Do Gooder in MEYour nonprofit professional development program lives in this podcast.I recently became aware of Mary Hiland’s podcast and binged on three episodes: Interview with Gloria Feldt on women’s power (episode 126); must-have tips to increase productivity (episode 120): and Parton McDowell on professional development (episode 123). Mary’s decades of experience in the sector, coupled with her learning orientation, makes her the perfect host for a show that features such accomplished executives. Her generosity in offering free tools such as guides for renewal demonstrate her commitment to the “whole” professional and ensuring that they stay with the sector for the long-term. Listen to this podcast anytime you need a boost and you will leave inspired to do more than ever thought possible.
