206. Next Gen Nonprofit Leadership: Embracing Empathy - Jonathan McCoy, CFRE and Becky Endicott, CFRE


Listen Later

Loving the feedback on our latest Friday series discussing the next generation of nonprofit leaders, and what skills are needed to lead and thrive in this new pandemic world. This week we're talking about Embracing Empathy. Empathetic leaders create a culture where imperfection is something to learn from, not hide. As a leader, admitting when you make a mistake or asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s practicing vulnerability. We're still teasing a special guest appearance for this series later in Dec., so tune in early! 🎧

  • Tone setting (1:40)
  • Embracing empathy in our leadership (3:41)
  • What does an empathetic leader look like? (3:40)
  • 7 Tips to help cultivate and empathy mindset (6:30)
