What does it take to lead when the problems you’re solving are bigger than any one person or organization?

In this episode of The 60 Second Podcast, Matt McCoy sits down with Nicole Lawson, President & CEO of Orchards Children's Services, to discuss what she has learned from leading through complex challenges across behavioral health, veteran care, and children's services.

Nicole explains why mission and mindset often matter more than process, how strong leaders cut through unnecessary noise, and why teams need the courage to challenge the status quo and “fail forward.”

Her message is simple: when there’s a mountain in your way, climbing over it isn’t always the only option.
