Achieving long-term change requires having government—whether local, state, or federal—at the collaborative table as a key partner. However, many collaboratives share that building these partnerships can be challenging, intimidating, or confusing.To better understand how to build and sustain effective relationships with public sector partners, we talk with Caroline Whistler, CEO and co-founder of Third Sector, a nonprofit technical assistance provider that advises U.S. government agencies on effective ways to reshape policies, systems, and services toward better outcomes for all people no matter their race, background, and circumstances.This discussion explores the opportunities and challenges collaboratives may face when partnering with government agencies. The conversation highlights:Shifting mindsets from a compliance-driven approach to an outcomes-focused approach, where government agencies work alongside their collaborative partners to define and measure progress towards shared goals.Why relationship and trust-building are necessary when collaborating with government partners.Why sustaining partnerships with government can help collectives reach better outcomes for everyone, but also needs to be recognized as an “ongoing process,” requiring commitment, patience, continuous learning, and a willingness to adapt.Resources and FootnotesThird SectorCaroline Whistler on LinkedInMore on Collective ImpactInfographic: What is Collective Impact?Resource List: Getting Started in Collective ImpactThe Intro music, entitled “Running,” was composed by Rafael Krux, and can be found here and is licensed under CC: By 4.0.The outro music, entitled “Deliberate Thought,” was composed by Kevin Macleod.

With so many people being classified today as neurodivergent, our awareness and understanding is rising. Yet common beliefs still exist that not fitting into a so called ‘norm' is an affliction rather than potentially a real strength. Why is it that so many successful people in life are neurodivergent? Yet 40% of the prison population in the UK have also been identified as neurodivergent? Is the system putting many at a great disadvantage and are we missing talent that could elevate our business and society? Following our recent interview with Paul Graham, Managing Director of Britvic I wanted to explore this hugely important subject further. I am delighted to introduce you to Charlotte Valeur, a former Investment Banker and FTSE Chair and Non-Executive Director, whose board-level experience spans a host of sectors and industries. Charlotte's experience also includes the highly prestigious role of Chair of the Institute of Directors (IOD). a recognised international authority and professor in corporate governance and leadership, and author of Effective Directors (Questions to Ask). As a lifelong human rights advocate, Charlotte is driven to play her part in creating an inclusive society; she advocates for equality and inclusion for all, working at the intersection of Government, Industry, Academia, and the Third Sector. To this effect, she founded and chairs Board Apprentice and the global Institute of Neurodiversity, ION. With a breath-taking Wikipedia entry, and such success in often male dominated business, it came as no surprise to discover that Charlotte is autistic. So, let's discover how we better embrace neurodiversity to ensure that unique talents are identified, cultivated, and embraced.

Welcome to Compromising Positions! The tech podcast that asks non-cybersecurity professionals what we in the industry can do to make their lives easier and help make our organisations more prepared to face ever-changing human-centric cyber threats! This week we are joined by Sabrina Segal, an integrity, risk, and compliance advisor, with almost 20 years of experience in the public, private, and third-sectors. In this episode, Not New, but Novel - Tackling Risk in the Third Sector, We take a look at the challenges facing the third sector when it comes to cybersecurity and technology risks. The third sector, which includes charities and non-profits, is often overlooked or underestimated when it comes to cybersecurity and risk management. But this sector faces unique challenges and opportunities that require a novel and holistic approach to risk.Sabrina has a really refreshing take on risk and we will hear how she enables her clients to get to grips with what she calls ‘tolerable risk' and why we can't avoid risks, but we can reframe risks to not only identify threats but also opportunities. While at the same time, making sure everyone cares about risk, not just people with ‘risk manager' in their title! Key Takeaways:Forget Risk Appetite and Risk Matrices - Embrace ‘risk awareness' tailored to your mission and your organisation's objectivesIdentify Your ‘Tolerable Risk' - Risk can't be avoided but we can identify and work within our ‘risk tolerance' for better informed decisionsRisk is a Two-Sided Coin - It's not just about threats but opportunities too, and it's much easier for people to get excited about opportunities than threats!Don't Greenwash Those “Charity Days” - Forget painting the fence, litter picking or sorting cans, instead donate your cybersecurity expertise for maximum impactRisk Is Everyone's Job - Ditch the ‘risk manager' title and empower everyone to be a risk champion!Links to everything we discussed in this episode can be found in the show notes and if you liked the show, please do leave us a review.

Caz Jaine faced danger, isolation and even assault when she took a foreign office role in Basra during the ‘reconstruction' phase of the Iraq war.  But she thrived on the adrenalin of conflict zones - and was even diagnosed with ‘post-traumatic development'... As she explains to Olly in this wide-ranging conversation, her subsequent experiences as a Police emergency call handler led her to broaden her self-care and resilience. Now a meditation teacher, Caz takes police officers on forest retreats, and advocates passionately for culture change and emotional support within blue light professions. CONTENT WARNING: suicide, self harm, animal harm. — Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart checks out the trend for ‘philanthrotainment' - influencers leveraging their platforms to raise money for charity.  Is the technique - evidenced by the likes of Youtuber Mr Beast and Instagram's King of Chemo - a more direct, straightforward way of supporting charitable causes than the corruption-prone supply chains of larger organisations? Or do household name organisations remain the best places to donate, given the administrative struggles of smaller charities?  With the help of Lucinda Rouse from Third Sector, Ollie navigates the best way to help out this Winter - and establishes his own side-hustle to support Mann-fans in need: * REGISTER NOW FOR OLLIE'S MODERN MANN SKILL-A-THON *: https://www.modernmann.co.uk/skills — Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox, fresh from discovering the etymological roots of orchids and testicles, advises a widowed Mann-fan about post-bereavement dating. When is the best time to disclose that your wife has died? Is it best to blurt the information out early, and risk ruining the conversation, or better to wait until you've established a deeper connection? And what are the stigmas around desire when you're recently bereaved?  With the help of WAY (Widowed And Young) and Lets Talk About Loss, Alix reveals all.

