THE POWER OF REINVENTION with Kathi Sharpe-Ross

EP 147: Do More Good - Reinventing the Way We Give with Neil Ghosh


Listen Later

In Episode 146 of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, I connect with global changemaker, nonprofit leader, and author Neil Ghosh to explore a kind of meaningful Reinvention that’s rooted in empathy, reflection and intentional impact.

Neil opens up about his personal journey—from childhood dreams of becoming a doctor to building a purpose-driven career across government, business and global philanthropy. His encounters with the Dalai Lama, President Clinton and others have influenced him along the way.  We explore the pivots, pauses, and personal revelations that shaped his path, and how choosing to do good—on any scale—requires both courage and consistency.

This conversation also explores the ideas behind Neil’s upcoming book, Do More Good, which gathers life lessons and stories from extraordinary individuals he’s encountered throughout his journey. His message is clear: making a difference doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can start small, and it can start now.

Together, we unpack what it means to lead with empathy, how to stay grounded in a noisy world, and why Reinvention often begins not with a plan, but with one intentional act.

Key Takeaways:

  • Reinvention starts with reflection. The most powerful changes often come from quiet personal insight.

  • Small, intentional acts can ripple outward. Doing good doesn’t require a platform—just presence.

  • Mentorship is a form of legacy. Giving your time and attention can change someone’s direction—and yours.

  • Empathy is a practice, not a trait. Especially in divided times, it becomes an anchor for impact.

  • Purpose and sustainability can coexist. Nonprofit work doesn’t mean sacrificing structure or strategy.
