Unleashing Compassionate Leadership: Insights from Janneane Madill, Founder of The Alice Sanctuary
Founder of The Alice Sanctuary, Janneane Madill, joins Aram for a conversation about the intricacies of leading an animal sanctuary and a charitable organization.
Janneane has always felt connected to animals, and after doing a school project on factory farming, she became interested in animal rights. This interest followed her into adulthood with her choosing to not consume meat and become a vegan.
She founded the sanctuary 11 years ago after asking herself the big question: why am I here? Trained as a social worker, she had been working in and creating safe spaces for humans. When she really thought about her purpose, she realized her calling was to do this for animals. Love, kindness, compassion, and safety are foundational needs for humans and animals alike.
This conversation explores what it means to become attuned to your core values, leading with integrity, staying the course even when faced with legal battles, and so much more.
