Nicole Bolding, Executive Director at the Effingham Street Family YMCA recently completed her Multi-Team/Branch Leader certification from the YMCA of the USA. We caught up with her to ask her a little bit about her time at the Y.
 
How long have you worked for the YMCA of South Hampton Roads?
6 years

What is your favorite part of your job?
I love that no two days are ever the same. Each day brings a new set of challenges, interactions and a sense of accomplishment.

Which course was your favorite and why?
I really enjoyed "Leading and Coaching Others". I have been in leadership roles for 19 years and this course really helped me better understand coaching techniques specific to developing cause driven staff. There is something very special about the Y culture and this course deepened my understanding.

What did receiving your certification do for you personally?
With each course, I have become more knowledgeable and passionate about the various work we do as Y professionals. My commitment to the cause and our mission grows with each course and certification level.
 
Please join us in congratulating Nicole on this accomplishment!
