Changing Lanes, Changing Lives

Are you a senior corporate executive who wants to make a leap to the non-profit world? What are the risk and rewards? This book spells it out by recounting the journeys of a baker’s dozen of corporate high-fl¬iers who have made this transition and more than thrived. Their stories tell what non-profit leaders actually do, what they had to consider in making the decision about whether to change jobs, what they learnt after shifting from a corporate to a non-profit, and their advice for anyone considering a similar move. Changing Lanes, Changing Lives is the first-ever collection of stories about corporate leaders who have transitioned to become successful non-profit champions. The book tells the inspiring stories of the following non-profit leaders: • Alfred Tan (Singapore Children’s Society) • Colin Goh (The Old Parliament House) • Corinna Lim (AWARE) • Tim Oei (AWWA) • Veronica Gamez (aidha) • Yap Su-Yin (Tan Chin Tuan Foundation) • Chan Wah Tiong (All Saints Home) • Junko Yoda (Community Linked) • Foo Pek Hong (Kidney Dialysis Foundation) • Debbie Seah (Make-A-Wish Foundation) • William Wan (Singapore Kindness Movement) • Jose Raymond (Singapore Environment Council) • Martina Wong (School Pocket Money Fund) CNPL President Laurence Lien, who, himself, left a successful public service career to be the CEO of the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, contributes a foreword.
