The nonprofit sector and the UN make decisions that affect all of our lives. This sector is among the most interesting and most challenging in which to work as an executive.
The following leaders offer relevant counsel about an executive career in non-profit organisations and the UN:
As an executive I need to go back to Methodist Ladies College (MLC) and Wesley College. Wesley, for example, was Australia’s largest school. Being Principal gave me the chance to assist a great number of students and to influence the direction of education in the state of Victoria and even overseas. MLC in particular, where I was for 18 years, became a reference site for such things as technology, residential learning, school structure, and middle schooling. In work I found fulfilment and challenge. The work was important and I was able to make a difference. Personally, I was able to promote my two books [The Inner Principal, & Jousting for the New Generation], that I am also hoping will be an instrument of change.

UNICEF is an important international organization. Its staff come from all over the globe and display diversified talents for the benefit of children worldwide. As a regional fundraising and marketing manager, I offer private sector donors a wide choice of inspiring opportunities to support the children of the world. In a sense I offer opportunities for donors to open their hearts and engage their minds. As a global citizen, this is the organization I am proud to work with.

As an executive working for the United Nations, the work that I do has an impact on meeting the ideals of the UN such as peace, human rights and sustainable development. I enjoy contributing to the work of the UN and have been posted in Latin America, Asia, and Europe. This has given me an opportunity to work with people from different countries and cultures. I am able to respond to today’s challenges enriched by a broad and global perspective.

To misquote Shakespeare; ‘the sports the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the King.’ I may have got that from my coach at Clovelly – Tom Caddy. As long as I was near the water I was happy – I loved swimming. The personal development of the students was the reward and several champions went off to the Olympics, World Championships, Channel Swims…
