"What are the stories that people can participate in and see themselves in? I think that's one of the keys that we can unlock when it comes to the whole climate narrative is telling stories that build the scaffolding blocks to a larger narrative that people want to be a part of, and we need to make it feel inevitableā¦.The way that justice prevails, whether it's environmental justice or any kind of justice, I think it's that the leaders make it feel inevitable. And that's the climate movement's job. And I think we have every opportunity and ability to do that."

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore how lived experiences shape leadership and influence the way impostor syndrome shows up at work. My guest this week is Natanja Craig-Oquendo, Executive Director of the Boston Women's Fund. Natanja shares her journey from a childhood grounded in community organizing and allyship to leading mission-driven work focused on social, gender and economic justice. She reflects on how early messages about identity and belonging shaped her sense of what was possible and how those messages continue to influence her inner dialogue today.In our conversation, we talk about the power of representation, the impact of environment on confidence and how focusing on service can shift attention away from self-doubt. Natanja also introduces the idea of āimprint vs. impact,ā reminding us that while impact builds over time, imprint happens in every interaction through how we show up and support others. We also discuss what it takes to lead with honesty and humanity, why creating space for real conversations matters and how to move away from compartmentalization toward more authentic leadership.About My GuestNatanja N. Craig-Oquendo is CEO of Boston Women's Fund, where she is redesigning philanthropy to follow community leadership ā not override it. Guided by the principle ādo nothing about us without us,ā she has spent more than 20 years shifting power toward the communities most impacted by inequity.Ā Since joining the Fund in 2020, she has tripled grantmaking, expanded partnerships from 6 organizations to 22, grown the operating budget from $300,000 to $2.2 million, and increased the endowment from $2.1 million to $3.5 million. She advanced multi-year grants of up to five years, pioneered a āRequest for Conversationā model to replace traditional RFPs with trust-based engagement, and launched the Seed Funding Grant to expand access to capital for Black leaders and grassroots innovators.She is equally proud of building an organizational culture that supports the full human ā where caregiving is not penalized, boundaries are respected, lived experience informs decision-making, and sustainability replaces burnout as the measure of commitment. In 2025, she co-led Carrying the Weight, Leading the Change, a research report developed with UMass Boston, and founded Horizon Collective, a leadership initiative for women and gender-expansive leaders of color.Ā ~Connect with Natanja:Website: www.bostonwomensfund.org~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://www.kimmeninger.com
Most social impact campaigns are built on two ingredients: information and emotion. The data makes the case. The storytelling makes people care. But caring, on its own, has a shelf life. Saralynn Finn, founder of Sett & Sley Consulting, joins Eric in the studio to argue that the third ingredient, what she calls "the hands", is where campaigns succeed or quietly die. Not more awareness, not more storytelling, but actionable pathways that give audiences something real to do with everything they now know and feel.Episode Highlights:[00:01:30] The head, heart, and hands framework for social impact campaignsĀ [00:05:00] "the hands": actionable, attainable pathways that create real impactĀ [00:06:00] Why "the hands" breakout at Skoll World Forum was the most well-attendedĀ [00:10:00] The celebrity collaboration that drove 30K subscribers but didn't change healthcareĀ [00:15:30] Vote by mail in 2020: same message, radically different messengersĀ [00:26:00] The end-of-year fundraising campaign that 5X'd revenueNotable Quotes:Saralynn Finn [00:06:00]: "It's the piece of most campaigns that's missing, that people are trying to break the nut of and figure out: how do I create a pathway?"Eric Ressler [00:13:00]: "Campaigns need their own little mini theory of change."Resources & Links:Skoll World Forum ā https://skoll.org/skoll-world-forum/Represent Us ā https://represent.us/Saralynn's LinkedIn article about the AI documentary in Rural America.Hosted by Eric Ressler, Founder & Creative Director of Cosmic, with co-host Jonathan Hicken, Executive Director of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center.

