Build Authority Through Care Led Leadership with Patti Dayleg

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.

0:00 | 48:04

Charlotte is joined by Patti Dayleg, MPH Leadership Coach and CEO of Malaya Solutions, to explore what care led leadership looks like when DEI is politicised, funding is uncertain, and mission driven teams are stretched thin. 

Patti shares how leaders can stay grounded, connected, and effective while navigating fear, secondary trauma, and constant change across the nonprofit and social impact landscape.

They discuss why leadership stability matters, how burnout grows when people lose a sense of impact, and why evidence of outcomes helps leaders stay focused. Patti also breaks down her relationship led approach to business development, including why one email and one Instagram post reactivated her network, and what she would do if starting again from scratch.

Key topics covered

- DEI backlash and real world impact on nonprofits and communities 
- Healing leadership, somatics, and staying grounded under pressure 
- Leadership turnover, team protection, and organisational stability 
- Defining success in mission based work versus growth driven models 
- Funding shifts, coalition funding, and collaboration in philanthropy 
- Relationship based business development without the online hustle
