CSS RERUN -- Running the Long Game Through Vision, Resilience & Reinvention

In this inspiring episode, Debra McGuire President & CEO of the Private Directors Association, shares her powerful journey from chasing gold on the track -- where her high school goal was to beat none other than a highly-decorated former Olympian -- to redefining success after a devastating injury. She unpacks how learning to pivot, embrace fresh perspectives, and rebuild from the ground up became her greatest life lessons. Now, as a mission-driven leader representing over 3,500 members in the private sector, Debra champions the critical role private companies play in driving economic growth, innovation, and employment. With decades in the nonprofit world and a deep commitment to service, she brings a clear-eyed view on disruption, transformation, and what it truly means to succeed—not just by winning, but by getting back up, evolving, and lifting others along the way.
