Can We Walk The Walk: A Conversation With Marcy Goldstein-Gelb
Marcy Goldstein-Gelb is not only the cohost of the B-change podcast, but she has also served as executive director of several social justice organizations.

In this episode, Marcy shares her experiences: - Disavowing the “leading by bullying” and other top-down approaches she faced in her early nonprofit experiences - Confronting the conflictual pressures of achieving a mission and addressing staff compensation needs - Debunking the all-too-common reluctance by nonprofit leaders to support unionization of their staff
Resources mentioned in the episode: - National Council for Occupational Safety and Health - Harvard University Trade Union Program - Community Economic Development master's program at New Hampshire College -- which has moved to Casey School of Public Service, University of New Hampshire
