What does it take to lead with purpose—without losing your sense of self?
This week’s guest is Tenzin Seldon—a global climate advocate, human rights leader, and spiritual force. Born to Tibetan refugee parents and educated at Stanford and Oxford, Tenzin’s journey is a remarkable blend of activism and grounded wisdom.
Tenzin made history as one of the first Tibetan-Americans to break through elite academic and policy institutions. But her leadership isn’t about accolades — it’s about staying rooted in values while navigating complex systems.
In this conversation, we explore:
- 🧘♀️ The quiet power of faith and ritual in turbulent times
- ⚖️ How to navigate complex systems while staying true to your values
- 🌱 Why indigenous communities are key to protecting 80% of global biodiversity
- 🔥 Why the climate conversation needs less doom and more action
This conversation was recorded last fall—and in many ways, it feels even more timely today, as the world continues to grapple with uncertainty, purpose, and questions about collective responsibility. As you listen, notice how Tenzin stays rooted in compassion while navigating complex global issues—and hopefully you will reflect on how you respond when the demands of the world challenge your values and sense of calm.
There’s a ton to take away from this one—so, with that, let’s jump right into this week’s conversation with Tenzin Seldon.
