Donna Hyland, Chief Executive Office at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, tell us about her biggest challenges, her love for Atlanta, and the advice she has for the next generation. Read on:
“It’s pretty simple: You can do everything in life. Just not all at the same time.”
“I was so focused on my career.”, “I wish I had spent more time with my children.”
“No one had ever faced anything like it before,” she says. What carried them through was leaning on her team and trusting the experts around her. “The very best in people came out during that time.”
“The most amazing thing about Atlanta is how people just lift each other up. If you are a leader, you are expected to pay your civic rent — to be involved, to do good for the community. And that permeates our entire culture here.”
