This audience usually consists of adults, but how do you accomplish these same goals with children? Creating educational and engaging content for children is a unique challenge. Many tried-and-true tactics fall flat when applied to a rapidly changing constituency. This opens up new opportunities and ways to inspire future generations. It requires a great deal of leadership to successfully lead these programs. Here is how one of the greatest minds in the field does it. In this episode of Next Wave Leadership, Dov Pollack has an informative discussion with Amy Kraft, the Senior Director of Development and Children's Programming at Pinna. Together, the two break down the process behind children's content and how Amy leads her team to create valuable programming. They also touch on Amy's introduction to the field, the lessons learned from other executives, and why children are the most honest audience.
When her husband suddenly passed away a few years ago, Amy was overwhelmed with grief. She struggled to "meet grief in a culture that doesn't understand". But over time she discovered her own way to live with her reality. She used grief writing, journaling and gratitude to make sense of it all. Amy says she is “too roundish to fit neatly inside a box.” Listen in to hear how Amy discovered how to deal with her grief in her own authentic way. And how our wonderful gratitude community helped her do it.
