Episode 6: Bob Dunham

What is a human being? What does it mean to integrate the desire to live a meaningful life with the pragmatics of action? In this interview, Bob Dunham reveals a cultural challenge: the flood of "how to" and "5 secrets to success" content that promises to change our lives but does not, and cannot, produce the big shifts we seek. Bob says that breakthrough can only come when we shift the context. To do this, we must ask questions that go beyond the "how." By asking the "what" questions, we reveal blind spots and see we have the "incredible power to design a life." In this conversation, Bob speaks about his research on the fundamental skills of leadership, leadership as an art, and how leadership and learning are embodied. He ends by speaking about our ability to engage, moment by moment, with the fundamental question: What do I want to contribute to the world?
