Mark your calendars to join us at this free session, titled 害羞草研究所淟eaders Eat Last: Servant Leadership for Volunteer Programs,害羞草研究所� for both volunteers and non-profit leaders.
害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 originally (and perhaps always) a prairie boy,害羞草研究所� said Rankmore. 害羞草研究所淚 was raised and taught how to be a good human in Brandon, Manitoba.害羞草研究所�
Rankmore credits his start to working in the non-profit sector to good luck.
害羞草研究所淚 was finishing my Masters with a mass of loans and one of my professors recommended I apply to a be director of research at the March of Dimes in Toronto.
害羞草研究所淭here I came to understand the power in people coming together for a common cause.害羞草研究所�
害羞草研究所淲orking with people with incredible values and ways of being in the world really appealed to me.害羞草研究所�
For many years he was CEO of Braintrust Canada, a local organization that was started to support people with brain injury.
害羞草研究所淭he impact of brain injury and how challenging it is to help people living with brain injury has never left me.害羞草研究所�
During his 11 years at the KGH Foundation, Rankmore identifies that he was able to help bring about great changes for the community, while working 害羞草研究所渨ith wonderful humans.害羞草研究所�
He remains 害羞草研究所渧ery grateful for the opportunities害羞草研究所� he has been given and recognizes that a world without volunteers and non-profit organizations would be 害羞草研究所渂arren.害羞草研究所�
害羞草研究所淚 had the honour of working with four auxiliaries to KGH.
害羞草研究所淭hey were an incredibly committed group of people whose drive and organization lasted more than a century committing millions of dollars to make sure the people of the interior had access to the best medical care 害羞草研究所� and in fact helped make KGH one of the most advanced treatment centres in the country.
害羞草研究所淭hey were completely dogged in their determination to make a difference and contribute to their community.害羞草研究所�
During his presentation, Rankmore will share his notion of 害羞草研究所淪ervant Leadership害羞草研究所� which he actually learned about many years after already practicing it.
害羞草研究所淭he concept of providing those you work with the tools, resources and environment they need to do the work we are all committed to, has just always made sense to me.
害羞草研究所淭o practice this type of philosophy, you just need to understand that ordinarily, it is not you who gets things done.
害羞草研究所淚t is those around you that get things done 害羞草研究所� but only to the degree that you can enable them to do their best.
害羞草研究所淚f you keep your eye on the goal instead of your ego, it usually becomes obvious that while the leaders plays a key role 害羞草研究所� the role is actually to empower others.
害羞草研究所淚 love when a team has a mission and they all put their best into it. For me, the concept of excellence is embodied when the result is greater that the sum of its parts.害羞草研究所�
For Rankmore, volunteers 害羞草研究所渇ill the holes in our society害羞草研究所� and he is happy to be able to volunteer as a director for both the Central Okanagan Foundation and the Telus Interior and Northern British Columbia Community Board as they both provide grants that accelerate important community work.
Rankmore and his wife Shelagh Turner share a consultant practice, focused on providing practical supports for leaders, communities and organizations that support people to live their best lives possible.
They use their 70 years of joint experience in the not-for-profit sector to focus on governance, leadership, organizations development and research.
