Empathic Management in the Nonprofit Sector with Carrie Ricex - a podcast by The Goldenburg Group, LLC
from 2017-12-19T15:05:42
Sometimes, we are so focused on the mission that we forget to build our organization’s sense of team, communication, and empathy. Consequently, it’s not surprising that so many of us burn out multiple times in a nonprofit career.
To help us focus on empathetic leadership, we invite Carrie Rice, a nonprofit consultant based in San Francisco. Carrie specializes in using empathic techniques to build individual donor programs, board effectiveness and staff leadership training.
We explore empathic practices to improve relationships among staff, stakeholders, and the community you serve.
