In this episode of The Giving Nook, I’m joined by Dr. Leigh Anne Taylor Knight, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of The DeBruce Foundation—a national philanthropic organization committed to expanding pathways to economic growth and career success. Dr. Taylor Knight shares how The DeBruce Foundation is helping individuals better understand their strengths, identify opportunities, and navigate career decisions with confidence. We explore how data, innovation, and collaboration are reshaping workforce development, and what it takes to truly create systems-level change in a way that centers people first. We also talk about what it means to lead with purpose, scale impact, and stay grounded in values while pursuing big, transformational goals. Whether you're a nonprofit professional, educator, funder, or simply someone passionate about building a more inclusive and opportunity-filled future, this conversation offers both practical insights and meaningful inspiration.
