What changes when leaders begin with what is strong instead of what is wrong? 

In this episode, Don reflects on the ways a deficit mindset can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our teams, and the work we are called to grow. 

He is joined by Susan Bates, a board and civic leader, relationship-centered facilitator, and longtime community builder, for a conversation about listening, leadership, data, family, community, and the discipline of seeing what people are already bringing. 

Together, they explore how leaders can build from strength, trust what is emerging, and create the conditions for people and communities to grow.
