A Legacy of Leaders

What's all the hype around leadership development and why does Resolve Philly want to build a community of leaders? A legacy of good leadership is the emergence and development of more leaders. Investing in the skill and capacity building of our staff, our partners, our Board of Directors, and our colleague organizations from around the country doubles down on the work we are doing together. It make us all better at our jobs, and more importantly, it makes our communities stronger. It makes investments go further, enabling a far greater return. In this episode, Cassie and Jean chat with Julie Christie, a recent graduate of Temple University's Klein College of Media and Communication, Resolve's first intern (back before we were even Resolve), and our current Data and Impact Editor. Julie talks about her own professional development as a young journalist, as well as the capacity-building work she's leading with our newsroom partners around data journalism. You'll also hear from Jamaine Smith, the Chair of Resolve Philly's Board of Directors and Julie Cohen, CEO of Work Life Leader, who each talk about the importance of Resolve Philly's leadership development strategy.
