Radio Free 501c: Sustaining the Health of Chief Staff Executives with Adam Levy and Silvia Quevedo April 14, 2025

Episode 281: We rely on Chief Staff Executives (CSEs) to lead the organization in partnership with the Board of Directors. As exciting, challenging, and fulfilling this job can be, it is also a stressful and lonely job too. Working in isolation can lead to depression, additional stress, sleep disruption, and even thoughts of self harm. In this episode, two CSEs, Adam Levy, CAE, of the American Cleft-Palate Association, and Silvia Quevedo, CAE, of Lamaze International, share the results of a study done among CSEs about sustaining their health on all levels. This important conversation needs to continue and with the leadership of the study authors: Adam, Silvia, Lindsay Currey, CAE, and Tara Puckey, CAE, our community can look forward to increasing support for all CSEs. If you want to be a CSE or you already have or had the job, you'll find this honest conversation will get you thinking. How do you stay healthy as a staff leader? Share a comment!
