Ever wondered why the nonprofit world feels more like a boxing ring than a friendly neighbourhood? Stephanie Olson and Rebecca Saunders dive into the competitive nature of nonprofits, especially in the human trafficking prevention sector. They chat about the surprising rivalries, the emotional toll of competition, and the importance of collaboration to make a real impact. Stephanie, a resilience expert, shares her own journey from business to nonprofit work, and her shock at the cutthroat dynamics she encountered.
Rebecca, new to this field, reflects on her experiences and misconceptions about nonprofit cooperation. Together, they explore why some organisations seem more focused on glory than genuine collaboration. The conversation highlights the necessity of trauma-informed care and the value of nonprofits specialising in their areas of expertise. You'll hear about the challenges nonprofits face in maintaining their focus while striving to make a difference without stepping on each other's toes.
It's a candid look at how organisations can better serve their communities by working together rather than competing for attention and resources.
