Five years ago, Derrick Young, Jr. embarked on a mission to address the lack of diversity in advanced education, particularly in fields like law, medicine, and STEM. Despite facing challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and shifts in corporate support, the nonprofit he founded, Leadership Brainery , has emerged as a beacon of hope for underrepresented communities seeking access to higher education.  Co-hosts Julia Patrick and Mitch Stein welcome back Derrick for an insightful discussion on the organization's journey and impact. Young's personal experiences as one of the few men of color in his graduate programs fueled his passion to create change. He emphasizes, "Leadership Brainery increases access to masters and doctoral degrees so that underrepresented communities can establish wealth for themselves and prosperity for their families, but then reinvest back in their communities." This mission is underscored by the organization's commitment to fostering diversity at leadership levels, ensuring marginalized voices are heard in decision-making processes. The conversation dives into the challenges faced by nonprofit leaders like Young, including the need to educate funders about the importance of advanced education and navigating the complexities of HR and finance as a small but growing team. Despite these obstacles, LeadershipBrainery.org has achieved significant milestones. Through strategic alliances with other nonprofits, they've expanded their reach to over 50,000 students, guiding them towards educational opportunities beyond college. The organization's adoption of project management tools like Asana has revolutionized their operations, streamlined workflows and enhanced productivity. With a budget of $1.2 million and the support of over 850 individual donors, Leadership Brainery is making tangible strides in creating pathways to success for underrepresented talent. Thoughout this fast-paced conversation, Young's optimism and resilience shine through as he reflects on the organization's achievements and the transformative impact it's having on individuals and communities. For those inspired to learn more, Leadership Brainery's website offers a comprehensive look into their programs and impact, showcasing the power of education to drive meaningful change in society.Watch on Video!Follow us on the Twitter: @Nonprofit_ShowSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In this week's episode, host Karli Burridge speaks with fellow obesity specialist PA, Ledyi Ballesteros, about how Ledyi's own struggles with her weight led her to the field of obesity medicine, and how she has developed the obesity program at Gonzaba Medical Group, a multispecialty clinic in San Antonio TX, which serves a primarily low-income, elderly, Hispanic population. Ledyi explains how she developed the obesity program, and how she is able to help her patients using culturally sensitive, economic, patient and family-centered approaches. Ledyenska “Ledyi” Baez Ballesteros, MPAS, PA-C Ledyi—a bilingual provider treating patients who speak Spanish and English—began working in internal medicine and urgent care at Gonzaba Medical Group (GMG) in San Antonio, Texas in 2011. She founded the obesity medicine program at GMG in 2015 after gaining around 100 pounds after complications with her first pregnancy in 2014. Ledyi, who now has two kids, subsequently embarked on her own weight loss journey the following year, and her patients began to ask her about it. The resulting pilot program started with an estimated 60 patients. Today, she runs the obesity medicine program at GMG with nearly 700 patients, 75% of whom are Hispanic. Ledyi completed AAPA's Obesity Management in Primary Care Training & Certificate Program in 2018 and earned the Certificate of Advanced Education in Obesity Management for NPs and PAs from the Obesity Medicine Association in 2020. For the past 2 years, she has served as the the Secretary of PAs in Obesity Medicine, and she has been instrumental in helping PAOM become an official caucus of the AAPA. Ledyi has presented on the topic of obesity to members of AAPA, the Association of PAs and NPs, Bexar County Society of PAs, the Society of Army PAs, and the Texas Association of PAs.

On today's show, we interview Director, Digital Standards Office, Technology and Business Transformation, Advanced Education and Skills Training, Sid Tobias who shares with us his distilled wisdom on agile workflow and digital leadership. He mentors new digital teams with the BCDevExchange and teaches digital leadership to executives.  Before this, Sid has served for 25 years in the Canadian Armed Forces.  We start this show with Sid sharing a life-changing incident that sparked his interest in agile methodology.  In 2002, when Sid was stationed aboard a Canadian destroyer in the Persian Gulf near Afghanistan, Canadians' training exercise was wrongly deciphered as a threat by an American F-16 bomber. The F-16 pilot decided to retaliate, and many innocent lives were lost in the aftermath. The Canadian and American leaders were quick to take responsibility and collaborated closely to ensure there was no repeat of such unfortunate incidents. This incident was also the pivot point that made Sid go agile. “How can leaders develop and introduce work procedures that create bigger and more frequent success opportunities across the board?” wondered Sid. You will learn the importance of being a true “Servant Leader” or Leader Gardener” who can recognize the weakest signals from team employees to result in a truly collaborative approach.  As a public safety transformational specialist, Sid emphasizes the importance of a team-driven work approach. We also compare and contrast the waterfall approach to the agile approach. And reveal how a shift towards agile can help organizations fail cheap and pivot quickly. You will also learn how the agile methodology allows the government to rope in private sector enterprises for top-secret projects.  Enjoy! Question That I Ask In Today's Show Why did you decide to get educated in the Agile Methodology? What are some of the major obstacles in the digital transformation drive? From your time in the military, what is the most important leadership lesson that you learned? What are the three words that describe being a Canadian?   What You Will Learn In This Show An agile vs. Waterfall approach How going agile can allow you to fail cheap and pivot quickly Giving up the command-and-control management style and being a “Leader Gardener” to your people instead How going agile can help ensure the success of public-private partnerships And so much more…   Resources BC Dev Exchange - https://bcdevexchange.org/ Sid's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sidtobias/ How to Contact the Show --- Follow Passion Struck on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/passion_struck_podcast -- Combat veteran, multi-industry CEO, and Author John R.
