WHEN WE'RE IN CHARGE by Amanda Litman is out today! This book is a no-bullshit guide for the next generation of leaders on how to show up differently, break the cycle of bad boomer leadership, and navigate the changing demands of those in power and the evolving expectations people have of their workplace. "Too many of us got our starts in workplaces where the idea of living a full life outside of work was frowned upon for junior members of the team and was often poorly modeled by leadership. Millennial and Gen Z workers are rejecting that work has to be that way—as next-gen leaders, we can take the next steps to turn that sentiment into structural support for rest."

What is a giving circle? And how does it work? Hali Lee breaks it down with Sweet July Books publisher Ayesha Curry! It’s simple: A group of people comes together to pool their resources (big or small) and collectively decides where to give. Hali Lee's own giving circle has been doing this for 19 years—raising $1.9 MILLION along the way. How? A simple recipe: drinking, eating, hanging out, raising money, and then giving it away. THE BIG WE is full of stories like this—real people coming together to make a difference.  Now available wherever you find your books! https://lnkd.in/eX3duRMP #philanthropy #givingcircle #thebigwe
