   S2E10 | Christopher O.H. Williams | Reflections on purpose, meaning, and courage

   In this episode of Rethinking Leadership, Roemer Visser speaks with Christopher O.H. Williams, former Fortune 500 executive, advisor, speaker, and author of C.O.U.R.A.G.E.: Seven Choices for Living a Life Without Regret. Williams held senior roles at Nike, Adidas, and VF Corporation, after earlier working at Gap, Goldman Sachs, and Lehman Brothers. By most conventional standards, he had built an exceptionally successful career. And yet, in 2018, he stepped away from the corporate world. That decision becomes the starting point for a thoughtful and personal conversation between Roemer and Christopher about success, freedom, purpose, and courage.
