What if care was recognized as the foundation of our economy—not an afterthought? In this episode of The Power of Partnership, Cherri Jacobs Pruitt speaks with Austrian consultant and activist Elisabeth Sechser, whose work boldly re-centers care at the heart of economics, leadership, and everyday life. As an expert in organizational development, Elisabeth shows ways to build partnership-based companies and overcome patriarchal, domination organization-systems.

This episode also includes discussion on the invisibility of unpaid care work—and how she is creating a cooperative, community-based, care model for children and youth with specific health care needs.
