John is a Norfolk star. CEO of YMCA Norfolk, I never tire of John’s calm, thoughtful and pragmatic approach to leadership. I always come away from a conversation with John enriched with some new idea or perspective. And I hope you do too from this 30 second podbite in which I asked him about his first thoughts and actions when he hears that funding is going to be cut.

You’ve guessed it, John’s answer is thoughtful as well as thought-provoking and brings a calmness in that moment when the head might want to spin.

You can listen to John here and listen to all the podbites on my YouTube channel.
