The Impact Table Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this week’s episode of the Impact Table Podcast, we invite you to step into the future and set a bold vision for 2025. As women leading in social impact, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle. But what if we took a moment to dream bigger and envision the future we want to create?

This episode dives into the power of visioning, using the past, present, and future as tools to shape your next chapter. You'll get to experience a powerful visioning exercise that will help you clarify your goals, ignite your passions, and set a purposeful path forward.

We’ll also reflect on:

• How setting a clear vision for the future can inspire and guide you today.
• Why personal energy is the foundation of impactful leadership.
• How to use the future as a tool to align your present actions and decisions.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to take your leadership to the next level and create a powerful vision for yourself in 2025, this episode is for you.  Tune in for a powerful conversation on setting your vision and aligning your actions with the change you want to create.

This week's Impact Table podcast is an invitation to reflect on this year's wins and challenges.  We look through the lens of the wholistic time model, one that suggests the past, the present and the future all exist here now.  If the future determines the present, and the present determines the past, by reflecting on the past year we codify what our wins and challenges mean in the context of the present and the future.  

Prompts you might consider:

• What projects or goals did you crush? 
• What new opportunities did you embrace?  Professionally and personally?  
• What challenges did you face, and what have you learned or do you need to take away from those challenges?
• So how will you show up today, so that in the future, you will be proud of the way you’ve navigated in the past?

This week's episode is a playback of one of our most powerful Visionary Speaker Sessions yet with special guest and Impact Table Member, Katie McCleary who is a vivacious champion of creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders who actively pursue their vision to improve people’s lives - and incredible human.  

In this talk, Katie gets real and shares with deep vulnerability and powerful strength about her own journey and what it means to show up with tenacity, intention, and love - in life and specifically around tough topics - including one of my favorites, that I don’t think we talk about nearly enough, ESPECIALLY in the social impact space- that tough topic of money.

In this week's episode of the Impact Table Podcast, host Marssie Versola is in conversation with Baily Hancock Professional Friend-Maker and Connection Strategist.  A natural-born connector and extracurricular enthusiast, Baily has spent her life curating community and nurturing her network, priding herself on being only a degree or two of separation from just about anyone (including Kevin Bacon). Throughout the past decade, she's taught hundreds of entrepreneurs and social impact leaders how to connect and collaborate with others to amplify their message, attract their ideal clients, and increase their impact in the world.
 
Connection and community are not a nice to have.  They are a non-negotiable.

The statistics on burnout in the social impact sector are staggering.  According to a recent study published by the Center for Effective Philanthropy, most funders and 95% of leaders in nonprofit organizations express some level of concern about burnout, with 87% of nonprofit leaders expressing concerns about their own burnout and 75% indicating that burnout among their staff is impacting their organization’s ability to achieve their mission.  

And we know that women in social impact, already affected by the gender pay gap, are often further burdened by the lack of of nonprofit organizations or purpose-driven departments to offer equal or competitive pay or benefits, a lack of leadership and professional development, under-resourced teams and organizations, regularly reported feelings of isolation and overwhelm, high emotional investment and demands in this work (especially in roles in direct service), and largely recognized inequalities in the home, with women taking on most household and caregiving responsibilities.

But, despite these very real challenges, what if we could let it be easy?  

Listen in.

We're nearly. halfway through the year, and in this week's episode we're taking the time to pause for a mid-year checkpoint.  

In this episode, we invite you to take some time, as we get to the halfway mark of 2024 to reflect on the goals, intentions, or vision you set at the beginning of the quarter or the year, and also to notice what you have to celebrate, to review the challenges you've faced, to check in on how you are taking care of your mind and your spirit, and how you are treating your body.  

After you take a listen, you can take some time to reflect on these 5 prompts:

1. First, review any goals, intentions, or vision you set for yourself at the start of the quarter or the start of the year.
2. What Can I Celebrate? 
3. What Challenges Did I Face and How Did I Overcome Them? 
4. How Am I Taking Care of Personal Energy: My Mind and My Spirit? 
5. How Am I Taking Care of My Body? 

Tune in to reflect, recalibrate, and reenergize as we move into the second half of the year.

You are not here to get things done. You are not here to hustle.  You are not here to burn out.  You are here to flourish.  And as a byproduct of your flourishing, everything around you will flourish.

According to a recent study published by the Center for Effective Philanthropy, most funders and 95% of leaders in nonprofit organizations express some level of concern about burnout, with 87% of nonprofit leaders expressing concerns about their own burnout and 75% indicating that burnout among their staff is impacting their organization’s ability to achieve its mission.

This week we’re sharing another playback of a recent Impact Table Visionary Speaker Session with Nataly Kogan, Founder and CEO of Happier, Inc. and the Founder of the Awesome Human Project, who shares about her own burnout story, what she's learned, and the beliefs and practices that we all need to live happier, more flourishing lives.
