This is Girl Take the Lead Sound Bite building on our discussion with Heather McLeod Grant in Ep 167. She talked about philanthropy and women which left me with some questions like: Historically how have women given? What emotions are at the heart of giving? How can we build our own personal strategy when it comes to giving? What happens in our brain when we give, be kind or grateful? What are different ways to be kind?    Here are 3 takeaways from today's episode:   1.    Historically women have been giving in remarkable ways. 2.    Let's expand philanthropy as Heather suggested in Ep 165 to include all acts of giving like volunteering, doing acts of kindness, and self-care. 3.    Let's also challenge ourselves to find our own philanthropic strategy that builds on our passions, and what we care most about in our lives, and then take action to support those concerns.

Heather McLeod Grant (GenX), social impact and philanthropy advisor, thought leader, and social entrepreneur with 30+ years expertise in strategy, leadership, governance, networks, and leadership for social change joins Yo to talk about women and philanthropy.   Did you know that there will be a massive asset-transfer of $30T over the next decade? And some estimate women will control 60-70% of the giving and control 85% of purchasing decisions?   Heather lets us know that philanthropy doesn't look like the balding, white guy with a top hat. It looks like us! Women are going to be a significant story when it comes to giving in 10-20 years.   Topics covered in the Episode: Trends in philanthropy Key statistics related to women's giving Giving Circles: what are they and how do they work Women making a big splash in philanthropy Key questions we should ask ourselves when it comes to our philanthropic journey   Here are three takeaways from the episode: 1.   Women are stepping up and getting more involved – it's not just men – and other trends include that donors are giving while living and tend to be younger.   2.   Women give differently than men - they are more community centric, more diversified in their giving, and less interested in having their name on a building.   3.   Giving circles are massively growing with more than 2500 nationwide. They serve as way to amplify the gift and democratize philanthropy. You can contact Yo to learn more.

137:  Building A Strong Nonprofit Through Intentional Leadership (Teddy McDaniel)SUMMARYMany for-profit leaders have followed their passion and transitioned to the nonprofit sector.  Luckily for the Urban League of the Carolinas, Teddy McDaniel is one such leader who likes to say he doesn't have a job, he's on a mission. In episode #137 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, Teddy discusses how being an intentional leader strengthens an organization. He and Patton discuss embracing the nonprofit competition with strategic networking which leads to a better exchange of ideas, resources, and talent.  A good nonprofit leader will recognize when an organization is spread too thin – you can't be all things to all people – and values coalition partners because a community isn't well served by mediocre.  Teddy also shares insight on building a strong mission-focused strategic plan as a living document.  You'll learn how a successful nonprofit leader, who began himself as a volunteer, takes intentional steps to attract and retain talented staff, volunteers, and board members. ABOUT TEDDYTeddy McDaniel currently serves as president and CEO of the Urban League of Central Carolinas in Charlotte, NC.
