Nancy May . High Performance Governance

In this podcast, I talk with artists, actors, musicians, writers, coaches, and creative pioneers as they share personal, powerful, and often humorous stories of facing adversity and the wisdom they gleaned in the process.  I started this podcast back in 2020 as a way to connect with fellow creatives during a time of fear and uncertainty.  Five years later, I'm still sharing stories of creativity, resilience, reinvention, and hope. My guest today is a true renaissance woman who embodies all of these attributes as she wears many hats— and does so extremely well. Nancy May is the founder and President of The BoardBench Companies, LLC, a female-owned board governance consulting group focusing on the advanced development and execution of public, private and not-for-profit board organization, company board quality, board succession and director placement. She is a Member of the Board, Nature Coast Council for the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay and is listed in Who's Who of Global Business Leaders and has been a guest lecturer for business and professional organizations.   As the CEO and co-founder of CareManity, and creator and host of the award-winning podcast Eldercare Success, Nancy is a dedicated caregiver advocate, and author of How to Survive 911 Medical Emergencies: Step-by-Step Before, During, After!.   Her most recent publication is of the beautifully illustrated book My Family Tree, Food & Stories, which she co-authored with Sylvia Lovely. The book celebrates the deep connections between food, memory, and family. Nancy and Sylvia now co-host the companion podcast of the same name that was inspired by their best-selling book; which happens to be a 50 Over 50 Podcaster Award Winner.
