From Condemned Hospital to National Nonprofit: Leadership When the Odds Are Absurd
John Wiley, CEPA, CEO, Private Equity Strategist, Navy Veteran, Author, John Franklin Wiley
Request This Free SpeechIn 2009, John Franklin Wiley walked into a 150,000-square-foot abandoned hospital with no funding, no staff, and a vision that made everyone nervous. Within a few years, it became River of Refuge – a fully operational transitional housing campus for homeless working families. This talk isn’t about nonprofit work. It’s about what happens when you lead from conviction instead of a business plan – when the resources are thin, the critics are loud, and the only thing you have going for you is an unwillingness to quit. John shares the real story: the financing nobody thought would work, the volunteers who showed up, the moments when the project should have died, and the lesson that transformed how he leads everything since.

Your audience will walk away with:
• Why vision without a plan still beats a plan without vision
• How to lead when you can’t guarantee the outcome
• The one question that kept the project alive when the money ran outA leadership story for any audience – business, civic, nonprofit, or faith-based.
