We want to create meaningful learning solutions that fit in the flow of work and yield real results for the organization and for the staff.That's why in this podcast, we will not only explore instructional design and leadership development best practices, but we will also explore change management, belonging, and influence - helping you build the case for the solutions your organization needs so you can show up confidently in conversations with other senior leaders, subject matter experts, staff, and partners.If we haven't met yet, I'm Heather, and I’ve been in your shoes. I'm a learning and development consultant and the founder and principal consultant at Skill Masters Market. Before starting Skill Masters Market, I worked for a large national nonprofit where I led learning and development leadership initiatives. I know what it’s like to need to develop your staff quickly and effectively, and to build the relationships and cut through the organizational layers to be successful. With an eye for the larger strategy and the creative design process, I've created hundreds of learning experiences - in-person, self-paced, and virtual classroom - and have worked with dozens of leaders and their staff to help them achieve their organization’s professional development goals. So if you're ready to bust through the barriers and start creating behavior change in your nonprofit, this podcast is for you. Let's dive in. It's Learning for Good.

Customer Reviews
A must listen for mid-large nonprofits!
Heather has such a thoughtful way of sharing how learning is integrated into every aspect of nonprofit work. If you know that a one size fits all training doesn’t work. This podcast is for you.
Great Leadership Insights and Strategies
This leadership development podcast is packed with fantastic insights and practical strategies that you can put into action immediately. Heather has a remarkable ability to simplify complex concepts effectively. Her latest episode on "Leadership training vs coaching" gave me a clear understanding of both terms and how to apply them in organizations. It's essential for every organization to prioritize employee training and development, and this podcast serves as an excellent starting point. Thanks, Heather, for your practical wisdom and easy-to-implement strategies! Chichi Ukomadu | Start That Business Podcast.
