We know that relationships are essential in the work we do as nonprofit leaders. Sometimes we seem to forget that as we become overwhelmed with the magnitude of work we have. 

However, when you begin to think of relationships more as an investment than a simple transaction, you can quickly realize how important it is to invest in, develop and create meaningful collaborative relationships.

My guest in this episode, Julia Meadows from Kindful, walks us through many examples of investing in, developing and creating meaning to establish solid collaborative relationships. 

In this episode, you will:

• ​Learn why selling isn't what you may think it is.
• Discover how often you should be selling in your working relationships.
• Ditch the salesperson perspective you might have and embrace selling and communicating to build collaboration!
