    71. Designing Learning with Beth Cougler Blom

    In this episode of the Strategy Made Simple podcast Beth Cougler Blom explains how we can make better learning experiences by taking a learning design approach. She explains how her experience in learning design roles contribute to making better trainings and facilitating well with groups. We discuss how meeting ground rules and setting out the objectives for the learning experience. She also explains her experience in starting up her business and how her path led from helping with post-secondary learning experiences to helping social impact organizations. I think the experiences and methodologies that she shares can contribute to leaders working with teams or those that are looking to help others see new perspectives. Beth also interviewed me on her podcast Facilitating on Purpose where I was able to talk about how we can present value. We specifically talked about how we can emphasize the value that the people we're communicating with specifically care about by changing how we talk about what we're do and sell. You can listen to that podcast here. --- Be the first to know when the Strategy Made Simple online course on marketing for social enterprise is live by providing your email address: https://forms.gle/iTEqneZtBhN8YxxW7 You can continue the conversation by joining Social Economy Connect.

    70. Lauren Lee & RaY Works: Benefits of Integrated Nonprofits

    Lauren Lee is the social enterprise manager at Resource Assistance for Youth. The main social enterprise at RaY is a moving operation called RaY Works, where they help nonprofits move between office spaces, as well as helping people in residential support programs move between homes. Because RaY Works is a program within the larger nonprofit, there are various benefits to both the nonprofit and the social enterprise. RaY Works gets to take advantage of extensive administration support and support for their trainees, while RaY is able to more quickly and easily help people move that are in their supportive housing units. Lauren and I also discuss the challenges of mentoring and training employees with barriers to employment, how they were able to focus their efforts on a particular kind of moving, and challenges in previous jobs balancing impact with revenue generation. --- Be the first to know when the Strategy Made Simple online course on marketing for social enterprise is live by providing your email address: https://forms.gle/iTEqneZtBhN8YxxW7 You can continue the conversation by joining Social Economy Connect.