This edition of Airing Pain was recorded at the Living Well with Persistent Pain in Wales conference during Pain Awareness Month in September 2023. The topic of the conference was the launch of the revised Persistent Pain guidance first published in 2019.  The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we live and access services. How are healthcare professionals who treat patients with persistent pain capitalising on this improved digital literacy by using a digital-first approach to improve the patient experience at their clinics? With the aim of this year's conference being to see the person and not the symptoms, how can the patient's voice be heard and kept central to ensure this is done? And finally, how can the Third Sector and the NHS work more cohesively to work towards this goal?

In this week's episode I speak to Lorna Harris, a PR expert and writer. Lorna combines her love of words, people and problem solving in the work that she does and we explore how she uses intuition as a lens through which to see the world.  We explore why sharing Lorna's own story of grief has resonated so much with others who are grieving.  We discuss the vulnerability that lies within grief, the rawness of it and layers of experience that come with living with loss, including finding the glimmers of joy after losing those we love. Join Lorna and me as we share our reflections of life after loss in this tender, funny and incredibly important conversation.About Lorna:Lorna Harris is a charity sector PR and freelancer writer, from Whitstable in Kent.

If you aren't at the table, you're on the menu, Shanelle Matthews and Annie Neimand remind us. In their new report, Broke: How the Nonprofit and Philanthropic Sectors Are Talking About Poverty—And How We Can Do Better, they note, “The stories we're currently told about how the rich got rich, why the poor stay poor, and why people can't “move up” place the blame on individuals instead of systems. This creates a vast network of oppression, propping up business as usual and allowing the rich to remain rich, while others suffer.” Shanelle and Annie resolved to provide us with the tools we need to tell more accurate and liberating stories about poverty and wealth. This project was a collaboration between The Radical Communicators Network, the Center for Public Interest Communications, and the creative design agency Milli, and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Shanelle is the Communications Director for the Movement for Black Lives, the founder of the Radical Communicators Network, and our first repeat guest! She was joined by Annie Neimand of Third Sector, who at the time was the Research Director at the Center for Public Interest Communications at the university of Florida in Gainesville and is the first relative of a previous guest (her uncle Rich) to appear on the show.   Shanelle and Annie had a great conversation with Eric about the research project they designed and their terrific new resource to advance new narratives about poverty and wealth.

Juicy episode alert! Michelle and Lorraine break down many aspects of purity culture and how this form of supremacy and oppression — controls and dictates how we express ourselves, causing anguish and keeping us from our best work. From large breasts, to Honey Boo Boo, the Atlanta spa shooting and fetishization, the Fyre Festival  and consent violation ... Michelle and Lorraine explore the many ways purity culture holds us down — and what we can do to fight back against it! Links:Check out Michelle's workshop collabs here: https://www.freedom-conspiracy.com/workshops--trainings.htmlReach Lorraine Nibut here! https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorrainenibut/The Game defends his 12yo, cite 1 and cite 2Fyre Festival article and documentaryPurity culture as motive for Atlanta spa shootingsHere Comes Honey Boo BooLorraine's recommends: + Present how you are most comfortable, unapologetically+ Embrace your identities - own it and rise above the shamers+ Speak your needs choose courage over comfort as courage can bring comfort+ Express when something is uncomfortable for you+ Face when your own discomfort is preventing you from your own success

Fleur drops some knowledge especially for our white colleagues - for example "we can't move forward until  we've tended to what's occurred - most orgs need to do repair...not pretend that we can just move forward like nothing happened, you gotta try and see what happens." Check out our new workshops just for you!Here are some of the resources she loves on this topic:+ Generational Differences in Racial Equity Work by Dax-Devlon Ross+ How to plan a White Caucus Agenda by Pippi Kessler+ Racial Identity Caucusing: A Strategy for Building Anti-Racist Collectives by Crossroads+ Why We're All Suffering from Racial Trauma (Even White People) -- and How to Handle It by Resmaa Menakem via Ten Percent Happier+ A Call to White People: It's Time To Live In The Answer by Melia LaCourOh and Doctors Without Borders recently set this example of truth telling!

"If you're giving back, maybe you should just stop taking." Wow, so much to say about current events in the world of nonprofits and philanthropy including ridiculous claims and unethical, dishonest behavior from UK's famous BrewDog, dishonest partnership and tokenization at Forterra in Seattle, the relationship between extractive practices, power hoarding and Patagonia, and beloved Captain Tom and his daughter, mourning through greed!

Traditional philanthropy has been asking nonprofits to jump through ridiculous and paternalistic hoops since its inception. But as movements like CCF require institutions to rethink how we do our work, we are not questioning our evaluation and metrics practices! In a world where tech money wants us to quantify our work, what is truly meaningful and how do we change!? Michelle talks with Marcia about Equitable Evaluation Framework and how our practices are so wrong and how to do better.

We throw shade and cause guilt and shame in social justice work all the time! But is finger pointing effective or does it just make us feel better to make someone else wrong? In this ep, Michelle and Anu, author of Oprah-loved book Beyond Guild Trips, build analysis through a lens of travel ethics and what it means to truly move forward.
