  • De-Stress! Self Care in Nonprofit IT Roles with Carolyn Woodard
    Nov 22 2024

    Are you feeling burned out?
    Nonprofit IT can be exhausting. Learn how to de-stress to better tackle your job and help your nonprofit succeed.

    There is so much stress in managing nonprofit IT.

    There are conflicting agendas, tight budgets, and unrealistic demands.
    A lot of us have been burned by IT projects in the past that still give us nightmares. The tool was expensive, required a huge project to implement, took a ton of time, didn’t work, everyone hated it, the training was terrible, and the vendor or consultants or your boss left you holding the bag.

    Some executives really do understand how crucial functioning IT is to your nonprofit – to your work life and to your ability to achieve your mission.
    But even if you are lucky enough to have a lot of leadership, IT management is still tough. It touches every staff member and even little issues can make your work unworkable. Don’t get us started on cybersecurity fears.

    While you work on the big picture of IT management at your nonprofit, don’t forget to work on managing your own stress and avoiding burnout.
    With all the recent research and attention paid to self-care in nonprofit careers we wanted to spend a webinar focused particularly on
    de-stress and self-care in nonprofit IT roles.

    Director of Marketing and recovering IT Director at large and small nonprofits Carolyn Woodard explores the latest research on the benefits of de-stressing and some tips on incorporating self-care in your nonprofit IT management routine.

    If your first reaction to the idea of self care is that you are too busy to put it on your to-do list, this is the podcast episode for you.

  • Consejos Para Organizar Archivos en la Nube con Norwin Herrera
    Nov 11 2024

    Las mejores prácticas para organizar sus archivos en la nube para lograr seguridad y eficiencia.

    La organización de archivos en la nube es algo que puede parecer una prioridad menor, en particular con el aumento de las herramientas de búsqueda potentes y ahora con el auge de la búsqueda con inteligencia artificial (IA). Carolyn habló con el invitado Norwin Herrera, IT Business Manager Team Lead de Community IT, para responder a preguntas sobre por qué es importante crear un sistema de organización de archivos, tanto para una mayor ciberseguridad en el mundo de la IA como para la productividad y la eficiencia de su personal. Los consejos para la organización de archivos en la nube incluyen priorizar el proyecto, etiquetar claramente los archivos y crear políticas de gobernanza sólidas y capacitar al personal sobre sus expectativas en cuanto al etiquetado y el guardado de archivos.

    Norwin ofrece algunas razones para etiquetar con precisión sus archivos y defiende la necesidad de organizarse en línea. También ofrece consejos para lograr que su liderazgo participe en la definición de sus políticas de organización de archivos y vea las ventajas estratégicas de priorizar este proyecto.
