131/ SCOTTISH FUNDRAISING CONFERENCE - ESTHER KWAKU
EPISODE 131
We give the people what they want with an update on the dog. Then with formalities out of the way, Kenneth and James meet your second Keynote Speaker for the Scottish Fundraising Conference as we look forward to Glasgow. We'll soon be roaming the luxurious halls of our favourite event of the year, bringing you our highlights, but for now enjoy an episode packed with the energy you might expect from someone kicking off day two, the one and only Esther Kwaku.
A career which began with a temp job at CRUK, peppered with considered quitting, story-telling and trips to South Sudan, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. We talk about getting to the real story, breaking the template, re-invention, rapping, dream gigs and psychological safety. There’s human-centred AI, laying awake at night with excitement, removing the blockers to progress and the importance of experience over qualifications. Finally we look ahead to Scotland, getting people together in a room and a spoiler for what to expect from the stage.
