S3 Episode 10: The truth about cancel culture (and an alternative approach), featuring Kevin BakerCancel culture. Disbanded groups. Severed ties. Intent vs Impact. Most of us are shit at dealing with problematic behavior - our own or others! Whether in our nonprofits, our neighborhood groups, activist communities or families - our unresolved conflicts cause damage, chaos and separation - in times where we need unity, repair and one-ness to best serve our communities. Enter Kevin Baker whose mission is to make sure people can bring their authentic cultural selves to the workplace, creating healthier, more open workspaces that better serve humans.
Kevin and I talk about how a whole bunch of us really need therapy, what it means to take a relationship-first approach to workplace conflict, and why we need to ditch our desire for quick fixes and allow ample time for repair work. |

What is 'Rainmaking'?
|
Rainmaking is the practice of bringing in lots of money so that our organizations can thrive and do the work that they’re meant to do on behalf of the community. However, there are also many ethical considerations that we’re not used to making in the nonprofit sector, thus The Ethical Rainmaker was born.
