Introducing Paul Brown

Paul Brown doesn’t shy away from challenging the status quo.

His parents passed on values of kindness and compassion. As he put it…

It’s better to be a big heart than a big shot.

And this led him from a successful corporate career to CEO of Child Fund New Zealand. For the last 15 years he led the rejuvenation of Child Fund, continuously pushing the boundaries on the norm of non-profits.

If you find yourself continuing to hit a wall on taking risks towards social innovation, this episode is for you. Paul shares simple and powerful ways for your organisation to embrace the challenge of change.

You can connect with Paul on LinkedIn or contact him via email.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:
  • How your organisation can disrupt the status quo to socially innovate and invest.  And how to navigate the challenges that come with this.
  • Why philanthropic, donation-based funding is already on the way out - and how you can move to a new model based on investing for impact.
  • The secrets that allow non-profits to experiment and push for change. It starts with permission to fail… but there’s more to it than that.
  • The power of changing your physical location, and how intentionally changing spaces to be part of an innovative ecosystem might allow your organisation to be more impactful.
