Show by TruStory FM
Grief touches nearly everyone, yet many of the institutions where we spend our lives, from schools to workplaces, still struggle to support people through it.In this episode of Purpose 360, Carol Cone welcomes back Heather Nesle, President of the New York Life Foundation and Senior Vice President of Corporate Responsibility, for a conversation about what nearly two decades of work in child bereavement has taught the New York Life Foundation about creating lasting change. Heather shares research revealing critical gaps in grief support, practical ways schools and employers can better respond, and how New York Life Foundation has turned those insights into resources, coalitions, and programs reaching thousands of communities.Heather also discusses their new Coaching the Future initiative and gives listeners an early look at the Golden Sweater Project, a powerful new program launching this November that invites people everywhere to honor those they’ve lost by sharing the objects, songs, recipes, and other meaningful reminders that keep their memories and connections alive. And for corporate purpose leaders, Heather shares lessons from New York Life Foundation’s experience on strategic focus, employee engagement, authentic alignment, and the evolving role of corporate philanthropy.Purpose 360 is produced by TruStory FM.Full Show Notes & Resources: https://trustory.fm/purpose360/building-a-grief-sensitive-world-with-heather-nesle/View on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pjYoqXjeHbo (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Heather Nesle, New York Life Foundation (03:49) - Grief (05:28) - Lots to Learn Still (06:44) - Grief-Sensitive Locations (11:52) - Being an Ambassador (13:19) - Why We Struggle with Discussing This (15:12) - Penetrating the Workplace (18:44) - Researching What Adults Need (20:17) - Working with Sesame (21:44) - Coaching the Future (24:33) - Integrating Grief Knowledge (25:24) - Golden Sweater Project (27:03) - Philanthropy Today (28:52) - Becoming More Courageous (29:44) - Thinking to the Future (31:14) - Being Open About Grief (32:17) - Last Words (32:52) - Wrap Up
