Message Received: how authentic communication helps us find our voice and share our story - Kendra Fee-McNulty | S4E4

Kendra Fee-McNulty, founder of Raveloe+Co, leads an empathy-driven marketing consultancy that helps mission-driven organisations find their voice and share their stories authentically. We discuss effective storytelling and how to balance creativity and commerce without compromising your values.

Conversation Themes

• Kendra’s personal journey, including her experience as an adopted child and how it influenced her need to belong and excel, shaping her communication skills and career choices.
• Empathy as a Superpower: The ability to empathise deeply with others by understanding their thoughts, fears, and barriers.
• Misunderstanding and Connection: How misunderstandings arise from the gap between intention and perception, and how they can lead to disconnection but also offer opportunities for deeper connection and understanding.
• Building Scaffolding: The necessity for people, especially those who are curious and caring, to build personal scaffolding to thrive in environments not always conducive to authenticity and growth.
• Authentic Communication: The importance of authentic communication for mission-driven organisations to effectively share their stories and connect with their communities.
