“[The value in mentoring is] in seizing the moment, having the heart of a teacher, finding those teachable moments in the middle of the day.” –Holly Moore
Welcome to this episode of the Next Gen Nonprofit Leadership With Tommy Thomas podcast. I’m grateful for all the great and informative guests that have given us their time.
From time to time, I want to have a “best of” episode—a time when we can go back and review what have been some of the highlights from previous episodes.
In this episode, we’ll highlight some of our favorite moments with Holly Moore, Bob Lonac, Carl Zylstra, Emily Sarmiento, Jim Loscheider, Jeff Jowdy, and Norm Hall. You can find links to their full episodes below.
Thanks again for joining us today. If you’re listening to an app that lets you leave a review, please do so. A lot of our listeners come to us on the recommendation of a friend or a colleague. If you’ve heard something today that’s worth passing on, please share the show with others.
Enjoy!
“My two greatest failures are my two greatest experiences, of finding God and moving to a better place.”
-Bob Lonac
