Join Michael Powell in conversation with Deval Patrick as they discuss the state of U.S. leadership in democratic governance, civil rights, technological innovation, digital equity, and corporate accountability in the age of misinformation and distrust of institutions.

After graduating from HKS, I launched a national government agency in Jamaica, guided two US-based start-ups, and facilitated leadership team discussions that transformed the vision and strategy of organizations across numerous industries and geographies. In 2010, I started Catapult Change, an executive coaching and consulting business committed to supporting the success and wellbeing of under-represented executives and their teams.
