Learning for Good

Heather Burright created Learning for Good to fill a genuine gap: there was no L&D podcast specifically for nonprofit professionals. With 173 episodes and a perfect 5.0-star rating from an impressive 53 reviews, she has clearly proven the demand exists. The show covers instructional design, leadership development, and change management through the specific lens of mission-driven organizations. Heather's focus is practical and empowering. She wants nonprofit L&D leaders to stop being seen as order-takers and start operating as strategic partners to their executive teams. Recent episodes have tackled personal branding for L&D professionals, diagnosing real training needs versus assumed ones, employee retention through better development programs, and women's leadership in the nonprofit sector. She also publishes episodes on essential skills nonprofits will need going forward. The nonprofit angle makes this show unique, but the advice translates well beyond that sector. Resource constraints, skeptical leadership, the need to demonstrate impact with limited budgets -- these challenges show up everywhere, and Heather addresses them head-on. Her background as a leadership development consultant means she brings both strategic thinking and hands-on facilitation experience. If you work in a nonprofit, NGO, or any resource-constrained organization where you have to do more with less, Heather speaks your language. And even corporate L&D professionals will find her perspective on influence and organizational change refreshingly honest.
