047 – Gossip, Forgiveness and Growth with Dr. Shawne Duperon
From London, to Athens, to Munich, to across North America, Dr. Shawne Duperon, a six-time EMMY® Award winner and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, is a good gossip researcher. She travels the globe, educating corporations, entrepreneurs, universities and government agencies on what inspires people to share good things and how to powerfully lead with compassion.
Her case study is Project: Forgive, a non-profit leadership foundation that reaches millions in social media.
You have seen her featured in major media including, CNN, ABC, “Inc. Magazine,” and “USA Today” to name a few.
This PhD in gossip (yes, gossip!) used gossip theory to make Project: Forgive’s five-minute video go viral, even capturing an endorsement from Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
