Show Notes

In this episode, we are joined by Becky Hirst, a community engagement expert to discuss the importance of people-centered approach in decision-making. We chat about why a people-centered approach is a must-have in government decision-making and discuss her book on community engagement, which offers a unique perspective on the topic.

This episode shines a light on the magic of face-to-face interactions over digital chats, bringing nonverbal cues into the spotlight. It's all about empathy, lending an ear, and working together when it comes to leadership. Becky also dives into the crucial topics of mental health, respect, and empathy in community engagement, recommending some handy self-awareness tools and setting some helpful ground rules.
