Dr. Geetha Murali is the Chief Executive Officer of Room to Read, a leading international organization that is creating a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality.

“I came from a family where I could have very easily been a child bride. And I wanted to do something that made that not even a possibility for the next generation.”  — Geetha Murali

Dr. Geetha Murali is the Chief Executive Officer of Room to Read, a leading international organization that transforms the lives of millions of children through education, creating a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality.

Geetha joined Room to Read in 2009 and has more than 25 years of diverse experience across the corporate and non-profit sectors. She has worked with pharmaceutical companies and an array of educational technology programs like the Digital Equalizer Program (American India Foundation) and Adobe Youth Voices (Adobe Systems Incorporated).

Geetha's commitment to literacy and gender equality has been recognized by former first lady of the United States Michelle Obama as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. She has been featured in international media outlets such as BBC, Bloomberg, ABC, CNBC, and Times of India and has been recognized by WIRED as a leader who will shape the next 25 years.

Welcome to To Lead Is Human. This show helps listeners envision how they can uplevel their leadership and shape cultures of accountability, respect, and candor.

Miranda Lievers is the Co-Founder and former COO of Thinkific. She was named one of the top 10 operations execs in the country in 2022.

“Businesses have never been mechanical machines. Businesses are human machines. And business school has only just recently acknowledged that these are human machines, and human machines are unpredictable and emotional.”  — Miranda Lievers

Miranda Lievers, Co-Founder & former COO of Thinkific, has helped more than 50,000 entrepreneurs and small businesses grow while educating more than 100 million students around the globe.

In 2021, she and her team took Thinkific public with a market cap over $1 billion, at the same time earning multiple awards including Great Place to Work and Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures.

Miranda was named one of the top 10 operations execs in the country in 2022 (but hates the word "executive," so don't hold it against her).

She's an audacious goal-setter, serial small business owner, mentor for women in business, occasional indie film producer, and mom to two. Having recently stepped away from public company leadership for the second time in her life, she's deep in exploring what comes next.

Welcome to To Lead Is Human. This show helps listeners envision how they can uplevel their leadership and shape cultures of accountability, respect, and candor.

Tim Lupinacci is the CEO and Chair of Baker Donelson, one of the 100 largest law firms in the United States. He is also the founder of Everybody Leads, an organization that fosters leadership among underserved communities.

“The flip side of the coin of getting all the feedback... at some point, I have to make the decision and act and execute, because you can get into this funnel of just getting feedback and feedback and feedback.”  — Tim Lupinacci

Tim Lupinacci spent the first 28 years of his legal practice focused on helping financial institutions solve complex problems arising in commercial restructuring and bankruptcy matters throughout the country. The past 18 years have been with Baker Donelson, one of the 100 largest law firms in the country.

During his leadership journey at Baker Donelson, Tim chaired the Financial Services Department, the Women’s Pathways to Leadership Committee, and served as a member of the Firm’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee. He was awarded with the firm’s highest award for both advancement and support of women and advancement and support of minorities.

Four years ago, he was selected as CEO and Chair of the firm, which he has led through significant organizational change, growth, and the global pandemic. He continues leading Baker Donelson through its five-year BakerVision 2028 strategy and the execution of its Diversity & Inclusion Compact.

As a self-professed “leadership junkie”, Tim’s journey to stepping up as a leader began thirty years ago as a young lawyer after disappointing a boss with an epic failure. The boss challenged Tim (after significant yelling and tough love!) by saying he saw Tim as a strong young leader who needed to recognize that he was a leader, and step up to own his work, his career, and his ambitions.

In the three decades since, Tim has studied, read, and grown his leadership skills through hard work, being curious, trying novel ideas, failing, learning from the failures, and getting better every day. This culminated in launching a non-profit called Everybody Leads focused on empowering individuals in underserved communities with basic leadership skills and confidence to better lead themselves, lead others, and lead in the community.

For more than 30 years, Sharon Richmond has partnered with C-level executives from mid-size and small, fast-growing companies who want to up-level their leadership and build companies they are proud of. Clients accelerate their leadership by embracing mindset and behavior changes, building self-awareness and self-management skills, and focusing on the three things all leaders must ensure: focus, energy, and delivery.

Welcome to To Lead Is Human. This show helps listeners envision how they can uplevel their leadership and shape cultures of accountability, respect, and candor.

Dart Lindsley leads Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google. He has a personal mission to humanize work.

“And so one of my deepest values is to respect the deep dimensionality of every human in that you have to take every human as a unique instance of an entire world.”  – Dart Lindsley

Dart Lindsley leads Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google. Before joining Google, Dart led the Human Resources Transformation Planning and Analysis organization for Cisco Systems.

Dart founded the Business architecture and Employee Experience Design teams at Cisco. By focusing these two very different disciplines on questions of talent, Dart and his team came to an important insight:  employees are not just inputs to production as they are usually framed, they are customers and work is a product companies sell to them.

Ever since, Dart has been using tools from marketing and product design to delve into what people really want from work (spoiler alert - it's not what you think), and ways in which companies can build and deliver an extraordinary work-experience product.

For more than 30 years, Sharon Richmond has partnered with C-level executives from mid-size and small, fast-growing companies who want to up-level their leadership and build companies they are proud of. Clients accelerate their leadership by embracing mindset and behavior changes, building self-awareness and self-management skills, and focusing on the three things all leaders must ensure: focus, energy, and delivery.

Sharon’s purpose as an executive coach is to help leaders 10X their impact by leveraging the power afforded by their roles to build organizations that are forces for good, both economically and socially. She also advises CEOs on shaping organization culture and leading change.

Sharon has taught leadership at Stanford GSB, where she now helps leaders increase influence, manage conflict, and prepare to build high-performing teams.

Mitch Joel is a thought leader, author, keynote speaker, podcaster, and the founder of ThinkersOne.

“Having complementary skill sets doesn't put you in that place where you're really conflicting with one another so much as you have your own built-in mastermind group.”  – Mitch Joel
