But maybe you're thinking...
Why not use a spreadsheet?
You can do the same with your accounting... your gift recording... your donor's names - but there are really good solutions for each that record the basics and let you do so much more! Doesn't your career deserve more?
My employer offers something like this.
Some do. But what if you leave? Can you carry that information with you? Besides, even if you can, is grabbing your valuable professional development data the first thing you think of as you clean out your office?
My professional association offers this.
A lot do. But what if your employer can't pay the dues this year? Can you still access the information?
I don't need the reports and the planning.
Maybe not now, but as you start recording more and more information, you'll want to know where the gaps are, and start seeing the bigger picture in your career.
My job doesn't have professional development goals.
Yes, but you should set your own goals! Even if you don't aspire to be the boss or change jobs, you owe it to yourself to record what you do so you can make plans for what you need or want - or for what your nonprofit's mission needs or wants.
I'm a volunteer. Why do I need Record Your Success!?
If you're a volunteer, especially if you volunteer with more than one nonprofit, Record Your Success! is a great tool to help you grow personally, and show your value to every nonprofit you serve.
I'm not going to change jobs.
It may not be your decision. Nonprofits change their personnel needs all of the time. Recording your professional development accomplishments shows your next employer how seriously you take your work - and can show your value to your current employer if they're contemplating a change.
I'm a nonprofit founder.
There is SO MUCH you need to learn when you're starting a nonprofit. Recording it in one place keeps you on track to meeting your goals. Plus, as you hire or bring in volunteers, you can offer Record Your Success! as a benefit - a good faith display of how much you value their own growth.
