Leading Like Her

In today's episode, I interview Gina Murdoch, the President and CEO of MSAA - The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America. We chat about how her interest and drive to help others motivated her to join MSAA and other nonprofit organizations.

The best way to see if you want to pursue a career in a nonprofit space is to VOLUNTEER!! You will meet people within the organization that can connect with you and help you understand the culture and mission of that association. You also never know when that connection will open doors and opportunities down the road.

Gina  stresses the importance of having an AMAZING team and how the pandemic affected the MSAA mission and strategy.

I HATE Performance Reviews. I hate giving them. I hate getting them. They are SO uncomfortable. But as a leader, I need to be able to give and receive criticism in a constructive and professional way. So today's episode focuses on the importance of being objective, and taking the review process seriously.

It's ok to feel your feelings. Just don't dwell there!

Crucial Conversations is a GREAT book to reference when having these feedback discussions. Amazon link is:

OMG people! This conversation with Joan is SUCH a good one. Joan has been a recruiter for over 20 years and is a wealth of information. We talk about how to get noticed during the screening process, when and how to ask about compensation, how to tell if you are talking to a GOOD recruiter, and great advice IF you are a recruiter that is listening!

I am SO thankful to Joan for coming on and being so helpful!

In this episode, I tell a story from EARLY in my career when I was SEVERELY underestimated. Sometimes we need to push through the frustration and PROVE that we are meant to be there, leading our teams effectively and showing what we are capable of. 

Today's quote is from "The Thin Line Between Cupcake and Bitch" by Joni Wickham! If you have not picked up this book, I STRONGLY recommend it. Her blend of stories and life lessons is SO GOOD and I cannot WAIT to have her on the show in a few weeks!!

I am SO excited to sit down with author and good friend, Candace Buford. Candace has had a VERY curvy path to published, and we talk about her 5 year plan, her parent's expectations, and how she navigated her way through the publishing world to release her first Young Adult novel, KNEEL!

Candace has asked that any aspiring writer's out there that need some advice, email her at: [email protected].
You can also tag Candace on Instagram, or share this podcast and tag @leadinglike her and we will hook you up!

Pick up Kneel wherever books are sold, or on Amazon!
