Origins of Career Action Steps

Career Action Steps began as a networking tool and an update to those interested in the success of my business, FundraisingTalent. The “Action Steps” section was popular and — reminding me of how “The Simpsons” spun off from the Tracy Ullman Show — the segment became more popular than the host, and Career Actions Steps was born. That was years ago, and hundreds of Career Action Steps later these messages have become a welcome and thought provoking encouragement to fundraising executives, nonprofit leaders, and many others from around the US and several parts of the world.
