    • with Michael Kaufman MSW, PhD. Effective Leadership: Advocacy, respect, and elevating others through inspiration.

      In this episode, my mentor, colleague, and friend, Dr. Michael Kaufman, MSW, reflects on his journey as a helping professional and educational and organizational leader.

      Dr. Mike has worked in psychiatric settings, schools, and clinics, with Veterans, with people with PTSD, abandoned children, and, of course, in special education, while mentoring many people along the way. His formal training in accounting, social work, and clinical psychology has led to a successful career building outstanding support services for children, adolescents, and adults, grounded in a strengths-based perspective and elevating others.

      Adding author to his list of accomplishments, “Doing good & doing well- Inspiring Helping Professionals to Become Leaders in their Organizations,” shares lessons from a 30+ year career through personal stories and lived experiences. It aims to inspire helpers to exercise the power they already possess and to pursue a fruitful, fulfilling path of professional development and organizational leadership.

      I have personally called Dr. Mike's book “A must-read for any helper who truly wants to be the change that makes a difference-you will be so inspired to step into your purpose with integrity and live the life of your dreams.” Helpers, we can do it!

      May he inspire you as much as he has inspired me.

      ~Donna
