058 Purpose, the how and starting with self, with Tom Andrews

This week, on Do Good & Do Well, I'm chatting with Tom Andrews.

Tom is Head of Member Support at ACEVO supporting Chief Executives of charities and social enterprises. He is the founder and ex-CEO of two pioneering charities: Music for Change and People United. Tom is a qualified coach and counsellor and enjoys inventing games, ambient music, silent retreats and football.

Things we talk about:

• The thread through Tom's working life that hasn't been planned but that come from purpose

• How do you go from idea to action and keep going in the early days of setting up

• What lessons Tom learned from setting up an organisation that he wants to remember

• How to 'stay in your own lane' when you have loads of ideas

• Why the question 'how' is so important when the drive is for outputs, outcomes, targets etc.

• What the challenges are for charity leaders right now?

• Remembering the joy and what is going well is important

• Starting with self first to enable things to really happen

• Is it possible to put yourself first when you're tackling social justice?

• The ASP theory - created during the recording!

• Remembering the light with the dark

• What's the biggest gift we might give ourselves
