Navigating Your Nonprofit Career & Creating Positive Workplace Culture (Michelle Hamilton)

Nov 1, 2019

On Episode 6 of The Path podcast, Michelle and I had a great discussion on all three phases of a nonprofit career:  getting started and navigating your first nonprofit job; advancing into leadership as you move through your mid-career; and maximizing leadership opportunities once you achieve them.  Michelle also shares great resources and tips to stay organized amidst a busy nonprofit lifestyle and how to develop a positive workplace culture.
