‘Do it for Danielle’: New VeloSano funding continues innovative breast cancer research [Video]

At Cleveland Clinic, dollars raised by VeloSano have just been committed to three research projects aimed at better lives and better outcomes for breast cancer patients.VeloSano is the Clinic’s year-round community driven fundraising initiative to support life-saving cancer research. The flagship fundraising event, Bike to Cure, traditionally includes thousands of participants committing to raise funds and riding their bikes in/around downtown Cleveland. One hundred percent of the dollars raised are awarded directly to research by spring of the following year. Now $30 million strong, VeloSano just awarded 21 pilot grants—three of them for breast cancer projects. Lerner Researcher Dr. Angela Ting works in genomic medicine, and says the funding has given her team the green light.”Without VeloSano, we really wouldn’t be able to pursue the project that we proposed,” she told 3News. “We’re trying to understand how this particular gene called DNA JB 61 functions in breast cancer.”Sara Shookman has more: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/community/velosano/new-velosano-funding-breast-cancer-research/95-fed7d6fc-be71-410f-bc96-3fd5723c552c

The Influential Nonprofit, Episode 47 Emily Taylor: How Listening Can Help Raise More Money [Video]

✭Emily Taylor, the principal of teenyBIG, is an expert listener who is passionate about helping nonprofits find better ways to engage the people who matter to them. She guides teams in stepping outside of their day-to-day work in order to create stronger connections with their audiences, turning lackluster followers into enthusiastic supporters. Key Takeaways:✭ Build a strategy according to what results you get from listening to your target group. Be mindful of the words that people use and value and turn what you know into something actionable. ✭ When you’re listening to your people, they’ll feel more invested in your organization. Use their words and bring it to life. Everything you need is already in the room. ✭ Apply listening in every interaction that you have with your target group. Allow them to have a voice so that you can listen to it. Give out feedback forms, ask questions on social media, have a QnA in webinars, give out small surveys in your email marketing – make it a part of every engagement. ✭ Communicating effectively starts with a shift in mindset. It’s not all about creating the perfect message, it’s about crafting the message into something that speaks the language of the receiver. You’ll only be able to do that if you start listening. “I grew up really shy and wanted to connect with people so one of the things that I did – just listening to what people are saying and finding what I wanted to talk about and connecting it to that. I’d listen for the words that they were talking about, what excited them, and be able to change my wording to what was hot in the playground and what connected with people.”- Emily TaylorReach out to Emily Taylor at:◉ Website: https://teenybig.com/ ◉ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-taylor-teenybig/ ◉ Email: emily@teenybig.com Be more confident, credible & convincing to your board & supporters without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.Learn to manage your mindset, lead yourself and others more effectively and have the meaningful conversations that drive your most important work.

Build an A Team Best Audiobook Summary By Whitney Johnson [Video]

Build an A Team By Whitney Johnson – Free Audiobook Summary and ReviewLead each person on your team up the learning curve.What’s the secret to having an engaged and productive team? It’s having a plan for developing all employees–no matter where they are on their personal learning curves.Better morale and higher performance happen through learning, argues Whitney Johnson. In over twenty years of coaching, investing, and consulting, Johnson has seen that employees need continuous learning and fresh challenges to stay motivated.The best bosses know this, and they know how to make it happen by thoughtfully designing people’s jobs around the skills they have today as well as the skills they’ll need to be even more valuable tomorrow. That’s how entire organizations stay competitive in an unpredictable, rapidly changing business environment.In this book, Johnson explains how to become one of those bosses and how to build your A-team by:Identifying what your employees already know and what they need to learnDesigning their jobs to maximize engagement and learningApplying a seven-step process for leading each person up their learning curveWe all want opportunities to learn, experiment, and grow in our jobs. When our bosses work with us to help us leap to new challenges, the result is a team that knows how to thrive, no matter what the future holds.Great read, applies well to educational leadership!This book was such a great read. It made me think and assess where am I on the S-curve and whether I should disrupt myself to continue. Education is a different type of organization, as some teachers would love to keep teaching the same grade for the rest of their career. Sometimes that’s great, because they bring something new to the classroom each year. But it could also become rote and routine, lacking the passion of being in the sweet spot. As a school principal, this book was invaluable. It helped me to think about where my teachers and staff are on their S curves, and how we can work together to disrupt or continue their trajectories. I would like to see my staff’s answers on an S-curve survey in aggregate so I can better make decisions for the overall organization and the individual people within it.Did you love our upload of Build an A Team By Whitney Johnson – Free Audiobook Summary and Review?
