This show tailored to leaders in international development provides aid workers with advice, lessons learned and inspirational ideas from peers in our field who have experiences to share or are just “doing things differently.” Whether you are a Country Manager with years of experience or a Project Manager in a new leadership position, host Torrey Peace navigates the challenges common to aid workers that are unique to our field, such as time management in an unpredictable environment, leading and unifying teams from diverse cultural backgrounds, different perspectives on community development or how to do it all while maintaining our own physical health and important relationships, with time for travel and adventure!
