In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we revisit Nick Santonastasso’s powerful story from the World Governments Summit in Dubai. Born with Hanhart Syndrome, Santonastasso has redefined what’s possible through resilience, mindset, and relentless determination. His experience with the UAE’s “People of Determination” initiative reminds us that the words we choose as leaders are more than semantics—they shape culture, identity, and possibility. We’ll explore how language can either limit or lift, and why true leadership begins with dignity and humanity.
