Beyond Board Training: How to Create Real Change in 2025

Send us Fan MailWelcome Jeffrey Wilcox and Joan Brown from Third Sector Company, as they deliver new ideas in 2025 about the pivotal role of ‘interim leadership and board training’ in today’s nonprofit sector. Jeffrey kicks off this informative conversation by defining the concept of interim leadership as "helping not-for-profit organizations to take a pause in building a bridge between their prideful past and a hopeful future." The discussion amplifies how interim leadership is not merely a stopgap but a profound, transformational process that helps organizations align with their mission and prepare for sustainable growth.Joan describes how successful board training goes beyond checking boxes; it’s about creating a learning environment that engages and empowers board members, saying, "We know that learning has taken place when we see the needle moved… If there's no difference, that was us talking to someone." Their insights will challenge you and your nonprofit to rethink traditional approaches to governance, focusing instead on iterative processes, tailored strategies, and preparing for inevitable leadership transitions. Don’t miss some of these key takeaways,  including the necessity of a dynamic board training agenda, the importance of involving senior staff in governance learning, and how to cultivate future board and organizational leaders. The fast paced dialog, hosted by Julia Patrick, also underscores the role of boards in navigating external changes like AI, generational transitions, and evolving funding landscapes. #NonprofitLeadership #BoardTraining #InterimLeadershipFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: [email protected] us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
