Donzel Leggett joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss executive leadership, large-scale organizational change, and why personal agency matters in fast-shifting environments. Donzel explains why having a plan remains useful even when conditions change, and how leaders can adjust course without losing long-term direction. He discusses building agency by stacking skills, treating work as a “career portfolio,” and staying adaptable as AI reshapes roles and expectations. He also reflects on the shift from improving systems to focusing on helping people change their lives, which informed his coaching work and the proprietary leadership models used in his consultancy. The conversation includes what led to his book, Make Your Destiny Happen, and why legacy and purpose can outlast a job title.
