Summary
This week, something a little different!
For our conversation, we are joined by South African Environmental and Human Rights Activist, Kumi Naidoo. Kumi is best know for his time running GreenPeace International and Amnesty International, two massive organizations that get at the heart of enacting justice in all it's forms around the world. We talk about what kind of leadership is needed in our search for environmental and racial justice.
And our main guest this week is Lindsay Levin, CEO of Leaders' Quest. Lindsay has dedicated her life and her work to reshaping what leadership looks like through vulnerability, listening, and doing the work of searching ourselves to find our collective humanity.
