Episode 3 - Resilience With Rickesh

“It shouldn’t have taken a pandemic for the charitable sector to figure out how to treat their people well.”

Welcome to The Intersection. A hub where we celebrate growth, service, authenticity and community.

How are you doing? Really. How ARE you doing?

A year after the start of this global pandemic, in the middle of Ontario Canada’s second lock down, we talk about how to combat pandemic fatigue, how do we call on resilience and grit without it becoming a “tool of toxicity”.

We also discuss the importance of balancing comforting your team and leading your team.

How are your organizations reckoning with how you are treating people and how they might be part of the ongoing challenges we experience even before 2020?

This is a marathon, not a sprint. Leadership if far more consultative and organizational structures are flatter than ever before and we think that is a good thing!

As leaders in the social good sector, we need to create a safe place for our staff to share. We need to be honest and authentic and encourage them to do the same. We also need to keep the team moving forward so that they can respond to the extraordinary needs of our communities effectively.

What do you think? How ARE you doing? We would love for you to join the conversation. You can find all our spaces at http://www.intersectionhub.ca/ We would love to hear from you.
