The Doing Good Podcast
Welcome to The Doing Good Podcast (formerly Common Sense: Steps to Doing Good), hosted by Karen Philip.
In the world of social impact and international development, we are often preached at about outcomes, KPIs, and capacity building—but we rarely take the time to talk about who we actually are. This is a space designed to peel back the layers of the nonprofit sector to reveal the humanity, the struggles, and the resilience of the people doing the work.
Whether you are a seasoned nonprofit professional, a social entrepreneur, or someone simply looking for a way to make a difference, this podcast offers a roadmap that respects your humanity. We sit down with extraordinary changemakers to move beyond the "what" and the "how" of their organizations, focusing instead on the "who" and the common-sense steps they take to do good better.
What You’ll Discover:
- Raw Stories: Uncovering the personal turning points and internal fuel that keep leaders going when resources are thin.
- Resilience in Action: Practical strategies for balancing the emotional demands of social change with professional boundaries.
- Common Sense Wisdom: Insightful, often counter-intuitive advice from those in the trenches of the Caribbean social development sector and beyond.
- Triumphs & Truths: Celebrating the "heart successes" that data alone can't capture.
About Your Host: Karen Philip is a passionate advocate for authentic impact. Her journey—from dreaming of running children’s homes to navigating the complex landscape of Caribbean social development—has led her to a singular realization: the person behind the mission matters just as much as the mission itself.
