The Healing Power of Organ Donation with Elisse Glennon

Elisse Glennon is the Executive Director of the
New Jersey Sharing Network Foundation. The NJ Sharing Network is
a non-profit organization for the recovery and placement of
donated organs and tissues. 


The foundation, where Elisse presides, is dedicated to increasing
the numbers of lives saved through research, family support,
public awareness, and education.


4000 New Jersey residents alone are waiting on the transplant
list. So when COVID threatened the entire national healthcare
system, Elisse and her team of 180 committed professionals plus
volunteers had to navigate incredibly shaky seas.


The big question was, would donations plummet, devastating the
chances of everyone on that list, desperately in need of a
transplant?


Not on Elisse’s watch. Instead, the NJ Sharing Network had a
record year. And in this conversation, Elisse teaches us
precisely how they did it.


Now, you might be tired of hearing about “mindset shifts” from
the self-help community. But Elisse and her team are proof that
it’s often mindset, not tactics, that carry the day.


In particular, pay close attention to how she describes the
process of asking grieving families for a donation, and the shift
from viewing it as a burden to recognizing it as a gift.
