What I absolutely love, is that the book has a companion web site with worksheets and checklists from every chapter. As someone who designs and facilitates professional development projects for nonprofits, this is a trainer’s dream! Structured, but flexible schedule and plan.

So much, in fact, that organizations are boarding the train without a map, a travel bag, and even a destination.

For the past 15 years, I have been excited about nonprofit technology training design and delivery and it is what I will continue to focus on as part of my role at Zoetica over the coming years.

The driver provides live facilitation. I've written before about the power of live facilitators. To me, the opportunity for the bus to feel personal rests largely on the role of the driver/facilitator, whose job is less to drive the bus than to convey passengers safely to their destinations.

From her Berkeley-based office, Melinda Kramer facilitates an international network of women leaders. Melinda: Well, it might be helpful to explain the origin of Women's Global Green Action Network, because it helps to describe how we are structured. We do it in a number of ways. And we have been operating on those goals.

In ways beyond Marx’s most vivid nightmares, the poor and dispossessed now unwittingly train the very machines built to track their movements and terrorise their communities, or else replace their role in the labour process.
