Dialogue Lab

Dialogue Lab

Welcome to the Dialogue Lab Podcast, an interview show dedicated to helping you thrive as you make your impact. Every episode, I host conversations with social change leaders about how we can thrive in this work, so our movements thrive too. We talk about how burn-out culture shows up in social change spaces, and explore what it takes to stay engaged and effective over the long haul. I offer you these conversations as an antidote to burnout culture in the social change sector. Join me every other Tuesday as we celebrate what renews us as we make change: self-care, creativity, diversity, innovation, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, authentic leadership, collaboration, and more. Be sure to subscribe on iTunes (or your favorite podcasting app) so you never miss an episode.

-- DIALOGUE LAB PODCAST EPISODE 013 - Kat Calvin: Spread the Vote --

After the 2016 presidential election, Kat Calvin took a hard look at the state of voting rights in this country, and did not like what she saw. Like the fact that in 34 states, eligible voters are being turned away from polling stations because they don't have a state-issued ID.

This week, we go on a deep dive with the brilliant Melanie Dewberry, a coach, speaker, author, and indigenous ceremonialist.

This week, I speak with Sarai Johnson, a speaker, coach, author and founder of Lean Nonprofit. When I first encountered Sarai, it was through a blog post she'd written about how nonprofits and foundations often unwittingly use management and funding practices that perpetuate the very culture of poverty and oppression they are fighting against.

Sounds like seriou...
