7. Suggested Tips and Techniques for Attraction
1) Posting available volunteer roles vs. posting all volunteer roles
2) Thorough role descriptions, including time commitment, location,
solo/group activity, direct beneficiary contact, age, requirements
3) “A person who enjoys . . . may find this role appealing.”
4) “Don’t see a role listed here that matches your unique talents?
Let’s chat! Tell us how you would like to make a difference . . .”

10. The Discovery Conversation
“What brings you here? What attracted you to this organization?”
“Tell me about your interests and hobbies. What do you like to do?
What do you prefer not to do?”
“What do you do professionally? Describe your development goals.”
“What special skills, talents or strengths do you have that could
benefit others as you share them?”

13. Coaching: Leadership Otherliness in Action
Coaching is conducting
regularly scheduled one-on-one discussions
between the leader and the volunteer
that are focused on performance and development.
pp. 115-121, “Engaging the Head, Heart and Hands of a Volunteer,” The Peppertree Press, 2015.

14. Acknowledging Desired Performance

for presence, demonstrated qualities and
characteristics and overall contribution.
Recognition
a specific expression provided
in acknowledgement of having met or exceeded
performance expectations; Recognition delivers
intrinsic, emotional value to the recipient.
Reward
a tangible item provided
in acknowledgement of having met or exceeded
performance expectations; a Reward delivers
extrinsic, monetary value to the recipient.
Incentive
a factor that drives or enables
meeting or exceeding performance expectations
by providing predetermined
recognition or reward; an incentive
may have tangible or emotional value.
