The Human Side of Leadership
The Human Side of Leadership, hosted by Dr. Pelè, explores what it truly means to lead in today’s complex and rapidly changing world.
Through conversations with executives, authors, clinicians, and thought leaders, the podcast examines how leadership is experienced by teams, customers, patients, and organizations in real time. Each episode reveals the human behaviors that build trust, strengthen culture, improve performance, and turn leadership insight into measurable results.
In an age increasingly shaped by technology and AI, this podcast brings the focus back to what matters most: how leaders show up, connect with others, and create confidence in the moments that matter.

159. "YES YOU CAN!" Regardless Of Your Circumstance, With Amanda Gene Nelson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I must apologize in advance for the tears that you will see in this episode. I have never felt so inspired and overwhelmed with emotion on camera, but after careful consideration, I decided NOT to edit those emotions out.
You see, in this episode, I met someone I now call, 'The Chief Butterfly' of the YouTube network, and. you'll see why. I met someone who inspired me, perhaps more than I have ever been inspired in my life. I met someone who taught me the true meaning of Profitable Happiness.
In this episode, we meet Amanda Gene Nelson, who's LinkedIn description simply describes her as "Going Places" at the Hadley Institute for the Blind and Visually Impaired. I think you'll agree.
My Favorite Quotes from Amanda Nelson in this episode, (paraphrased):
“Life with Nystagmus!”
“You are NOT a victim!”
“Find your passion!”