Many of the problems we care most about cannot be solved by a single organization. That insight helped John Kania develop Collective Impact, a framework for bringing people together around shared goals. But over time, Kania noticed that coordination alone was not enough. Even when groups made progress, the deeper patterns of the system often remained unchanged. In this episode, Dart and John discuss the evolution of systems change thinking and why lasting change requires more than alignment, strategy, and good intentions.John Kania is Executive Director of Collective Change Lab, a nonprofit that develops new approaches to collaboration and systems change. He is a leading thinker on collective impact, systems leadership, and the relational work of creating social change.In this episode, Dart and John discuss:- Problems no one can solve alone- Why good intentions often fail- The limits of coordination- What keeps systems stuck- The hidden power of mental models- Why relationships drive change- The challenge of sharing power- What leadership looks like in uncertainty- The role of healing in systems change- Why changing systems means changing ourselves- Building islands of coherence- And other topicsā¦John Kania is Executive Director of Collective Change Lab, a nonprofit focused on advancing transformational systems change practices. He previously served as Global Managing Director of FSG, where he helped develop and popularize the concept of collective impact. John is co-author of the influential Stanford Social Innovation Review articles Collective Impact, The Dawn of System Leadership, and The Relational Work of Systems Change, as well as The Water of Systems Change. His work focuses on helping people and organizations collaborate across boundaries to address complex social challenges.Resources Mentioned:Collective Impact, by John Kania, Mark Kramer, and Peter Senge: https://ssir.org/articles/entry/collective_impactThe Dawn of System Leadership, by John Kania, Mark Kramer, and Peter Senge: https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_dawn_of_system_leadershipThe Relational Work of Systems Change, by John Kania, Jennifer Splansky Juster, and Peter Senge: https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_relational_work_of_systems_changeThe Water of Systems Change, by David Peter Stroh, John Kania, Mark Kramer, and others: https://www.fsg.org/resource/water_of_systems_change/Collective Change Lab: https://collectivechangelab.org/Connect with John:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-kania-1a294020/Work with Dart:Dart is the CEO and co-founder of the work design firm 11fold.

Christa Wiens joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore why the answer to online exploitation isn't the perfect parental control ā it's helping young people recognize manipulation, build critical thinking skills, and know who they can safely turn to when something feels off.About Christa WiensChrista Wiens is the Executive Director of the Central Valley Justice Coalition, a California-based nonprofit focused on preventing human trafficking through education, outreach, and community collaboration. She has spent over a decade in the anti-trafficking field, beginning her career with the Justice Coalition as an Education Coordinator, where she developed and delivered training programs that reached thousands of youth and adults across the Central Valley. She stepped into the Executive Director role in 2022 and has continued to expand the organization's reach and impact.Christa is the author of the Understanding Human Trafficking series and has contributed to multiple publications on trafficking awareness and prevention. Her work frequently intersects with faith communities, education systems, and local stakeholders, where she advocates for proactive, trauma-informed approaches and stronger preventive frameworks. She holds a Master of Arts in Ministry, Leadership, and Culture from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary.ChaptersKey Pointsā¢ Traffickers have adopted the exact same cross-platform influencer model that legitimate brands use ā and parents who don't recognize it are missing how exploitation actually operates online.ā¢ Looking for the "right app" or "right setting" to protect kids is chasing the wind; what's actually needed are better relational tools for conversation, not better technical controls.ā¢ Social media platforms are engineered to maximize engagement, which makes our kids the product ā and platforms like TikTok deliberately change what they show users the moment they turn 18.ā¢ The most effective protective posture isn't imposing rules but asking open-ended hypothetical questions ("What would you do if...?") so kids see parents as safe, curious allies rather than authorities who will punish them.ā¢ Building agency means using the language of "when you make a mistake" rather than "if" ā signaling that mistakes are expected, that kids won't be abandoned when they happen, and that they can always come back to a trusted adult.ā¢ The driver's permit is a powerful analogy for devices: we don't hand teenagers keys and say "best of luck" ā we graduate access gradually, narrate the dangers, and teach them to recognize the red flags, like content that makes them feel big, urgent emotions.ā¢ Youth in foster care and system involvement are especially vulnerable online because they often lack a trusted adult ā equipping care providers with conversation tools and connecting youth to resources like NCMEC's Take It Down are critical protective steps.ā¢ Young people who receive trafficking prevention education report a profound sense of relief ā they knew something was off but had no language for it ā and once equipped, they become peer educators and advocates in their own communities.Resourcesā¢ Central Valley Justice Coalitionā¢ NCMEC Take It Downā¢ National Center for Missing & Exploited Childrenā¢ PACT 2025 Reignite Convening

