This week’s Island Influencer is John Knight, the CEO of Hospice Isle of Man.
He shares his life, from his early days and university days to his time living on the island, his departure, and his eventual return to lead one of the most essential services on the Isle of Man.
John’s path has been anything but conventional. Moving six times before age sixteen, he developed a fearless approach to new environments and challenges.
We delve into John’s insights on leadership development, career progression, and the importance of organisational values in the non-profit sector. He outlines his vision for hospice services and discusses the financial aspects of running a hospice, emphasising the efficiency and impact of donations.
We also touch on the broader challenges facing charities today, including sustainable models, income diversification, and the need for collaboration. John’s insights into these areas are invaluable for anyone interested in the voluntary sector.
John’s professional achievements are impressive, but his personal stories, achievements and values make him an expert Island Influencer. His emphasis on relationships and experiences over material possessions and his joy in travel and outdoor activities add a personal touch to his professional narrative.
Here is John Knight in episode 115 of Island Influencers.
