if you’re interested in what it looks like to grow a foundation and stay connected to the community you serve, you’re going to love this conversation on the Discovery Pod podcast episode featuring our very own Cathryn Wilson, BC Achievement’s Executive Director!
Interviewer Doug Nelson (President and Manager, The Discovery Group) starts by noting that BC Achievement Foundation is an unique organization both in its purpose and its structure and there’s a lot that people can learn from how Cathryn and her colleagues do their work and serve their purpose.
Cathryn shares her insights into the foundation’s journey and the importance of storytelling. “The foundation was started over two decades ago so we’re just entering our 21st year. Our job is to serve the people of British Columbia and to tell their stories – we’re in the business the storytelling. We lift people up, we shine a light on the work that they are doing, and we do so with the intent to inspire others. It goes beyond just telling the stories of excellence; it’s so that others can see themselves in these stories and follow these leads of these remarkable British Columbians.”
From discussing how leadership plays a pivotal role in uplifting communities, to growing a team, to fostering inclusion and recognition, this conversation delves into the strategies that have helped BC Achievement drive impactful change and inspire excellence while strengthening communities across the province.
