In this episode, we sit down with Bill Pratt to explore what leading with empathy truly looks like in real life. Bill shares how decades of working in the nonprofit world shaped his mindset, his leadership style, and his belief that communities only grow when people choose to care for one another. He opens up about the importance of putting people first, the responsibility of serving others, and how empathy has guided every chapter of his career — from charity leadership to coaching to community advocacy.

We also dive into the power of belonging, discussing how small actions can create connection, how listening builds trust, and why compassion is one of the most practical tools a leader can have. Bill speaks honestly about the emotional weight of community work, the need for humility, and the difference it makes when leaders show up with kindness instead of ego. This conversation highlights the quiet strength behind service-driven leadership, and the impact we can make when we choose empathy over efficiency.

This episode is filled with insights on compassion, community, leadership, humility, and the everyday practice of putting others before yourself. Whether you’re a leader, a community member, or someone trying to build a more caring world, Bill’s story will inspire you to lead with heart and create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and understood.
