I am so inspired by this next generation! Thank you so much for bringing their voices and important work to the fore in this field. As an older millennial, I have felt and experienced all of the critiques that this group has brought up in terms of the lack of change, burnout, as well as the unwillingness for current nonprofit leaders to listen and support young leaders to "revolutionize" the sector. I'm out of the nonprofit sector after 10 years due to burnout, but mostly due to disillusionment and the lack of integrity for organizations to act on what they say are their values. But truly, hearing this panel restores my faith in the field.
Kudos to you all for your passion, insights and commitment to addressing the critical issues that keep our communities and ecosystems from thriving. I'm actually a boomer who has experienced burnout, loneliness and isolation because of constantly fighting to change systems that support keeping people in positions of vulnerability and struggle. However, when I was given leadership responsibilities, I embraced the opportunity to guide, coach and support my emerging leaders to explore ideas, develop strategies, make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. Toxic cultures definitely try to justify inaction, burying your head in the sand, and doing things the way they've always been done - even when faced with glaring evidence that their practices need to change. Your generation is absolutely more emotionally intelligent and aware of what's needed to truly make and impact and end the seemingly insurmountable problems we face. Keep speaking up and speaking out!
I've been an independent researcher of all these external forces your first speaker talks about. Love and wisdoms eternal character sent me an email at 12:07pm today. This has to be how I learned about this particular video you're group produced.
Our mothers of the last 60 years have assisted in the road to where we are and can also be the solution to where we should naturally be according to the loving nature of the eternal father God Jehovah. The original king of weird!
