Jon sits down with his present day mentor, sounding board and dear friend Toni Aspin.
Toni's career story to date is as remarkable as it is eclectic. She has been the executive director at Centrum Arts in Port Townsend, the managing director at Richard Hugo House Literary Arts Center, and the CFO at the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. She was a founding director at not one but two commercial banks in Washington State, and our paths crossed when she was brought in as the executive director at One Reel during a time of unprecedented transformation within the organization.
Toni recently earned a PhD in transformative studies. She is a CPA. She has earned an MBA from the University of Washington, and graduated with honors from the Pacific Coast Banking School. Presently she teaches at the University of Washington - Tacoma, and has a consulting practice providing guidance to enterprise leaders with an emphasis on start-up planning, strategic growth advancement, organizational capacity building, governance counsel and executive coaching.
This episode covers a lot of ground. Themes include leadership and mentorship, self-awareness, and the paths we follow through our life and career. Through it all runs a strong contextual thread of finance and non-profit governance, as well as Toni and Jon's shared belief in the Servant Leadership philosophy of Robert Greenleaf.
Toni's thinking and insights have the potential to trigger transformational changes in your thinking, in your career, and your life. This episode is part one of two.
