How Nonprofit Leaders Can Lead Under Pressure with Jay Abbasi
Sep 7, 202635 min
What do you do when the pressure at work never seems to let up? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with peak performance coach Jay Abbasi to talk about what it takes to lead under pressure and how nonprofit L&D leaders can build resilience into how they lead themselves and others. Nonprofit leaders carry a heavy load, with tight resources, shifting priorities, and a mission that never feels like it can wait. That pressure builds and shapes how people think, communicate, and lead, often without them realizing it. This can push even strong leaders into constant reaction mode instead of intentional leadership. ▶️ How Nonprofit Leaders Can Lead Under Pressure with Jay Abbasi ▶️ Key Points: 00:00:00 How Pressure Shapes Nonprofit Leaders 00:03:10 Jay's Path From Personal Loss to Peak Performance Coaching 00:08:51 How L&D Leaders Can Stay Effective Under Pressure 00:13:32 What Pressure Does to the Brain 00:18:51 Building Clarity and Intention as a Learning Leader 00:22:46 Balancing Organizational Urgency With the Patience Behavior Change Requires 00:28:19 One Shift Nonprofit Leaders Can Make to Lead Under Pressure Resources from this episode: Join the next Learning for Good Summit in October: Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective Connect with Jay LinkedIn: Jay Abbasi Website: jayabbasi.me Connect with Heather LinkedIn: Heather Burright Website: skillmastersmarket.com Book an interest call with Heather here . ⭐Was this episode helpful?

The Biggest Mistakes We Make When Measuring Learning
Aug 31, 202619 min
Do you actually know if your training worked, or are you just hoping it did? In this episode of Learning for Good, I break down the five biggest mistakes nonprofit learning and development professionals make when measuring training impact. Most of us know we should be measuring our training, and we want to measure it, but somewhere between good intentions and actual practice, we get stuck. We settle for data that is easy to collect instead of data that tells us the truth. Good measurement isn't about checking a box, it's about using what you learn to make real decisions and show that the work actually matters. ▶️ The Biggest Mistakes We Make When Measuring Learning ▶️ Key Points: 00:00:00 Why Measuring Training Matters 00:03:00 The Kirkpatrick Model of Training Evaluation 00:04:23 The 5 Biggest Mistakes L&D Professionals Make When Measuring Learning 00:17:17 Turning Your Learning Dashboard into a Strategic Tool Resources from this episode: ATD Research: https://www.td.org/content/press-release/atd-research-measuring-learning-program-effectiveness-is-challenging Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective Connect with Heather LinkedIn: Heather Burright Website: skillmastersmarket.com Book an interest call with Heather here . ⭐Was this episode helpful?

How do you decide which trainings in your library still deserve a spot, and which ones are just taking up space? In this episode of Learning for Good, I walk through five strategic questions nonprofit leaders can use to decide when to retire a training program. Many nonprofits build a training toolbox one request at a time, until the toolbox is packed with tools nobody stops to evaluate. That toolbox turns into an endless menu instead of a strategy, and it gets harder to tell which trainings are still earning their place. Keeping a training isn't about whether people liked it or whether it's always been offered, it's about whether it's still moving the mission forward. ▶️ Should You Retire Your Training? ▶️ Key Points: 00:00:00 When Should You Retire a Nonprofit Training Program? 00:03:15 How the Nonprofit Training Toolbox Fills Up Over Time 00:05:32 Five Questions to Decide Whether to Retire a Nonprofit Training Program 00:08:19 Building a Curated Nonprofit Training Toolbox Resources from this episode: Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective Connect with Heather LinkedIn: Heather Burright Website: skillmastersmarket.com Book an interest call with Heather here . ⭐Was this episode helpful?

The Hidden Cost of Reactive Learning in Nonprofits
Aug 10, 202633 min
Does your learning and development team spend more time responding to requests than shaping where your organization is headed? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with L&D leaders Kamaria Scott, Rachel Platt, and Yogi Mueller for a conversation on why nonprofit learning and development teams stay reactive and what it takes to build stronger learning and development strategies. Too many L&D functions have been reduced to a training factory instead of shaping where the organization is headed. We talk about why this happens even to skilled, well-intentioned professionals and the real cost of staying reactive instead of strategic. ▶️ The Hidden Cost of Reactive Learning in Nonprofits ▶️ Key Points: 00:00:00 Reactive vs Strategic Learning and Development 00:04:05 Understanding Reactive Learning 00:06:31 How the L&D Business Partner Role Got Lost 00:15:25 Learning Becomes Strategic When... 00:23:06 The Real Cost of Staying Reactive 00:25:25 One Shift Every L&D Professional Can Make Today Resources from this episode: Past episodes on strategic learning: E195: Learning IS Strategy but Some Learning Teams Stay Stuck in Reactive Mode.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
