The trials and tribulations of volunteering. Tracy is back from her volunteering in Kenya and she and Chris discuss “the lessons learned” from her experience. This is both an emotional and inspiring episode. NOTE: the societal issues covered in this episode are child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM).

Volunteerism or “why people volunteer” is our focus for this episode. Tracy and Chris discuss the reasons behind, for, and against volunteering. Tracy's recently scheduled volunteer trip to Africa is our launching pad for the discussion.

Tony Vengrove, Founder and CEO of Miles Finch Innovation and Makery Coworking, is our guest for this episode. Tony has helped numerous companies unlock innovative ideas hidden within their own walls. Our discussion includes ideas such as job crafting and the compassion-innovation connection. We discuss the differences between not only compassion and empathy but also creativity and innovation. Tony also talks about how to create an “idea climate” in any organization: “creativity raised to the power of belief divided by logic raised to the power of doubt.” There’s no doubt that you’ll find Tony informative and engaging! http://www.milesfinchinnovation.com and https://www.makerycoworking.com.
