Changing Lanes, Changing Lives (ePub)

Are you a senior corporate executive who wants to make a leap to the non-profit world? What are the risk and rewards? This book spells it out by recounting the journeys of a baker's dozen of corporate high-fl¬iers who have made this transition and more than thrived. Their stories tell what non-profit leaders actually do, what they had to consider in making the decision about whether to change jobs, what they learnt after shifting from a corporate to a non-profit, and their advice for anyone considering a similar move.

Changing Lanes, Changing Lives is the first-ever collection of stories about corporate leaders who have transitioned to become successful non-profit champions. The book tells the inspiring stories of the following non-profit leaders:

. Alfred Tan (Singapore Children's Society)

. Colin Goh (The Old Parliament House)

. Tim Oei (AWWA)

. Veronica Gamez (aidha)
