I blog at least twice a month, usually on the first and third Tuesday of the month. If I have more to say, I’ll blog every Tuesday. And I also sometimes take an entire month off from blogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m an internationally-recognized trainer<\/a>, researcher and consultant. My work is focused on communications<\/a>, volunteer involvement, community engagement<\/a>, and management for nonprofits, NGOs, and government initiatives. I’m considered a pioneer regarding the research, promotion and practice of virtual volunteering, including virtual teams, microvolunteering and crowdsourcing, and I’m a veteran manager of various local and international initiatives. Here’s the full story about me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people know my work under the banner of Coyote Communications<\/strong>. That’s still me. But I’m using Coyote Broad<\/strong> more and more because I am writing more and more about travel, adventure and other subjects far beyond my professional work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to know when I update this blog? Follow me on social media: I’m on Facebook<\/a>, BlueSky<\/a>, Mastodon<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a> and Reddit<\/a> (I moderate and facilitate several Reddit communities).<\/p>\n\n\n If you have benefited from this blog or other parts of my web site<\/a> or my YouTube videos<\/a> and would like to support<\/a> the time that went into researching information, developing material, preparing articles, updating pages, etc. (I receive no funding for this work), here is how you can help<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n This blog used to be on posterous.com<\/a>; sadly, posterous was bought and dismantled by Twitter<\/a>. Before that, I used forumer.com<\/a> for years as my blog host, because it was simple and blogs on the site could be read by people using older operating systems. I was satisfied until my last year on the site, when customer service became non-existent and the site became wretchedly slow.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to the professional blog of me, Jayne Cravens, where I provide advice, commentary, news and announcements related to nonprofits, non-governmental organizations (ngos), communications, community engagement, volunteerism, aid & development, management and women’s empowerment.
