In a world where leadership advice often begins with “Find your WHY,” one Filipino leader is challenging that formula—with powerful results. Darwin Rivers, founder of the Philippines HR Group, shared in a recent episode of the Fearless Possibilities Leadership Podcast with Sha Nacino—a renowned Filipino motivational keynote speaker and advocate of compassionate leadership—that effective leadership doesn’t begin with purpose. It begins with identity. “Start with WHO,” Darwin said, flipping the usual Simon Sinek-inspired leadership narrative on its head.

WCP 009 : How to Accomplish Your Most Important Goals
