Vibrant Vulnerability: The Changing Nature of Leadership for Nonprofits The role of CEO, whether in healthcare or as leader of a church, is drastically changing to include being the "chief fundraising officer." The choice is not whether one likes the change, but rather whether or not one chooses to embrace the change. Randall Hallett is the CEO and Founder of Hallett Philanthropy, a full-service philanthropy consulting firm. Having spent his entire career in philanthropy, Randall is passionate about helping organizations seek funding to meet their mission. He believes giving is good for one's emotional and physical well-being. Before founding Hallett Philanthropy, Randall served as President and Principal Consultant for a large consulting firm. He oversaw all client programs on behalf of the 30+ person firm. The final four years of his seven-year tenure were the most profitable for the organization. Randall has worked with systems, hospitals, and medical centers here in the US and across the globe, including Intermountain Health System, Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) System, Dignity Health System, AdventHealth System, Indiana University Health System, University of California Irvine, Baylor University Medical Center, University of Missouri, University of Miami, Marshfield Clinic Health, Manitoba Children's Hospital (Canada), and St. Vincent's Current (Australia) Genesis Health. Before joining Gobel Consulting, Randall was the Chief Development Officer (CDO) and MedCenter Senior Executive at the Nebraska Medical Center, where he was responsible for all aspects of fundraising, including the introduction of a major gift solicitations program through physician engagement, a concierge program, and a planned giving effort which led to a 600 percent increase during his tenure. Randall and his team supported the $370 million 18-month fundraising effort for the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. Before working with MedCenter, Randall spent 15 years in various fundraising positions, all in the chief development officer role. Randall holds a Bachelor's Degree in business and finance from the University of Nebraska-Omaha, a Master's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, a Juris Doctorate with a personal focus in taxation issues of estates and trusts from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and an Educational Doctorate in leadership from the University of St. Thomas. Randall believes in being an industry leader. He has written his book on the CEO in nonprofits, Vibrant Vulnerability.

TW: This episode discusses sexual assault and rape, which may be triggering for some individuals. Lauren Thomas is a person with narcolepsy, a narcolepsy advocate and works in the champagne business. In this vulnerable and candid episode, Lauren shares how she was diagnosed with narcolepsy just a little over a year and a half ago, but recounts how narcolepsy symptoms were part of her childhood. Lauren also shares her journey with mental health issues, which she now considers were linked to narcolepsy and directly contributed to her delayed diagnosis. After college, she finally saw an endocrinologist, who was helping her with weight loss and recommended a sleep study. This was a pivotal experience that led to a diagnosis of Type 1 Narcolepsy at the age of 28. Despite Lauren’s long journey to diagnosis, she’s taken time to fine tune her medication and adapt her life to support her symptom management, and during this period began to work for her family’s company, Cheurlin Champagne, the 1st African American-owned Champagne Company. Lauren also tested positive for COVID-19 this past March. She shares her experience fighting the virus and how her symptoms weren’t necessarily the standard symptoms being communicated. You can follow Lauren at @lmt826 on Instagram and her family’s business, Cheurlin Champagne, @cheurlin1788 on Instagram. If you are interested in finding out more information about Cheurlin Champagne go to www.cheurlin.com. Lauren recommends Wide Awake and Dreaming by Julie Flygare. She is on the planning committee for World Narcolepsy Day with Project Sleep. She also recommends an alarm clock called MedCenter. She says, “ I am obsessed with my talking alarm clock. I can set up to 4 different alarms at a time and it literally says ‘the time is .... this your reminder to take your meds..’ relentlessly, it’s annoyingly efficient!” You can follow Wake Up Narcolepsy at @narcolepsy_360 on Instagram, @wakeupnarcolepsy on Instagram and Facebook and @wakenarcolepsy on Twitter.
