What was one of your biggest challenges as a leader and how did you overcome it? Leading the company remotely throughout a large part of the pandemic was a great challenge: I believe that I managed Covid reasonably well by being clear that I understood that our people were struggling, this was normal, and that it was okay to ask me and their colleagues for help. I consistently reiterated this message and encouraged our people to support each other not only professionally, but also personally. We came together as a company each week on Zoom calls and on a daily basis at the department level. The consistent reiteration of this narrative along with being transparent and vulnerable myself, allowed us to not only become closer as a group, but also provide the best level of service to our clients. 

What makes this nominee an Industry Leader? “Goody is a thoughtful, passionate and impactful leader who has a keen understanding of the day-to-day challenges of the business, while not losing sight of working towards bigger picture improvements for the company, its people and culture.
