About the Show

A Weekly Purposeful Show Built for the Manager in the Middle

The Purposeful Leadership Show is designed for one specific person: the middle manager navigating pressure, disengaged teams, and the impossible gap between what senior leadership wants and what frontline reality looks like. Solo episodes run ~10 minutes. Guest conversations — with coaches, speakers, and practitioners from around the world — run 45 to 60 minutes. Every episode gets straight to what matters.

Real stories from real leaders

Every episode opens with a real situation — something listeners recognise from their own team or their own behaviour. No hypothetical scenarios.

Research-backed, not opinion-based

Every insight is rooted in Hogan personality science, organisational psychology, and 15 years of practical experience. Not motivational fluff.

Designed to fit your schedule

Solo episodes are ~10 minutes — perfect for a commute or between meetings. Guest conversations run 45 to 60 minutes of rich, unfiltered dialogue. All episodes are dense with value and never padded.

Solo and guest episodes

Divesh hosts solo episodes on specific leadership frameworks and also brings in global leadership voices — coaches, speakers, and practitioners from Australia, India, and beyond.

Divesh Soni — Host of the Purposeful Leadership Show

Host · Founder, PurposeGenie

Divesh is a Hogan-certified leadership coach, professional speaker, NLP practitioner, and the founder of PurposeGenie. After 15 years watching talented managers underperform — not because of what they didn't know, but because of who they became under pressure — he started this podcast to give middle managers the self-awareness tools that most organisations never provide.

Based in Delhi NCR, India. Working with leaders across 13 countries globally.
