Looking Forward®: It's All About Opportunities!

Hi everyone.

Today we’re going to discuss a topic that affects every one of us: OUR BRAINS. More specifically, we’re going to look at memory and our brains. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we’ll look at what we’ve learned in recent years about the brain and its capacity to remember things, what purposes memories serve, some things you can do to improve your memory, and other things, too.

To help us explore this hugely important subject, we’ve brought on a highly qualified expert. She’s Dr. Jessica Payne.

Dr. Jessica Payne is Professor of Psychology and the Andrew J. McKenna Family Collegiate Chair at the University of Notre Dame, where she directs the Sleep, Stress, and Memory Lab.

Her research focuses on how sleep and stress independently and interactively influence learning, memory, emotion, and creativity. She teaches various courses in Psychology and Neuroscience, including a popular course entitled “The Sleeping Brain” for which she won Harvard University’s Bok Center Award for teaching excellence and Notre Dame’s Frank O’Malley award for undergraduate teaching and service.

Dr. Payne is also dedicated to applying her research findings to business organizations, striving to help leaders understand how to work with, rather than against, the natural abilities of the human brain. Her work has been profiled in the New York Times, Businessweek and MSN, Scientific American, the Huffington Post, CNN, USA Today, Bloomberg Business Week, National Geographic, and many other media outlets.

Dr. Payne’s postdoctoral fellowship was split between Harvard Medical School’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard University’s Psychology Department. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology/Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Arizona.

Hi everyone. Today we’re going to continue our conversation about a vital, multi-billion-dollar industry that seeks to help societies and people around the world function better, including in the communities where you live. I’m speaking about fund raising.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we covered such topics as what the different kinds of fund raising are, how fund raising has evolved over the past few decades, differences in how funds are raised around the world, and COVID 19’s impact on the fund-raising industry thus far.

In Part 2 of this series, we’ll speak more about the latest fund-raising approaches, what the near-term future of fund raising may look like, what OPPORTUNITIES the industry has to offer those in the know, and how you can determine if a non-profit cause is worth your donor dollars, volunteer time, or other support.

To help us do that, we’re again going to speak with our great fund-raising expert, Matt Hugg. Matt is an author and instructor in nonprofit management in the US and abroad. He is president and founder of Nonprofit.Courses, an on-demand, eLearning educational resource for nonprofit leaders, staff, board members, and volunteers, with thousands of courses in nearly every aspect of nonprofit work.

Matt has taught nonprofit management at several universities and technology companies, online and in person in the United States, Africa, Asia and Europe. Matt’s past work includes fundraising for the University of the Arts, Ursinus College, University of Cincinnati and the Boy Scouts of America. He has a BS from Juniata College and an MA in Philanthropy and Development from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota.
