Description

In this episode, we’re joined by Erica Keswin, the three-time (!) Wall Street Journal bestselling author on all-things-great human leadership. While not a nonprofiteer, herself, Erica brings the realness on what the social sector can be doing better for its people. (Spoiler alert: much of it doesn’t cost one penny.)


Along the way, we dive into —



  • The need for human leadership in a tech-driven world

  • How great human leaders connect people to purpose, connect people to each other, and connect people to themselves

  • Why soft skills (really) are the new hard skills

  • How "the absence of intentionality is a recipe for resentment"

  • One wish Erica would make to boost all organizations everywhere


It’s practical, it’s honest, and (as always) there’s good nonsense along the way. If you know a nonprofiteer we should invite on the show, let us know at hello@goodnonsense.org!
