If you want to be a better leader, partner, parent, or just a better human being, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Project Possible, I’m joined by the Queen of Kindness (OK, I might have dubbed her that...!), Nahla Summers.

Nahla is a speaker, author, adventurer, and someone whose life was completely reshaped by grief.

After the sudden death of her partner, Paul, everything changed.

What followed wasn’t just recovery. It became a mission in spreading the power of kindness, and how it can help us in both our personal and professional lives.

Since then, she's:

– Climbed Kilimanjaro

– Walked 500 miles across the UK

– Cycled 3,000 miles across America

– And even set a Guinness World Record spelling “kindness” across England

But this conversation isn’t really about the miles.

It’s about what kindness actually means - because it’s not the same as being nice.

We talk about:

– The difference between kindness and people-pleasing

– Why real kindness sometimes involves difficult conversations

– How emotional intelligence changes teams and leadership

– Why human connection matters more than money or status

– How to build empathy, even if you didn’t grow up seeing it

– And the voice in your head - the one that can either drag you down or pull you forward

We also talk honestly about grief. About resilience. About how you can grow bigger than the thing that breaks you.

Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.

While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'

Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.

Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.

I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life. I realised that I needed to run towards passion, purpose and positive impact, and my dream of this being my career.

Possibilists, pull up a pew.
