Today’s episode features social impact leader Surabhi Jain who deep dives with me about intentional systems change leadership and how tapping into your intuition can deepen your awareness personally and in navigating professional relationships.
Surabhi is the Founding Executive Director of the Toronto Workforce Funder Collaborative, Co-Founder of Women in Power , and creator of Power x Privilege. Surabhi has spent the better part of 20 years designing human development programs, working closely with many Fortune 500 companies to help them change racially biased hiring practices, and building the capacity of the non-profit sector to change systems.
You will get to hear some of Surabhi’s experiences growing up in a progressive family in India that emphasized female education, how equity and intentionality played a role in her moving to the United States, and ultimately how these values now shape her leadership in the philanthropic sector and at the intersection of power and privilege moving toward expansive possibilities of equity and belonging.
You won’t want to miss Surabhi sharing examples of how she practically weaves deep intentionality and intuitive awareness into her life at work and as a funder. We jam on the ways that organizations can do things differently, to help build capacity and to create more meaningful impact for the communities and grantees they are serving.
Surabhi talks about the importance of hard work and leaving the world a better place than you found it. She also shares an awesome story about how her inner alignment that led her to create a job posting that went viral on LinkedIn in the fall of 2023 (you can check it out here).
You will leave this conversation reminded that our inner work must match our outer drive to create change in the world and that it’s never too late to be more intentional (and even more vulnerable) in how you show up personally, professionally and in your community.
