Building a Social Impact Community from Scratch

Community is at the heart of Social Situation's third episode. Social impact professionals are often isolated and struggling - we'll talk about changing that dynamic through community building. Joining Erin and Trevor is Jenn Lishansky, Chief Engagement Officer and Career Coach at Be Social Change. Jenn shares her experience of growing a local community in New York City into a global community bringing people together. Jenn shares stories of uniting people in marriage, in uncommon partnerships that are making an impact, and what inclusive and supportive social impact communities look like. Jenn also gives a shoutout to the book ⁠Saving Time by Jenny Odell⁠ as she shares the advantages of social entrepreneurship in living a fulfilled life. At the end of our episode, there are two predictions that you won't want to miss! Trevor and Erin will share short and long-term outlooks for how social impact plays a role in the market - and how it relates to building sustainable supportive communities.
