WATERLOO – September 16, 2020

 – For ministry and non-profit organizations that usually thrive with a good five-year plan, 2020 has changed everything. As The Change Makers Podcast with Ellen Graf-Martin launches its second season on September 16, 2020, listeners can listen in on real-life conversations with leaders across Canada that are navigating the immense changes of the ‘next normal,’ of this global crisis.

When Ellen Graf-Martin, host of The Change Makers Podcast with Ellen Graf-Martin, began recording episodes for season two, she knew that some profound leadership lessons were being lived out in realtime. This has played out in deep, honest conversations with non-profit, ministry and church leaders, providing an opportunity for listeners to lean in and hear the unique challenges, changes and opportunities that sector leaders are facing and responding to during the global pandemic.“It’s obvious that 2020 has caused so many of us leadership whiplash as the space we serve is changing rapidly, and we are walking through this crisis, learning as we go,” said Ellen Graf-Martin, host of The Change Makers Podcast with Ellen Graf-Martin and President and Founder of Graf-Martin Communications. “We need each other more than ever. My hope for season two of the podcast is that listeners will find new friends as they’re invited into these conversations of embracing change in real-time with leaders across the country.”Originally launched in January 2020, The Change Makers Podcast with Ellen Graf-Martin has been shockingly timely. Featuring interviews discussing topics of marriage and ministry, succession, diversity in the Church, leadership and grief, technology and effective marketing, listeners have a unique opportunity to learn from each guest and to feel less alone in their own vocational journey.
