Meet Our Host, Heather Quinn

Executive Producer at Executive Leaders Radio Program

Heather Quinn is the co-Founder & Host of Real World Leaders and the Executive Producer of Executive Leaders Radio. Nobody in the country has developed more relationships with more CEOs and convinced them to spend time being interviewed on national radio than Heather Quinn and her team. Continuing in the tradition of helping the public appreciate executive leaders, Heather now helps underserved students and C-Suite executives (and their teams) establish deep, ongoing relationships. “It’s been so impactful building this bridge between these two worlds and helping our students identify their strengths and how to capitalize on them to find a career that they enjoy.

This years’ awardees have made a remarkable impact on
mental health and embody the spirit of hope and resilience.

The Bell of Hope Awards initiated 25 years ago, aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and demonstrate that recovery is attainable. These awards recognize individuals who contribute to this mission and actively foster positive change within our communities. This year, there are five categories for recognition:

  1. Media Impact: Acknowledging individuals affecting change and reducing stigma within media, entertainment, and social media. 

  2. Corporate Leadership: Recognizing those who lead organizations and serve as exemplary role models through implementing recovery models through their leadership.

  3. Innovator Peer: Celebrating a Certified Peer Specialist who engages in direct, one-on-one support and sparks personal change.

  4. Recovery Champion: An individual who is not a CPS and uplifts those in recovery through integrated community-based services and supports. 

  5. Healthcare Heroes: Honoring healthcare organizations that offer support and inclusion systems to enhance healthcare.

  6. Paving the Way Program: Highlighting innovative programs or ideas that revolutionize the delivery of support and inclusive programs, potentially involving collaboration among multiple contributors.

Additionally, we remind nominators that we consider all nominees, including those who work with or are veterans, individuals formerly incarcerated, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other marginalized communities. These individuals often face unique mental health challenges, and we acknowledge the intersectionality of complex mental health conditions.
