Estimating Nonprofit Corporation Asset Values (Part I of III) This is a three-part article that focuses on valuing nonprofit corporation assets. Valuation analysts are commonly engaged to provide fair market value guidance related to nonprofit business transactions. Nonprofit businesses are often involved in arms-length transactions. Common transactions include royalty payments for the use of intellectual property, royalty revenue earned by licensing intellectual property, sales of assets, and purchases of assets.

This series provides an example of certain steps and procedures that can be used to value the assets of a nonprofit business. Read More »

How Not to Use Duff & Phelps Data “In God we trust. All others must bring data.” This famous saying has been attributed to various people, but it implies that when data is presented, the conclusion can be trusted. However, the Ohio District Court’s decision in Rover Pipeline, LLC v. 10.55 Acres of Land, More or Less, in Ashland County, Ohio, et al., demonstrates that data is only trustworthy if it is understood and applied correctly. The case, in which the expert’s valuation report was discarded due in large part to the misuse of data, demonstrates the risk of misapplication of data in valuation reports and highlights how the misuse of data can prevent an accurate assessment of value.

Put Your Audience’s Needs First When Preparing for a Speech

When you’re giving a speech or presentation, it’s not your job to get the audience to like you. In fact, if the audience is paying too close attention to you, they may actually miss your message. Instead, focus on being present and staying attuned to your audience’s needs. From the moment you begin to prepare, think about who will be in the room. Each time you practice, maintain focus on your imaginary audience. The moment you catch yourself going into autopilot, stop and restart your sentence. And right before you speak, take a moment to breathe and look directly at your audience. Then begin with a “you” statement, e.g “Each of you in this room…” or “I want to share a story with you about the power of…” This immediately signals to your audience that you are there to help them.

Find Daily Opportunities to Mentor Junior Employees

Many companies have formal, hierarchical mentoring programs nested somewhere in their HR department. But evidence shows that these programs alone won’t sufficiently engage or develop junior talent. If you’re interested in mentoring, think about becoming a “mentor of the moment,” by seeking development opportunities in daily interactions. Check in regularly with junior colleagues. See how things are going and offer support or resources as appropriate. Ask questions about their development such as: “In a perfect world, what would you be doing in 10 years? How can I help make it happen?” When you observe a junior employee in action, make time to provide reinforcing feedback about what you found most successful and what you learned. This type of mentoring, while informal, often pays off big for organizations in terms of better retention and more loyalty and commitment among employees.

This tip is adapted from “Real Mentorship Starts with Company Culture, Not Formal Programs,” by W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith
