"With everything that has happened in our world this year, it feels like the stakes are even higher when it comes to our ability to really listen to each other and to find new ways to shift towards much needed collaborative ways of working."
Kyla Shawyer, knows something about the need for new and improved ways of working together in the nonprofit sector. Kyla has been leading transformational change in the global nonprofit sector for 15 years, having led programs at Operation Smile and later the Resource Alliance. She is currently working at the intersection of systems innovation and leadership in the social good space, serving as both CEO & Co-Founder of Philanthropy & Fundraising North America (PFNA), a nonprofit executive leadership program that builds nonprofit capacity for fundraising growth and innovation, and as Creative Consultant for DSIL Global, a social innovation company.
A few months ago I heard Kyla present on "Liberating Structures"--a set of tools that promises to revolutionize unproductive meeting culture and replace it with collaboration, problem-solving, and idea generation. Every bad meeting I have ever been in over the last 20 years flashed before my eyes, and I quickly sent her an email to learn more.