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1359: Mitsubishi is jumping back into the pickup market with help from Nissan, a supplier strike threatens GM's truck production at a critical moment, and the internet-famous F-250 robins have finally left the nest, clearing the way for one very patient delivery.Show Notes with links:Mitsubishi is heading back into the U.S. pickup truck market for the first time in nearly two decades, teaming up with Nissan on a midsize truck while also reviving the iconic Pajero/Montero SUV.Mitsubishi will launch a U.S.-built midsize pickup sourced from Nissan, likely tied to the next-generation Frontier platform expected later this decade.The truck marks Mitsubishi's return to the segment after discontinuing the Raider pickup following the 2010 model year.The strategy is part of a three-step U.S. revival plan: expand off-road offerings, enter new segments through Nissan partnerships, and grow the dealer network with urban satellite stores.Mitsubishi is also reviving the Pajero (Montero) SUV this fall, building it on the Triton pickup platform and creating an entire family of Pajero-branded vehicles.āWe will prioritize restoring profitability and work to turn the business around through brand strengthening and product strategies.ā ā Mitsubishi President Keisuke SugiuraA labor dispute at American Axle is putting pressure on one of GM's most important profit centers. Nearly 1,000 UAW workers have walked off the job, threatening the supply of axles used in Silverado, Sierra, Colorado, and Canyon pickups just as GM ramps up truck production.UAW members at American Axle's Three Rivers, Michigan plant began striking after contract talks broke down over wages and mandatory overtime.Workers say they are still living with wage cuts accepted during the 2008 financial crisis, with many production employees topping out around $22 per hour despite years of strong supplier profits.The plant produces critical axles for GM's full-size and midsize pickups, giving the strike potential to impact some of the automaker's most profitable vehicles.Timing is especially challenging for GM as it looks to capitalize on Ford's pickup production constraints and growing competition from Ram, whose truck sales are up 23% this year.āFor 18 years, these members have built you an empire of profit, while getting treated like dirt.ā ā UAW President Shawn Fain.Remember the F-250 that became a federally protected bird sanctuary? The robins have officially left the nest, the truck can finally head to its new owner, and the dealership's unexpected wildlife story turned into an international feel-good headline.Lugnut, Axle, Diesel and Turbo officially flew away last week, ending a month-long delivery delay for the customer's F-250.What started as a quirky dealership story ended up earning coverage from The New York Times, People, The Guardian, Automotive News and even Ford's corporate media channels.Olathe Ford-Lincoln leaned into the moment, giving the birds names, posting updates, and turning a routine vehicle delivery into a viral community story.The customer, a construction company, never pressured the dealership and agreed to let nature take its course before taking delivery.āThe new owners said they were in no hurry to get the truck and the robins could finish raising their family.ā ā Diane Johnson, Executive Director, Operation WildLife.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcastĀ as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shiftsābringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Recorded live in the blazing Miami heat (seriously, surface-of-the-sun conditions), Duncan, Ryan, and crew sit down with Heather Hubbs, Executive Director of the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA), for a conversation about art fairs, artist ecosystems, and what it actually means to build a sustainable contemporary art community. From CBD waters and early-morning whiskey to global art economies and the future of ceramics, this episode captures Bad at Sports at its most "tailgate meets art world summit." Heather walks us through NADA's evolution from a member-driven trade association into a flexible, responsive platform that supports galleries, artists, and experimental projects across Miami, New York, and beyond. The conversation digs into post-pandemic market shifts, the logic behind fair restructuring (goodbye Sunday drag), and how Warsaw is unexpectedly a site of mass public hunger for art. Along the way: project spaces as incubators, ceramics as a rising force, and the enduring legacy of Chicago art world figures who shaped how fairs operate today. Also: inflatable dancing airmen. Chickens. Buttholes. You know, professionalism.

Ā What tree begins life looking more like a tuft of grass, survives repeated fires for years on the forest floor, and then suddenly bolts toward the canopy in a remarkable growth spurt? The longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) is one of the most unique and ecologically important tree species in North America. Once dominating the coastal plains of the southeastern United States, longleaf pine forests have been reduced to less than 5% of their historic range. Yet these forests remain among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the continent. In this episode of SilviCast, we explore the fascinating life history of longleaf pine and the silvicultural practices being used to restore these iconic forests. Join us for a conversation with Steve Jack, Executive Director of Boggy Slough Conservation Area, who shares insights from decades of longleaf pine restoration work across the southern United States.Ā Guest on the Episode:Steve Jack, Ph.D.Director of the Boggy Slough Conservation AreaDr. Steve Jack is the founding executive director of the Boggy Slough Conservation Area (BSCA), a 19,000-acre property near Lufkin, Texas owned by the T.L.L.

