Download or read book Directing Fitness written by Zachary Columbia and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years the Fitness Director role has been isolated to managing training and sales, but this outdated model falls short in providing the Gym Owner with the freedom to work on the business, instead of being stuck in the business. In this book, I share my experience in managing the complexities of the fitness industry and explain why the Fitness Director is so critical to not only the success of a training studio, but to growing the Owner's investment. Providing a detailed guide for Gym Owners and Directors, this book redefines the Fitness Director and their pivotal role of connecting fitness to business.Zach Columbia began his personal training career in 2010 while attending Northern Arizona University. He loved the fitness industry, but being a trainer was not a part of his long-term plan and he graduated with a degree in business administration. After a few years and several career moves, Zach decided his passion for fitness was too great to be happy working in any other field. He started coaching at Pulse Fitness in Scottsdale, AZ in 2015, where he is currently the Fitness Director. Pulse has experienced incredible success with Zach as Director, inspiring him to write Directing Fitness and launch the Directing Fitness Coaching Program where he mentors other fitness professionals. Zach believes the key to his success comes from the ability to connect his understanding of business with his passion for fitness.
Download or read book Joan Garry s Guide to Nonprofit Leadership written by Joan Garry and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonprofit leadership is messy Nonprofits leaders are optimistic by nature. They believe with time, energy, smarts, strategy and sheer will, they can change the world. But as staff or board leader, you know nonprofits present unique challenges. Too many cooks, not enough money, an abundance of passion. It’s enough to make you feel overwhelmed and alone. The people you help need you to be successful. But there are so many obstacles: a micromanaging board that doesn’t understand its true role; insufficient fundraising and donors who make unreasonable demands; unclear and inconsistent messaging and marketing; a leader who’s a star in her sector but a difficult boss… And yet, many nonprofits do thrive. Joan Garry’s Guide to Nonprofit Leadership will show you how to do just that. Funny, honest, intensely actionable, and based on her decades of experience, this is the book Joan Garry wishes she had when she led GLAAD out of a financial crisis in 1997. Joan will teach you how to: Build a powerhouse board Create an impressive and sustainable fundraising program Become seen as a ‘workplace of choice’ Be a compelling public face of your nonprofit This book will renew your passion for your mission and organization, and help you make a bigger difference in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an environment of increased interdependency and collaborations among non-profits, for-profits, and governmental organizations, researchers and practitioners have begun to identify the need for a distinctive set of values, skills, and competencies for effective non-profit management. Underlining the relationship between these two sectors, Effective Non-Profit Management: Context, Concepts, and Competencies clarifies the emerging links between the public and non-profit sectors at the local, national, and global levels. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of a recent issue and a case study. They include discussion questions, a listing of Web resources, and a review of terms at the end of each chapter. The introductory chapter discusses non-profit organizations, their phenomenal growth, the different categories of non-profits, and the scope and significance of this sector. The second chapter focuses on explaining the linkages among non-profits, for-profits, and government organizations. The next couple of chapters provide a detailed discussion of essential non-profit law, non-profit governance, human resource management, resource acquisition and management, marketing, technology, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and effectiveness. Discussing four major developments in the non-profit environment that have implications for the future of this sector, the book: Covers all major topics in non-profit management including recent issues that affect such management Provides up-to-date information on emerging issues in non-profit management, including transparency, technology, legal, and other socio-political issues Includes input from an advisory group of leading non-profit executives Details best practices, practical tips and examples, and lists of Internet resources Going beyond the usual coverage of government contracting with non-profits, the book provides a focused discussion on the linkages between public administration and the non-profit sector. In an approach that balances theory and application, the book is a guide to the practical art of forming, managing, and leading non-profit organizations.
