#10 How Waymaking Unlocks Growth in People and Teams
What if the most important thing you do this year isn’t your next project, but the person you choose to invest in?
In this episode of the Collective Impact Podcast, Scott sits down with leadership and workplace culture strategist **Tara J. Frank** to explore what it really means to be a *waymaker*—someone who intentionally clears obstacles and opens doors so others can step into their God-given potential.
Drawing from decades of executive experience and her work with The Waymaker Change Group, Tara shares a simple, human picture of what every person longs for: to be **seen, respected, valued, and protected**. Together, Scott and Tara connect these ideas to nonprofit work, global ministry, and everyday life—especially for those serving in marginalized communities.
If you’ve ever wondered how your influence, experience, and relationships could help raise up local “change makers” around the world (or in your own church), this conversation will give you language, vision, and next steps to start making a way for others.
In this Episode:
What it really means to be a waymaker—and how that goes beyond traditional mentoring
The four core needs every person has: to be seen, respected, valued, and protected
How leaders in nonprofits and ministry can accidentally miss the needs of their own teams
How lessons from corporate leadership translate directly into community and church contexts
The unique passion of younger leaders—and the tension between ideals and real-world complexity
A practical way to think about “power” as insight, access, and opportunity you can share
A gentle challenge for leaders: wake up each day asking, “Who can I make a way for today?”
