Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast, we welcome Nancy Ortberg. Nancy’s leadership journey has been anything but linear—starting in nursing and spending nearly a decade in hospitals and emergency rooms before moving into church leadership at a megachurch and later consulting alongside Patrick Lencioni.
For the past ten years, she has helped lead a major nonprofit movement across the Bay Area and recently transitioned into a new season after passing leadership to her successor. With a passion for building healthy cultures, Nancy has shaped thousands of leaders around the world.
Join us as she shares insights from working with top leaders and her perspective on bringing humanity and servant leadership into everyday life.
