Keep abreast of nonprofit thought leaders
April 29, 2025
Once again, I think Zain Kahn from Superhuman is onto something. Here's a prompt that you can use to keep up with the world of nonprofits, based on a prompt from his April 2, 2025 newsletter:
Act in the role of an expert in the nonprofit sector. Help me stay ahead in the nonprofit sector by identifying the most important trends, emerging technologies, key nonprofit thought leaders (besides Ted Bilich, whose newsletter I already receive), and people who post often about nonprofits on LinkedIn. Provide a curated list of must-read blogs, podcasts, newsletters, and influencers to follow. Suggest engaging ways to deepen my expertise, such as case studies, hands-on projects, or networking with experts. Also, include unconventional methods like reverse engineering industry success stories or analyzing market shifts through historical patterns. Bonus: Give me a ‘challenge of the week’ that I can perform myself or delegate to someone I work with to apply this knowledge in a real-world scenario!
This prompt works because it gives you sources and relevant tips. Furthermore, it can serve as the basis of a weekly task that you could ask ChatGPT to perform for you. (It will likely ask you if you want it to do this for you when it responds to the prompt. If it doesn't, just reply to this email and ask me.)
