Nonprofit leadership development is about far more than offering training. It’s about creating an environment where people want to stay, grow, and contribute meaningfully to your mission. In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author and workplace growth champion Julie Winkle Giulioni, who challenges nonprofits to rethink how they approach staff development and build truly supportive cultures of learning. You’ll hear strategies for building a culture of learning in nonprofits and why effective leadership training programs for nonprofit staff require more than a single workshop.We explore why training alone cannot drive behavior change, how managers can become true growth partners, and the role technology (especially AI) now plays in sustaining learning.▶️ Create Environments Where People Stay, Grow, and Thrive with Julie Winkle Giulioni ▶️ Key Points:00:03:24 Julie’s winding career path and early lessons in learning00:09:41 Why training isn’t enough to drive real change00:15:03 A manager’s influence on performance and growth00:24:34 How L&D leaders can operationalize better learning environments00:28:37 Bringing learning into everyday workResources from this episode: Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go by Julie Winkle GiulioniJoin the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveWe want to hear from you.
