Breaking Free of Scarcity Patterns with Kris Putnam-Walkerly

<p>Today, I have the honor of interviewing Kris Putnam-Walkerly. She's the author of Delusional Altruism: Why Philanthropists Fail To Achieve Change and What They Can Do To Transform Giving. And what's so interesting about this conversation is the overlap because she's teaching about scarcity and how it placed out in the non-profit sector. I know that even if you're not in a non-profit, you're going to enjoy this conversation because we're talking about the themes of how do we move out of scarcity and into more abundance in our lives. Where are the places that this shows up and how is it affecting our decisions? Her book is really inspiring to me. I love the overlap in what we do. I know that you're going to be very inspired by this conversation and probably make some changes as a result. Enjoy...</p> <p>She shared this - "I shifted the work I was doing. I've since become a more trusted advisor and private coach to funders. It's really changed and it was because I had the confidence to invest in myself and not have that scarcity mindset. And recognize that yeah there was something bigger for me. But I needed help. I couldn't get there on my own. And so that's you know how I showed up with my clients as well. There is I think about the lifetime of giving of my clients whether they're currently late 25 or 75. There's so much more to give and if I can help them become more powerful donors then think of the power and change they can have through their giving over their lifetime. And, it was really amazing..."</p> <p>Kris Putnam-Walkerly is a trusted advisor to the world’s leading philanthropists.
