Description

We were lucky to get David Humphries in the studio today -- he's not traveling to all corners of the earth facilitating community-based education and development right now. We had a great conversation that goes from Kenya to Colombia to Liberia and connects the dots between vastly different communities to find a common thread of success. We've heard this from previous guests on Through the Noise: development specialists widely recognize the crucial need to involve the local community in education and health-transformation efforts. Even if your organization has a wildly different focus, there's still much to learn that can be widely applied across all fields. Don't miss this conversation or David's melodic Scottish accent today on Through the Noise. David Humphries is Vice President for Communications & Public Affairs at Global Communities, where he oversees all aspects of outreach from branding to media and government relations across 25 countries. David has lived and worked in the USA, Japan and the UK, is a prize-winning playwright, a 2011 Aspen Ideas Scholar, and a 2013 recipient of PR Week’s 40 Under 40 award. Global Communities is an international non-profit organization that works closely with communities worldwide to bring about sustainable changes that improve the lives and livelihoods of the vulnerable.

The world is fast, ever-changing, and unpredictable. We stand across climate change, technological advancements, fragile economies, market trends, changing regulations, and now a pandemic. The key to survival and success is adaptation. We sit down with the passionate leaders of innovative companies and nonprofits that want to change the world, with fascinating authors who expand our minds, and with association heads who give us a clear picture of their industries. We cut Through The Noise and find out what makes them special, how they survive, what risks they take, what obstacles they face, how they build success. Adaptation is at our core.
