Nonprofits, brace yourselves–host Julia Patrick sits down with Katie Warnock, CEO and founder of Staffing Boutique, to dive into the challenges of nonprofit staffing in 2025. Against the backdrop of a multi-generational workforce and the increasing integration of AI, Katie offers helpful strategies for navigating these complexities.
Katie highlights the nuances of managing a workforce spanning five generations, opining, “You need to be able to manage such a different range of thinkers… how do you maneuver around that?” This challenge is compounded in nonprofits, where older board members often struggle to relate to younger staff, especially regarding hybrid work models and digital communication preferences.
Katie also shares her own journey of embracing #AI to enhance efficiency. Initially resistant, she eventually leveraged AI tools to create marketing videos, demonstrating the power of adaptability. As she puts it, “Once we swallow the pill… we need to look at AI as a tool to make our jobs more efficient.”
From communication chaos to staffing dramas, Katie’s insights are the survival guide nonprofit leaders didn’t know they needed. With a blend of wit, wisdom, and real-world examples, she delivers actionable advice for navigating the complex, multi-generational, AI-enhanced, hybrid-working, slightly-stressed-out world of nonprofit leadership!
