Background
Janet Boguch, Principal of Non-Profit Works, since 1988 founded TableTalks Seminars for Nonprofit Professionals in 1990 to meet the needs of nonprofit professionals who wanted to learn from each other, gain new knowledge, learn new skills and to discuss timely issues and topics relevant to managing and leading nonprofit organizations. There are now several peer learning groups tailored to particular professional roles and functions.
TableTalks Peer Learning Groups
are tailored to meet very specific needs. Currently there are cohorts in the following areas:
for Nonprofit Executive Leaders (two cohorts)
for Development/Fundraising Professionals (two cohorts)
for Major Gift/Planned Giving Professionals (two cohorts)
for Special Events Professionals
for Program/Service Delivery Professionals
Why are TableTalks such an effective forum?
Described by participants as 'creative, stimulating and supportive', TableTalks Seminars are facilitated, personalized peer-learning groups are comprised of 10 to 12 participants that meet as a cohort on a monthly basis for three hour sessions that are facilitated by Janet Boguch. The seminar series is designed to meet the needs of the participants in a collegial atmosphere. TableTalks is a forum for discussing practical solutions and brainstorming ideas in a confidential, safe and comfortable setting. Sessions are held in Janet's homey Capitol Hill/Seattle office; parking is accessible and free!
Each cohort uses its own listserv to communicate and share resources between monthly sessions.
At each monthly session, specific topics are based on registrants’ requests. Examples have included: Effective Teams; Board Evaluations; Burn-out; Getting Started in Planned Giving; Developing a Philanthropic Organizational Culture, Useful Social Media Networking Strategies, among many others.
The cohort group often selects a book to read and discuss. Examples have included: John Gardner's On Leadership, Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of Teams; Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point, articles from the Harvard Business Review, Jim Collin’s Good to Great, Penelope Burk's Donor Centered Fundraising, among many others.
