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
TOPIC CATEGORY: Business
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. MORE >
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.
