108. How to Foster Grief-Informed Teams at Work - Michael Turner

Meet Mike. Have you ever met a nonprofit leader whose passion for their mission just wants you to understand their story? Well, that guy is here. And he's brought a seriously incredible story to our conversation. And he's having the tough conversations with his team who are receiving mental health support unlike anything we've seen in nonprofit. It's wonderful to see. We're talking grief informed teams and we have a special surprise for our listeners at the end of the episode. Warning: Bring tissues.
