195: Leading a Nonprofit in a Post Pandemic Working Environment (Katherine Lambert)SUMMARYThe pandemic put a unique pressure on nonprofit organizations and its leaders to do more with less, and adapt to new technologies and structures. As we usher in a post Covid-19 future, what will the new normal in the nonprofit sector look like? In episode #195 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, we speak with veteran philanthropic leader, Katherine Lambert, about finding balance post-pandemic and moving from surviving to thriving. While the sector sometimes lags in innovation, the pandemic has forced organizations to adapt which has brought positive transformation to how they communicate, engage donors and volunteers, and raise funds. A philanthropic organization’s work is as effective as the people who perform it, and Katherine shares how they have revamped work culture, hours and practices to find and retain quality talent.

017: How Do You Move from Manager to Senior Leader at Your Nonprofit? (Katherine Lambert)SUMMARYKatherine Lambert is passionate about professional development in the nonprofit sector and is a champion for internal candidates who can serve as senior leaders. Her advice provides great insight for other senior leaders who want to better develop their talent, but also provides many clues for those pursuing a new job in the charitable sector.  Katherine talks about how she allocates professional development funds in her organization, and exactly what she asks in interviews to determine whether someone has the requisite skills but also the intangible “fit” dynamic that will better predict success. How can we better orient and onboard our talent - in the first 30 days - to assure long-term success?  How do we better clarify job descriptions and job plans to align with the organization’s strategic plan, as well as assure a professional development path is clear going forward?  Find out these answers and many more resources in this episode.ABOUT KATHERINEKatherine joined the Alzheimer’s Association, Western Carolina Chapter, in 2014 as its Chief Executive Officer.  She works with a volunteer and staff team across the 49 counties in Central and Western North Carolina, and in 2017, her role expanded to serving as the Regional Leader for all chapters in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.  Prior to leading the Alzheimer’s Association, Katherine served as Executive Vice President for Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council for five years and as Chief Development Officer for an additional three years.  She also founded and led The Lambert Group for four years providing strategic planning, fund development and training resources for non-profit organizations.  Preceding her non-profit career, she spent six years in the financial services and headhunting industries.