Corals protect humans and sustain 25% of all marine life. But reefs are under threat from climate change, and mass bleaching events mean that some scientists estimate they could disappear by 2100.In this episode, Graihagh Jackson is joined by BBC CrowdScience presenter, Caroline Steel. We go to Puerto Rico to see how self-duplicating, carnivorous coral could be the solution. We also speak to the scientist who helped discover what was causing coral bleaching in the first place - back when climate change was commonly denied.This programme was first broadcast in 2024.Guests: Dr Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Professor of Marine Studies at the University of Queensland in Brisbane Dr Stacey Williams, Executive Director at the Institute for Socio Ecological ResearchPicture: Prickly alcyonarian - Dendronephthya sp.

InĀ ļ»æLadder or Lottery: Economic Promises and the Reality of Who Gets AheadĀ (University ofĀ California Press, 2026)ļ»æ, Gary HooverĀ asks the reader a simple question: Is our economy a ladder or a lottery? Are people able to control their position on the economic spectrum by their actions? Some argue that, in our market-based economy, if you play by certain rules and make certain choices, you'll achieve upward mobility no matter what economic position you were born into. Drawing on his vast economic expertise, Hoover explores what this "social contract" requires of its citizens, and what it offers in return. Hoover shows how civil unrest is often directly related to broken society-level promises, exploring protest movements such as Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, the Arab Spring, and student debt forgiveness as case studies. He also predicts where future protests can be expected if results promised are not results delivered.ļ»æ This insightful and data-driven book tackles challenging issues around income inequality, health care, and artificial intelligence, and ultimately equips readers to answer these pressing questions: Is our social contract a ladder to higher economic standing, accessible to all no matter where they start? Or rather a lottery in which many will buy a ticket but only a few will find success? And how can we best align social promises with our lived economic realities? ļ»æGary Hoover is Executive Director of the Murphy Institute, Professor of Economics, and Affiliate Professor of Law at Tulane University. ļ»æļ»æDr. Zachery Williams is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of African and African American Studies at LSU.

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association in Ontario, up to 90% of Canadians living with serious mental illnesses are unemployed, while individuals with a mental health-related disability face an employment rate of just 46%. Stigma, discrimination, limited workplace accommodations, and a lack of support continue to create significant barriers to meaningful employment and long-term career success. On this episode ofĀ Let's Have This Conversation, we sit down with Julie Henshaw, MSW, RSW, Executive Director of Stride, to explore how inclusive employment practices can transform lives, strengthen communities, and create healthier workplaces for everyone. With more than 20 years of experience in the community mental health and addictions sector, Julie brings a compassionate and deeply relational approach to leadership. Her work across residential, community, and hospital settings has given her a comprehensive understanding of Ontario's mental healthcare system and the complex realities facing individuals navigating mental health and addiction challenges. Stride is helping change the conversation around employment by supporting youth (16+) and adults struggling with mental health or addictions as they pursue meaningful work. Through job readiness training, employment coaching, accommodation planning, peer mentoring, workshops, job matching, and employer partnerships, Stride connects often-overlooked candidates with inclusive employers who recognize the value of diverse lived experiences. In this conversation, Julie discusses: Julie also shares insights from her leadership journey, her passion for healthcare design and social policy, and why collaboration, empathy, and encouragement remain at the center of meaningful community impact. This is a powerful conversation about hope, opportunity, inclusion, and the life-changing impact of being seen for your potential instead of your diagnosis For more information: https://stride.on.ca/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we're joined by Amy McNeil, Executive Director of Tennessee Corn, for a conversation about the future of agriculture, corn production, and the challenges facing farmers today. Amy shares her background growing up in agriculture, how her family's farming roots shaped her career, and what led her to become one of the leading voices representing Tennessee corn growers. We discuss the role of the Tennessee Corn Association and how it works alongside the National Corn Growers Association to advocate for farmers across the state and the country. We also dive into the surprising number of products made from corn, the growing disconnect between consumers and food producers, and why that gap continues to create challenges for modern agriculture. Amy explains how farm organizations are working to educate the public, and tell agriculture's story. The conversation also covers year-round E15, what it means for corn growers, whether expanded ethanol use could create additional demand for corn, and why the issue remains a major topic throughout rural America.
