Listen "Nonprofit Word Salad Part 2"
Episode Synopsis
In the nonprofit sector, we can sometimes overuse words to the point where they completely lose their meaning. Other times, words have an underlying connotation that can alienate your stakeholders. And then there are those pesky words that no one understands, but we use them anyway to sound smart! How does this impact our communication with funders, clients, and staff? Does this really help us effectively share our vision and impact with those we serve? (Probably not.) In this lively conversation with April Carter of Momentum Nonprofit Partners and Carrie Burke of Kemmons Wilson Family Foundation, we look at words and phrases that we should all consider rethinking or eliminating. This is a continuation of the conversation from our first season, and we have even more words and phrases that get under our skin!
