Storytelling and Relationship Building with Kristin Bradley Bull

In episode 25 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, some of the topics that Carol and her guest, Kristin Bradley-Bull discussed include:

• How strategic planning helps organizations and the people in them connect back to their "why"
• How organizations need to listen to the people in the communities they work in more intentionally

• The role of the sector in our economy and culture
• Why organizations need to be intentional about their support to new leaders of color that many groups are now hiring and promoting to CEO roles.

 

Guest Information:
Kristin Bradley-Bull's tagline says it all: "Illuminating your vision. Extending your vast roots and branches to get there." She runs Roots to Canopy in Durham, NC. At Roots to Canopy, Kristin consults with non-profits to develop powerful strategies and plans – and to develop staff capacity to be wildly successful in making change in the world. She does the same in her coaching practice: supporting people to crystalize their vision and orient toward their North Star – as non-profit leaders and as humans. Kristin loves people, justice, organizations and movements, and transformation on all levels. Her background includes co-founding a training and leadership non-profit, being a full-time public health faculty member, and consulting (20 years+) with organizations ranging from multilaterals to grassroots social justice groups.
