On this episode of The Young Eye International we are joined by the Vice President, Community opportunities and mobilization at United Way of Greater Toronto Area, Nation Cheong. 

I had the privilege of speaking with Nation, a seasoned expert on the value of mentorship and coaching in empowering nonprofits and communities, and habits essential for success.

We delve into strategies for inclusivity and representation, community impact development, and the art of changing the playbook without altering the game. As always, we get personal with our guest, uncovering their beliefs about motivation and consistency, daily routines that cultivated their success, and the advice they wish they could give their younger self.

Tune in for an insightful conversation with Nation Cheong — an exploration into his experiences and the impactful community work he has been involved in.
