Kris Putnam is a global philanthropy advisor, who for the past twenty years has successfully advised some of the world’s major philanthropists, transforming their giving and maximising their impact.

Kris joins Paul to discuss the incredible work she does, and why more targeted, considered philanthropy may prove more effective in today’s world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
People always want to allocate their philanthropic funding in order to create change, but often get in their own way. Sometimes beliefs can hinder the impact they are seeking to effect.
Before we begin to give freely, we must ensure that we are taking care of ourselves. This can be through learning or development, but the end goal should always be growth.
Most funders do genuinely want to make a difference in the world when they give away their wealth with charitable intentions, but are often misguided in the way they do it.
Guilt can play an interesting role with the wealthy. Especially in terms of those who have inherited their wealth, a sense of guilt around their privileged place in the world can lead to a belief that self-development is not worth pursuing.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I help them to increase the clarity, impact and joy of their giving’

‘In order to help other people, you need to take care of yourself’

‘You do have to take the time and be willing to change the lens with which you’re thinking about your giving’

‘We need to be the best philanthropists and donors that we can be'

ABOUT THE HOST

One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!” 

Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.

Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.

“Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!”
