:00:15 - Lucy introduces the episode and its focus00:00:30 - Lucy and Amy on their experience in the food industry00:01:26 - Listener's anonymous story and its impact00:03:09 - Amy and Lucy discuss competitive placement years00:04:09 - Challenges of starting a placement during Covid00:05:46 - The need for better onboarding processes00:06:49 - Interns and their role within organizations00:08:21 - Toxic work environments00:10:03 - The importance of respect and kindness in onboarding00:13:10 - Mentors and their impact00:19:15 - Valuing smaller businesses for richer experiences00:20:31 - Structured onboarding and clarity in roles00:22:55 - Regular check-ins and providing necessary resources00:24:57 - Encouraging young talent and valuing their perspective00:25:56 - Challenges of hybrid working and its impact on onboarding00:26:55 - Outro and call for listener feedbackLinks and Resources:Website Link: https://ohforfoodssake.co.uk/FB Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ohforfoodsakeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/oh-for-food-s-sake/You can follow us here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oh_forfoodssake/For industry consulting from Lucy, connect with her on Instagram or LinkedIn.Find her on Instagram or LinkedIn for further support with industry coaching and facilitation from Amy.See you next time!

In today's episode, I ask if we are headed for a talent crisis in core engineering streams, but first a couple of headlines. Headlines Agnikul Cosmos, has raised $26.7 million in Series-B funding from investors including Celesta Capital, Rocketship.vc, Artha Venture Fund and Artha Select Fund, the Chennai startup said in a press release on Oct. 17. IBM yesterday announced the signing of three memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with three entities engaged with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to advance and accelerate innovation in AI, semiconductor and quantum technology for India, the company said in a press release. One thing today It's that time of the year when the last of the admissions in India's massive engineering education market get nailed down. And once again, despite the ongoing slowdown in the IT services sector, computer science remains the hottest area. Reports from states known for their engineering schools, such as Maharashtra and Karnataka show that traditional streams such as civil and mechanical engineering are running a large number of vacancies. Over the next decade, will this translate to a talent crisis in India, just when the country's manufacturing and infrastructure efforts need to shift to high gear. In Karnataka, at least 10 engineering streams that have had little or no demand for the last few years may be removed from the pool of seats available for students to choose from, Deccan Herald reports today. In alignment with the ongoing trend of low demand for certain streams, the Karnataka state government's department of higher education is planning to write to the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to discontinue such streams, the paper reports. These subjects include Aeronautics, Polymer Technology, Environmental Engineering, Construction Technology, Ceramics, and Textiles Engineering. Deccan Herald reports that 60 colleges in the state have not enrolled more than three students in some courses, with some colleges even seeing only one admission in core streams like Civil Engineering, according to data from the Department of Technical Education. M C Sudhakar, the state's minister for higher education, has said that the government is collecting college-wise details about low admissions and streams that had no admissions. And this will be communicated to the AICTE, according to the paper. The AICTE has extended the deadline for admission to engineering colleges to October 30. And the Karnataka government is in collecting details from private engineering colleges, the paper reports. Computer Science remains the most popular branch of engineering in Maharashtra with preference for allied new-age technology courses such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning and Cyber Security, The Indian Express reported on Sep. 11, citing data from the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell. Some 1,17,000 students already having confirmed their preferences, the paper reports. Of the close to 50,000 seats in computer science and the allied new-age courses, nearly 45,000 have already been filled, the paper reports. Traditional core engineering branches such as mechanical and civil engineering are running 50 percent vacancies this year, according to the Express. And allied courses of civil engineering such as Civil and Environmental Engineering, Civil and Infrastructural Engineering, Civil Engineering and Planning also recorded very low admissions. Out of a combined intake of 341 seats, only 104 seats have been filled so far. Consider this. Next year, it will be the 10th anniversary of the launch of the ‘Make in India' campaign. And as India looks to step up its efforts in areas ranging from electric vehicle battery cells to ships, planes and space rockets, not to mention bridges, ports and smart cities, perhaps it's time to figure out how to build the talent pool in the core engineering streams that we'll need in the coming years.

Apprenticeships can help solve the tech talent crisis, says work force expert Jenn CarlsonWe've been hearing a lot about how technology companies are scrambling to find enough workers with the skills they need. Our guest today, Jennifer Carlson, points us to one way to address the hiring crunch. Jenn is Co-Founder and Executive Director of Apprenti, a non-profit that provides a new pathway to access tech talent, address digital skill shortages, and guide underrepresented groups into the employment pipeline. Apprenti has created a model that meets the needs of both employers and job seekers, and its program is first on the list of Federally recognized apprenticeship programs. Jenn explains how apprenticeships differ from internships because the employer offers robust training and a serious intent to hire. She describes how apprenticeships can meet companies' needs. And she explains why a tech apprenticeship might be an attractive career route for you, even if you don't have a college degree. Check out Apprenti here: https://apprenticareers.org/hire/

Für Neo ist es das Blacklist Album von Metallica, für Fabi das neue Billy Talent Album 'Crisis of Faith' - wir sind einfach mit neuer Musik nicht zufrieden und müssen uns entsprechend austauschen. Ausserdem kommt mehrmals zur Sprache wie unüberzeugt wir von den Hobbit-Filmen sind und zum Abschluss gibt's noch ein paar Dealbreaker zum mitnehmen.

