028 Charity Leadership and Wellbeing, with Steph Dickinson

Steph Dickinson is a brilliant human being and the Managing Director of Pie Factory, a charity based in Ramsgate, Kent.

We talk about:

  • Managing home life, running a charity over the pandemic, and the need to pace and navigate as humanly and honestly as possible.
  • Challenging and changing culture in the not-for-profit sector.
  • Honest and authentic practice and leadership, and a world that means people love themselves, each other and the plane.
  • Growing up in a working class background and existing in tension, providing a perspective and curiosity to the world.
  • Steph's journey from participant to Managing Director of Pie Factory, and how she stepped into the role as herself.
  • What Do Good and Do Well means and how a burnout early on her career helped her to recognise her worth.
  • Questioning 'what is good' and how do we cause the least amount of harm.
  • Wellbeing and the connection with productivity - and why that's a problem.
