Patrick discusses Marc Pitman’s new book, The Surprising Gift of Doubt with the author himself. Marc is the founder of Concord Leadership Group and has been leading organizations and teams for decades.

Combining his ongoing education with his own experience, Marc helps leaders lead their teams with more effectiveness and less stress. In addition to his latest book, he’s also the author of Ask Without Fear, which has been translated into Dutch, Polish, Spanish, and Mandarin. He’s also the executive director of TheNonprofitAcademy.com and a former Advisory Panel member of Rogare, a prestigious international fundraising think tank.
