Welcome to the ”Lead for Good” podcast, designed for nonprofit leaders at every level. Join us as we connect with top nonprofit professionals, diving deep into the traits, strategies, and actions that drive successful leadership in the sector. Our mission is to empower you with the knowledge and insights needed to elevate your leadership skills and maximize your impact. In each episode, our host, Chris Looney, interviews an inspiring leader committed to making a difference. Today we welcome Nicole Suydam, who has devoted more than three decades to empowering individuals through human service leadership. Nicole currently serves as the CEO of Goodwill of Orange County and was before that the CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. To talk about Nicole as an expert leader in the nonprofit sector is a compliment but just too limiting for all that Nicole is as a person and has achieved professionally. Nicole has been a good friend for decades and I’m thrilled to be able to dig into her leadership journey with you all. We’ll also explore the perceptions versus realties of the nonprofit sector and then have a discussion about how collaborations among nonprofits are not competitive but expansive. Get ready for an enlightening conversation that will inspire you to lead for good!
