Should You Retire Your Training?
Aug 17, 202611 min
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.

When to Choose Coaching as Your Leadership Development Solution with Melody Lam
Aug 3, 202630 min
In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with nonprofit leader Melody Lam to explore how she built a coaching culture by training first-time managers to coach. Coaching sounds like the obvious solution when new managers struggle to have hard conversations with their teams, but it often gets treated as a perk reserved for executives, and the cost of outside coaches can make the whole idea feel out of reach. Melody's experience shows that coaching does not have to start big or expensive, it can start with a simple model, a willing pilot group, and two minutes of practice at a time. ▶️ When to Choose Coaching as Your Leadership Development Solution with Melody Lam ▶️ Key Points: 00:00:00 Why Nonprofits Need Coaches, Not Just Training 00:03:50 Melody's Path into Nonprofit Leadership Development 00:07:39 The Benefits of Coaching Across Organizations 00:11:45 Building Emotional Buy-In for Coaching 00:14:39 Making Coaching Accessible with a Limited Budget 00:19:13 Piloting and Scaling Coaching Across the Organization 00:21:01 Coaching Results: From Technical Skills to Coaching Culture 00:23:42 Where to Start with Coaching (Even with Limited Time or Budget) Resources from this episode: E175: How One Nonprofit Used Habit Stacking to Improve Feedback Skills with Amy Glover The Extraordinary Coach: How the Best Leaders Help Others Grow by John Zenger and Kathleen Stinnett Join us for our next Nonprofit L&D Collective networking event on August 19: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/join-the-nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective Connect with Melody LinkedIn: Melody L.

How to Make Learning Last: Designing for Workplace Behavior Change
Jul 27, 202615 min
Why does your team go right back to their old habits the week after training ends? In this episode of Learning for Good, I break down how nonprofit leaders can design training that leads to lasting workplace behavior change instead of a short-lived bump in knowledge. Most training ends the same way. People show up, they learn something new, and within a few weeks it is like the training never happened. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and it is not because your training was bad. What matters is designing for what happens after training ends, so the learning people carry with them actually changes what they do on the job. ▶️ How to Make Learning Last: Designing for Workplace Behavior Change ▶️ Key Points: 00:00:00 How to Make Learning Last 00:05:03 The Real Goal of Nonprofit Staff Training and Development 00:05:36 The Four Gears of Lasting Behavior Change Resources from this episode: Episode mentioned: E193: Why Staff Need a Reason to Change Behavior Join the free, virtual Nonprofit L&D Collective networking event: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/join-the-nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective 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?

Learning IS Strategy but Some Learning Teams Stay Stuck in Reactive Mode. Here's Why.
Jul 20, 202633 min
Does your L&D team spend most of its time responding to urgent training requests instead of shaping strategy? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Mark Nilles and Scot Vessell, two experienced learning and development leaders, to discuss what it actually takes for nonprofit L&D to operate as a strategic lever. We argue that becoming a strategic partner starts with an internal shift, from seeing yourself as a learning designer who produces training to seeing yourself as a change agent who helps solve organizational problems. ▶️ 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.
