Learning & Finding Inspiration From Today’s Leading PhilanthropistsJeff Greenstein
The philanthropic model at its heart is and has always been simple: one person giving aid, hope, money and/or time to a person, an initiative or a foundation. Famous philanthropists can inspire us to give creatively and impactfully, but in the end, it’s up to every one of us, billionaire or not, to personalize how we choose to give. We can learn and be moved by them regardless of our financial capacity. In doing so, we can all contribute to making the world a better place.

Tribute to Nelson Mandela: An Entrepreneurial Retrospective by Penina Rybak Penina Rybak
We are truly saddened to hear about the passing of Nelson Mandela, who singlehandedly taught present and future generations of children and adults what it means to be a self actualized human being, a thinker with self awareness of the essence of life and worth, and someone who practiced what so many just preach: stand up for what you believe in.
Nelson Mandela was a pilot in the truest sense of the word; for people in his country, but also for people worldwide.I think Nelson Mandela would have made a fantastic social entrepreneur, and an even better mentor in Real Time.I only have his virtual mentorship to guide me, his “voice” added to the many voices in my head, herding me on my own entrepreneurial journey. My CTA for more women to join the Entrepreneur Revolution, its sibling the Tech Revolution, and their offshoot; the social entrepreneurship movement.

Voici l'essentiel des gestes — non inclus les gestes de la correction verbo-tonale ni les gestes de phonétique gestuelle — que j'ai été amené à utiliser en classe pour apporter une commande/correction sans interrompre l'apprenant qui s'exprime.
Voici une petite technique pour gérer la classe sans s'énerver, sans même hausser le ton, et en montrant aux apprenants que "you mean business" & "they should get to work"...
This is a slightly amended version of a presentation that I gave in 2013. The occasion was a business networking conference in Ireland called BizCamp.
It deals with the issue of persuasion and influence. How do we get people – customers, clients, and colleagues – to do what we want them to do? I’ve listed two ineffective ways, and two powerful ways. And I’ve given guidance as to the ‘how to’ without waffle.
Whether you’re a He-Man or a She-Ra, I hope you learn something.
Since I’ve written and published my first novel, I’ve been thinking about the different novel’s I’ve read that have influenced me, particularly the one’s that taught me a new technique to make the story come alive. I’ve gathered all these ideas together in one presentation for my own purposes, but also to share with interested parties for feedback and discussion.
There’s too much text. But it’s my first SlideShare attempt, so I’ll do better next time. As an extenuating circumstance, I found it difficult to convey the quantity of information I wanted by purely visible means.
Thanks for reading.
This is a slightly amended version of a presentation that I gave in 2012. The occasion was a business networking conference in Ireland called BizCamp.
It exemplifies one of my key passions and methods, which is to take an obscure but potent idea from the academic world and apply it to the business world. This necessitates a bit of wordiness, but I’ve tried to spice it up and illustrate it as much as possible.
The title, however, is pure kick-ass!
Social Media and Your Personal Brand - Margaret DonnellyMargaret Donnelly
Presentation at the New Hampshire High Tech Council #TechWomen Power Breakfast. LinkedIn. Twitter. Facebook. Pinterest. Meerkat. Periscope. Instagram. Vine. The list goes on. While businesses are focused on using social media to develop their brands and engage their customers, individuals are using social media for both professional and personal purposes. But in today’s connected world, your professional and personal identities are intertwined, and employers are searching for—and finding—personal profiles as part of their candidate reviews. With this in mind, how should you approach your social media participation? How do you develop—or limit—your social presence to enhance your personal brand? How do you use social media to further your professional goals?

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance.

He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

In the first article Ms. Schwarzer looks at the years 1930 to 1935 when Museum professionals had no road map and were completely caught off guard when Depression hit. After citing examples of innovation and creativity shown Museums of the day she concludes with three lessons learned from these case studies that stood out to her and are quite relavent to us now.
Cl 1. Museums must not be afraid to innovate when crisis strikes.Cl 2. Museums do their best work when they embrace public service as a core missionCl 3. Museums have the potential to do even better when they think beyond the current crisis at hand and into the future. She felt that Depression-era Museums fell short in the third lesson:
She urges us to think beyond the current crisis and think into the future. So I asked myself….how can we as fundraisers think into the future at a time like this?One thing I know and that is that the world of technology is bearing down on all of us and it has to be a part of how we think about the future and the role is plays in lives of future Museum donors
Sarah Durham stated in the most recent issue of Fundraising SuccessIt is clear that non-profits will, increasingly, leverage the power of relationships through social media, e-mail, in-person requests, text messaging and more) to spark action around issues using new technologies. Right now it is clear that as fundraisers we can’t be spending enough time and resources into looking at new technologies and how they will become a key component of fundraising and relationship building strategies in the future. And we need to take responsibility for educating our boards on the values of these new technologies. If your board is like my board the thought of a Longyear Facebook page required a lengthy conversation with the younger members of our staff. It’s a well known fact that the demographics for social net-work users always trend older and more educated than most people believe.
It might be helpful to review the demographic breakdown….Twitter and YouTubeAcross the board audienceFacebookAudience of Mid 20’s and upMy Space Generally for teens and young adults 18-23While some say that these sites act as engagement devices and build branding familiarity, others are finding that you can’t write off social networks as they relate to fundraising. In the same article I cited from Fundraising Sucess Roy Jones from Liberty University is quoted as saying .
We find that if a donor is engaged in our on-line community, their average gift is 50% higher than a donor who is only responding through direct mailCreating a social networking plan that drives your Museum into the future, if you don’t already have one, is one way to think beyond the current crisis and into the future. 42 Fundraising
The second article from Museum that caught my eye Deliberately Unsustainable , has a brutally honest and forward thinking message for us…Nina Simon quotes Eric Siegel, director of the New York Hall of Science at the beginning of the article.
…as nonprofits, museums are built to survive, not to succeed. Unlike startups and rock stars, museums aren’t structured to shoot for the moon and burn up trying. They’re made to plod along.
Ms. Simon goes on to say that problems arise when the desire to sustain overcomes the desire to be superlative and more resources go to surviving than succeeding. But here is my favorite thing she has to say because I think it may just be the key to winning this battle….
“For some museums, awesomeness has never been part of the mission statement or core services.”
