"I have a lot of doubts about volunteerism these days. We're still mostly focused on how to ask for funding, how to quantify impact, how to get more people working for free. These conversations haven't changed in 30 years. It can be hard to know what to do if you're running an organization and tempted to rely on volunteers out of necessity. If this is you, I'd suggest having a conversation with Jessica. She's aware of the complexities and contradictions in doing our work while navigating issues of labour justice, and choosing when/how to resist vs being complicit (which we all have to do, every day.) And if it really just isn't going to work, she'll tell you that too. Jessica also understands the challenge of working with board members--who are also volunteers--and the issues of power and privilege, the weird motivations/expectations they can bring, and the petty personal conflicts they sometimes get into. I've gotten good advice from Jessica and always enjoy our conversations."
What a coaching session with me feels like...
"My coaching session with Jessica was really inspiring. She shared several resources with me that I was unaware of, and listened to my organization’s challenges intently. I left our session with several ideas that I will implement! I was impressed by the research Jessica obviously did prior to our call; she asked me several questions that indicated she was well-researched and prepared for the session. If you’re stuck solving problems at work related to corporate volunteerism, I highly recommend scheduling a call with Jessica to brainstorm solutions."
