Leading with Purpose: Profit, People, and the Planet (with Fabio Barbosa)

In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Fabio Barbosa, one of Brazil’s most respected business leaders and a true pioneer in purpose-driven leadership.  From transforming Banco Real into a sustainability leader to his work at Natura &Co—one of the world’s largest B Corps—Fabio has consistently shown that it’s not only possible but essential to align profit with positive impact.  We talked about his deep-rooted belief that business must serve society, his vision for regeneration in the Amazon, and the power of diversity in improving decision-making.  🎧 In this conversation, we cover: The early experiences that shaped Fabio’s leadership values How he brought social and environmental priorities into the heart of banking Natura’s bold commitment to forest preservation and community empowerment in the Amazon What it means to be a B Corp at scale—and how it changes the way you lead Why diversity drives better business decisions And his message for the next generation of positive leaders  I left this conversation full of energy and inspiration—and I’m sure you will too.  If you enjoyed this episode, I invite you to listen to: Laurence Tubiana, on building global climate alliances and leading with purpose: https://thepositiveleadershippodcast.buzzsprout.com/1798971/episodes/16090358-fr-le-courage-du-changement-avec-laurence-tubiana  Daniel Goleman, on the power of emotional intelligence in leadership: https://thepositiveleadershippodcast.buzzsprout.com/1798971/episodes/14940410-optimizing-your-performance-with-emotional-intelligence-with-daniel-goleman  Jeff Raikes, on long-term thinking and transforming systems for good: https://thepositiveleadershippodcast.buzzsprout.com/1798971/episodes/16177556-special-100th-episode-a-journey-of-leadership-and-giving-back-with-jeff-raikes   Subscribe now to JP"s free monthly newsletter "Positive Leadership and You" on LinkedIn to transform your positive impact today: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/positive-leadership-you-6970390170017669121/
