Get ready to discover how to be a strong nonprofit leader with Dr. Kevin Sansberry, an esteemed organizational consultant and behavior scientist.

We’re hanging out in a park in Cincinnati recording this episode – and talking all about why you can’t actually move the needle with your messaging, strategy, and personal branding without effective leadership at the helm.

Hear about psychological safety (and empowering individuals at every level to demonstrate leadership), and how to set a foundation for building trust and sparking impactful movements.

Plus, there are specific traits that set the BEST nonprofit leaders apart, and we compare the unique distinctions between nonprofit and Fortune 500 leadership styles.

By tapping into specific subcultures and creating dedicated communities of supporters, nonprofit leaders can amplify their impact and drive their missions forward with a passionate and united front.
