A conversation with Doug Nelson on The Discovery Pod
On mentorship in turbulent times.
I recently had the pleasure of joining Doug Nelson from The Discovery Group on The Discovery Pod for a thoughtful conversation about Quiet Champions and the role of mentoring in turbulent times.
We explored a question that feels especially urgent right now: what does it mean to guide others well when so much around us feels uncertain, noisy, and demanding? For me, mentorship has never been about having all the answers. It is about accompaniment, restraint, curiosity, and creating the kind of space in which others can grow into their own judgment and confidence.
Doug brought both warmth and depth to the conversation, and I appreciated the chance to reflect on the ideas behind Quiet Champions with someone who understands the human side of leadership so well. His team does great work supporting clients in the social impact sector.
If you are thinking about leadership, mentorship, or how we support people through complexity and change, I hope you’ll have a listen:
