I really like this book. I applaud Rosetta and Trista for their ability to bring sound career advice in a fun engaging manner. The book is a must read for everyone that wants to accelerate their career and build social capital-which is far more important than any type of capital. You will not regret purchasing this book. Happy Reading!!!
In the din of professional development, branding, and networking advice Trista and Rosetta have written a book that clarifies steps nonprofit professionals can take to advance their careers in a sector lacking a clear career path. It's like they wrote my professional development to-do list for me! When I'm feeling stuck, I can open to almost any chapter and pick an activity to renew my focus on for the week or month or year. They helped me consider creative ways to look at the skills I have and develop skills I want for the future. I thought I had no skills in fundraising until I read this book and realized that by serving as chair for a board's development committee, I was not just honing leadership skills but definitely becoming skilled as a fundraiser! The other great aspect of this book is that all the advice is in one convenient place! Save your time scrolling through archived blog posts and invest it in yourself as a changemaker. We're lucky to have the voices of Rosetta and Trista in our sector, and I recommend their book.
There is nothing in this book which can't be found in any one of thousands of career management books. Furthermore, there is nothing specific to the nonprofit sector.
