Jim Fielding: On Clarity, Courage, and Compassion in Leading

Season 2 Episode 10

Jim Fielding has spent more than three decades leading some of the world’s most iconic brands—Disney, DreamWorks, and 20th Century Fox. Today, he’s an author, speaker, coach, and host of the Jim Fielding & Friends podcast.

In this conversation with Dr. Foster Mobley, Jim reflects on his journey from corporate executive to solopreneur, sharing the wisdom he’s gained along the way. Together, they explore themes from Jim’s book, All Pride, No Ego: A Queer Executive’s Journey to Living and Leading Authentically, and discuss what leadership requires in these unpredictable times.

From “controlling the controllables” to leaving space for the possible, Jim offers a fresh perspective on the skills leaders need now: clarity, courage, compassion, and above all—humanity.

If you’re navigating change, balancing authenticity with resilience, or wondering what it takes to lead in today’s complex world, this episode is for you.