We're back with another Riot Act Reviews, the show where we cast our critical eye over a brand new release from a sizable or interesting artist.  Today we're looking at the 6th studio album from Canadian stadium punk lads Billy Talent, Crisis of Faith. Billy Talent are both sizable AND interesting, particularly if you're German, but both of our hosts scratch their heads and try to remember the bands previous album, 2016's Afraid of Heights, but can't quite put their finger on having any prior knowledge of it. That's not to say we have no prior love of BT, in fact their earlier material is very close to the heart of one of us, but that was the past, and can the Billy Talent of 2022 match up to their wiry, yelping and anthemic best of the 2000's? https://billytalent.tmstor.es/?lf=116807cff6d6a83d5c61fc8e34f9e763 (Like Billy Talent?

The challenges for recruiting in hospitality at the moment are unprecedented both in the US and the UK. The jobs market has inverted, and there are currently many more roles than there are people searching for jobs. The extent of this imbalance has taken the industry by surprise and put many companies on the back foot and struggling to reopen fully. So what can employers do to get the talent they need, not just in the hospitality industry but also in other sectors where talent is in short supply.

In the interview, we discuss:    ▪   The current challenges in the hospitality industry    ▪   An unprecedented imbalance in supply and demand    ▪   The importance of thinking creatively    ▪   Focusing on the fundamentals of culture    ▪   What is important to employees    ▪   Telling employee stories and reflecting the EVP    ▪   Equipping employees with the right tools for referrals    ▪   Using recruiting technology to its full extent    ▪   Thinking outside of the ATS    ▪   Communicating with candidates in their chosen channels.    ▪   What does the future look like for recruiting?

Many people in the Cyber Security profession aspire to be the Chief Information Security Executive of their organization some day. Listen to the Chief Information Security Officer of Ciena, Andy Bonillo describe his journey from humble beginnings to becoming a CISO on Episode #114 of Task Force 7 Radio. Mr. Bonillo talks about how the totality of the learnings throughout his life and his experiences as a police officer and Secret Service Agent helped to shape his Information Security career.

The President of CyberSourcing and Advisor to Task Force 7 Inc., Jay VanDerwerken appears on Episode #125 of Task Force 7 Radio to get his opinion on whether the unprecedented jobs forecast for the Cyber Security market is accurate, what we should do about the Cyber Security workforce shortage in the US, and find out whether or not we will ever be able to staff all the unfilled positions that currently exist. Jay also opined on whether or not he thinks that people are leaving the Cyber Security industry faster than employers are attracting new talent, and whether or not the inability for companies to staff Cyber Security positions on a mass scale is contributing to a threat to the National Security of the United States. All this and much, much more on Episode #125 of Task Force Radio.

With our special guest, Dr. Magda Chelly, we are going to define the problem with attracting women into the Cyber Security space and discuss what we need to do moving forward to solve this problem which is driving the Cyber Security Talent Crisis across the globe.

Kyle Campbell is a 3x startup founder and current CEO of CTO.ai, a platform that makes it easy for startups to empower teams through automation of DevOps tasks without writing any lines of code. At the core of CTO.ai's mission is to uplevel developers by giving them the tools to perform like senior engineers and make teams 10x more efficient. Why does this matter? To keep up with this digital transformation, companies of all sizes are competing for technical workers. But there's a major deficit of talent. With over 1 million tech jobs anticipated to be left unfilled by 2020 in the US, this poses a greater threat to scaling businesses than access to capital. As a result, companies pay for a handful of deep technical expertise whose time is often misallocated to training new developers or wasted on time-intensive, tactical tasks -- adding up to just about $300B of lost productivity every year. That's why after hearing first hand from founders who tried to get him to be their full-time CTO, Kyle went about creating a platform to meet what he saw as an unmet need. I invited Kyle onto Tech Talks Daily to learn insights into the technical talent crisis facing startup teams, and why they should care. We discuss what to consider when it comes to future workplace environments, such as: The increasing complexity of problems facing today's enterprise - it's like a snake trying to eat an elephant! How collaboration, not competition, will drive the success of tomorrow's startups How technology is making highly technical jobs more accessible to junior employees How automation is creating operational efficiency and creating superhuman devs that allowing them to do more impactful work. Kyle also shares more information about the recent announcement of the $7.5M round from Slack Fund and Tiger Global that was featured on TechCrunch. Founded in 2017, CTO.ai is a Slack-backed start-up that provides an open registry of shortcuts to help technical leads at startups quickly scale developer teams and streamline developer productivity 10x. Kyle has successfully guided the company to team to 60 full-time staff, profitably, with a 400% revenue increase over the last 18 months. Previous to CTO.ai, Kyle founded 'Retsly,' a company that helped developers access real-estate data from multiple listing services. Retsly was acquired in 2014 by leading real estate technology company Zillow, where Kyle continued to lead the execution of Retsly's original vision by creating a safe and reliable platform upon which to build innovative real estate software. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Kyle is a self-taught developer and has been programming since the age of 8. As an investor and advisor to a wide range of technology startups, Kyle's mission is to democratize DevOps to help the next generation of workers reach their full potential.

Is our nation hurtling towards the least innovative era in its proud history? Technology companies are increasingly concerned that we are—and it’s not for want of ambition, investment or progression. So, what is holding us back? In the first of a new series from Eulogy, Phil Borge and Chloe Redfern delve deep into the challenge of recruitment in the tech sector. Together, they look behind the headlines to ask industry leaders how to attract top talent to their businesses when demand is so at odds with supply. In their quest, they meet Matt Soane, general manager, Ocado Technology and Luke Coleman, senior tech talent partner at Argos who discuss their strategies for recruiting a new generation of developers and engineers. Borge and Redfern turn also speak to Mark Di-Toro, careers expert at Glassdoor, for a candid assessment of the shrinking talent pool and, crucially, how to win its attention.
