Putnam Consulting Group with Kris Putnam-Walkerly

April 28, 2021

No matter how much money you have, you won't be able to make the change you want in the world if you're unable to tap into the right communities that get impacted by the problem you wish to solve. Douglas Nelson's guest today is Kris Putnam-Walkerly, founder of Putnam Consulting Group. In this episode, Kris shares the experiences that led her to write her book Delusional Altruism, which explores the common errors many philanthropists make. She explains how many entrepreneurs apply their innovative and money-generating skills to social change yet still forget the value of engaging diverse coalitions of people in solving systems change issues. Join this conversation to discover other ways donors get things wrong and how they can make things right.
