    Donzel Leggett: Designing Success When the Odds Are Not In Your Favor
    Jan 27 2026
    What if creating championship-level performance has far less to do with the team you inherit and everything to do with your own mindset and how you lead, design systems, and set standards from day one? That question came up again and again in my conversation with Donzel Leggett, a leadership strategist, executive coach, and the award-winning author of Make Your Destiny Happen. We dive into what leaders can learn from one of the most talked-about leadership turnarounds in sports this season: Curt Cignetti and the remarkable transformation of Indiana Hoosiers football. We unpack why turnaround success isn’t about inheriting the “right” team, it’s about setting expectations, creating belief, and installing systems that allow people to perform at their best. With more than three decades of leadership experience at Fortune 200 companies, Donzel helps leaders and organizations build clarity, capacity, and intentional leadership. He’s also a former Academic All-America football player, which makes his perspective on leadership, discipline, and performance especially powerful.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…What leaders need now to stay grounded, adaptable, and effective amid rapid change and disruption.How to translate big ideas into repeatable behaviors that actually create change over time.Helping individuals take control of their lives and make their destiny happen through life planning and consistent action. "In most cases, the majority of people have the talent and have the capability. They just need to believe, and they need some tools and some processes to go along with that to allow them to win." — Donzel LeggettAbout Donzel Leggett, Founder, Destiny Development Delta, LLC, and Author, Make Your Destiny Happen:With more than three decades of leadership experience at Fortune 200 companies, Donzel is the Principal of Destiny Development Delta, LLC, where he focuses on executive leadership development.

  • Sam Daley-Harris: Reclaiming Our Democracy

    Sam Daley-Harris: Reclaiming Our Democracy
    Jan 20 2026
    What if everything you believe about advocacy is incomplete? What if the real work of changing the world isn’t just about fixing problems, but about transforming ourselves in the process?That’s the heart of the work of Sam Daley-Harris, Founder and Principal of Civic Courage, and author of Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen’s Guide to Transformational Advocacy.This conversation reframes what it means to participate in democracy. It’s not just about agonizing or protesting or turning off the news. It’s about awakening to our own power and using empathy to bridge divides and build the kind of future we actually want. It’s about sharing personal stories, engaging in deep listening and conversation, and making bold asks of leaders and volunteers.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Why sharing your “story of self” matters and how knowing your why becomes your anchor in meaningful leadership and advocacy.What transformational advocacy truly is, and why it has the power to change both the issues and the advocates themselves.The essential role of empathy in advocacy and the three questions volunteers ask when meeting with an opposing elected official that can turn conflict into connection.Why leaders and organizations must move past their fear of asking volunteers to do big, bold things, because that’s where transformation happens. "Transformational advocacy is where you're trained, encouraged, and succeed at doing things as an advocate that you never thought you could do. When you do those kinds of things, you see yourself differently." — Sam Daley-Harris Episode References: Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness by Jamil ZakiCitizens Climate LobbyEaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet by Bill McKibbenAbout Sam Daley-Harris, Founder, Civic Courage, and Author, Reclaiming Our Democracy: Sam Daley-Harris started as a symphony musician and then founded the anti-poverty lobby RESULTS in 1980, co-founded the Microcredit Summit Campaign in 1995, and founded Civic Courage in 2012. The paperback edition of his book Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen’s Guide to Transformational Advocacy was named an editor’s pick by Publishers’ Weekly BookLife.

  • Ed Kirwan: The Most Effective Way to Build Empathy

    Ed Kirwan: The Most Effective Way to Build Empathy
    Jan 13 2026
    What if empathy wasn’t something we talked about, but something we actually trained, practiced, and scaled?My guest today, Ed Kirwan, is doing exactly that. Ed is the CEO and Founder of Empathy Studios, a creative education organization using the power of film to develop empathy as a real, learnable skill. He’s also the founder of Empathy Week, now the world’s largest empathy festival for schools, reaching more than 1.8 million students across 56 countries since 2020. In this conversation, we explore why film is such a powerful catalyst for empathy, what Ed has learned from years of working with students around the world, why empathy is becoming a critical skill in the age of AI, and how developing empathy can boost well-being and help create a better world.This is a hopeful, practical, and deeply human conversation about what empathy looks like when we stop treating it like a soft skill and start treating it like a core capability.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…The emotional power of film to supercharge feeling and connection.Why empathy and related skills are necessary to reap the benefits of AI.How humans are adapting, seeking things that are real and authentic, and why making something look worse may actually be better. "That's the power of film. It can really supercharge emotions; it can supercharge feeling; it can supercharge connection." — Ed KirwanEpisode References: Ed Kirwan: Empathy Week: Using the Power of Film to Build EmpathyAbout Ed Kirwan, CEO and Founder, Empathy StudiosPreviously a science teacher in London, Ed founded Empathy Studios, an education and creative organisation using the power of film to develop the skill of empathy in all.
