#121) Nonprofit Life, Mentorship, Surrounding Yourself with Good People | Scott Whitaker

Today, we’re going to talk about dealing with people and improving your networking strategy -- all so you can improve your professional life or job search. That’s right -- it’s time to “win friends and influence people.”And for today’s show, I brought on the best guest possible for the topic. Scott Whitaker is a director for the Diocese of Austin, where he’s in charge of fundraising, development, and communication in a diocese with over 3 million Catholics. The reason Scott is on the show is because he’s a great networker and communicator, and a living example of how to respectfully deal with other people in a world that values money and fighting your way to the top. So today, we’ll touch upon what it’s like working in the nonprofit world, but most importantly, we will cover how to deal with people in your networking approach. Here's what I asked Scott:Let’s cover the non-profit angle for just one moment. Why do you work in a non-profit? How is life typically different from the corporate world? Where have you had to use networking and dealing with people in your past or current position?What’s your philosophy in dealing with people?What specific advice would you have for a job seeker who is looking to break into an industry or apply for a job?Resources Mentioned in the Show:Connect with Scott on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwhitaker95/Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-villanueva-cprw/Austin Diocese webpage: https://austindiocese.org/Catholic Foundation - Diocese of Austin: https://catholicfdn.org/ Hosted on Acast.
