Leadership, Simply Smarter Episode 2: The Curve of Change with Donna Hughes

In this episode of Leadership: Simply Smarter, Clark Hill employment attorney Vanessa Kelly sits down with Donna M. Hughes, JD, PCC — Founder and CEO of Hughes Solutions, LLC, and former Chief People Officer of EmblemHealth, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health insurers.

Donna’s career is anything but a straight line: From law firm attorney to in-house counsel, through the fast-paced world of pharmaceutical mergers and acquisitions, to the C-suite of a major healthcare organization, she now coaches the very executives she once stood alongside.

Navigating the demands of a global executive role, Donna discusses the “curve of change” framework for leading teams through transformation, why reaching the C-suite does not mean the work on yourself is done, and what the leaders who most need coaching are least likely to say out loud.
