We’re thrilled to announce the return of Circles USA’s breakout podcast series The Big View: Ending Poverty in Your Community! Join Chief Learning Officer Kris Alexander, Executive Director Kamatara Johnson, and a cohort of poverty alleviation guest experts as we launch a fresh round of smart, dynamic dialogues on the issues central to Circles USA Big View teamwork nationwide.
At Circles, we believe that everyone can make a meaningful impact—and everyone has a role to play in the journey to reduce poverty. The first season of The Big View pod unpacked the five stages our participants encounter on this journey: Crisis Intervention, Stabilization, Readiness, Placement and Advancement.
In Season 2: The Big View Mindset, our team explores how intentional mindsets and values can inspire lasting systemic change and fuel our movement to eradicate poverty. We’ll offer a deep dive into the transformative mindset and culture that drive Circles USA’s Big View approach, touching on topics at the heart of our relationship-based model for building community to end poverty. New episodes will address:
centering those closest to the challenge;
values-based organizing;
relational relationships;
narrative change;
empathic intelligence;
appreciative inquiry;
generative dialogue;
…and much, much more!
Tune in to this season of The Big View: Ending Poverty in Your Community and join our journey to move communities from surviving to thriving.
