Have you heard of “thought” or “consulting” volunteering? Watch this 1 minute clip of me talking about the concept and then respond in the comments to one or more of the questions below. Let’s start a conversation!
Tell me, as a manager of volunteers:
- What further questions do you have about the concept?
- Are you doing this in your organization or in your own work?
- What does it look like for you?
OR
As a person who volunteers:
- What excites you about the idea of thought or consulting volunteering?
- What could you do as a volunteer if you gave your time only in coffee meetings or 1 hour conversations on the phone or Skype?
- Have you done this type of very short term volunteering? If so, what did you do and did you consider it volunteering?
(Thanks to Christopher Bowers for taping this off-the-cuff segment for me!)
Love the idea of “Flash Advisory Board” and love the video! Thanks for letting us into your world and into your thoughts with your own consulting volunteering moment – you just modeled what you are talking about! Very cool and there are so many people out there that have so many great ideas to offer – this is the perfect way to capture that! Awesome!
Thanks Denise, it’s great to hear your thoughts on this too.
