Description

In this episode of Meditations on Leadership, Don reflects on Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems model and what it means to lead from the grounded center of the Self. He’s joined by Bill Burke, founder of The Optimism Institute, former CEO of The Weather Channel, and host of the Blue Sky podcast, to explore how optimism, presence, and inner clarity shape authentic leadership. Together, they consider how the best leaders create safety within themselves - and, in doing so, invite others to do the same.
