  • Ep3: On social sustainability with Karen Daniels

    What does it look like when leadership is driven by purpose, not just position? In this episode, I speak with Karen Daniels—founder of Ethical Edge Advisory and co-founder of Blue Earth—about how inclusive leadership can drive real social change. 

    With decades of experience in global procurement, Karen shares powerful stories from her work across Africa and beyond, including how she helped transform the role of brand promoters in Nigeria. We talk about dignity, equity, and what it takes to embed social sustainability into business strategy. A must-listen for anyone leading—or aspiring to lead—with impact.

    What does it mean to lead with consciousness and inclusivity?

    • The Filipino concept of kapwa, or shared identity, and its role in leadership
