I’ve been traveling and speaking this week at both BloomCon<\/a> and the Peer to Peer Professional Forum Conference<\/a>, so no Facebook Live show.<\/p>\n

But I did want to encourage you to check out last week’s show<\/a> where I talked about six different strategies for being more strategic and reacting less.<\/strong><\/a> That’s a frequent refrain from nonprofit communications staff: “We are always reacting to whatever is coming up and never have time to be really strategic in our communications.”<\/p>\n

\"Stop<\/a><\/p>\n

Next Tuesday, March 6, I’ll be sharing five tips for creating your own professional development plan<\/a> as a nonprofit communications pro. You can get a reminder here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’d like us to send you reminders for all of our Facebook Live shows, you can subscribe here.<\/a><\/p>\n

P.S. I highly recommend Chrome’s Video Speed Controller plugin<\/a> to let you speed up videos you want to watch online. I use it all the time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
