The guest: Dr. Yosi Amram, MIT-trained engineer, tech CEO turned psychologist, and spiritual intelligence researcher, joins us to explore how leaders can bring more meaning, purpose, and humanity into the workplace. With roots in science and lived experience, Yosi unpacks how qualities like humility, presence, and compassion can drive better business outcomes and more fulfilling lives. Key takeaways Spiritual intelligence is about embodying timeless human values—like compassion, integrity, and joy—in everyday life and leadership. Research shows that spiritually intelligent leaders create more inspired teams, stronger financial results, and better well-being. Purpose, gratitude, and presence aren’t just feel-good traits—they’re measurable predictors of resilient, anti-fragile leadership. You don’t need to be religious or spiritual to build spiritual intelligence—it’s about how you show up, not what you believe. Inspiration is a form of energy. Leaders breathe life into teams by being connected to their own inner meaning.
