The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
The opening ceremony of the Special Olympics World Winter Games have just taken place in Turin, Italy on 8th March 2025. Today, we welcome leaders from Special Olympics and The Coca-Cola Company onto this episode of the Do One Better Podcast. Zehra Sayin is the Chief Marketing, Communications and Development Officer at the Special Olympics; and Tim Dignard is Senior Director, Global Sports Partnerships & Operations at The Coca-Cola Company. For over 55 years, Special Olympics and The Coca-Cola Company have been pioneering a movement that transcends philanthropy and sports sponsorship, redefining how corporate and nonprofit partnerships can drive systemic change. At the heart of their collaboration lies a shared vision: fostering inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities through the transformative power of sport. We hear how Special Olympics, now a global movement with millions of athletes, began as a simple gathering in 1968, and today stands as a testament to the power of sport in shifting societal attitudes. The Coca-Cola Company, a founding partner, has been instrumental in supporting this evolution — not just through financial contributions, but through a deeply integrated, strategic engagement that extends far beyond traditional corporate sponsorship. The partnership is a model of holistic collaboration, spanning corporate volunteering, global marketing, consumer engagement, and systemic advocacy for inclusion. While their alliance has long been impactful, both organizations recognize that their work is far from complete. Special Olympics continues to face challenges in expanding its global footprint, particularly in markets outside the United States where brand awareness remains low. The Coca-Cola Company has embraced this challenge, leveraging its vast global reach and marketing capabilities to amplify the movement's message in new territories. Their recent eight-year partnership extension — the longest in their history — underscores their commitment to taking inclusion to new heights. On the ground, the collaboration is about more than visibility; it's about breaking down barriers. From Turin, Italy, where the Special Olympics World Winter Games are currently underway, to future events in Chile and Switzerland, the movement is not just about competition — it is about driving long-term social impact. Whether through engaging The Coca-Cola Company's employees in volunteer programs, facilitating access to resources, or enlisting high-profile ambassadors to advocate for inclusion, the goal is clear: to create a world where people with intellectual disabilities are fully included, recognized, and celebrated. The essence of this partnership is perhaps best captured in the simple yet profound experiences of those involved. Volunteers who come to support the games often arrive thinking they are there to give, only to leave with a transformative realization — they have received far more than they contributed. The athletes, whose resilience and determination shine through every competition, are the true champions of this movement, proving time and again that inclusion is not charity, but a fundamental human right. Looking ahead, the partnership between Special Olympics and The Coca-Cola Company is set to become even more strategic, targeting key markets and leveraging new opportunities to foster change. Inclusion, as both organizations emphasize, is a journey — not a destination. With the scale, influence, and shared values of these two global giants, the potential to reshape societal attitudes and build a more inclusive world has never been greater.

Have I got big news for you on the first episode of 2025... The QuadCast has officially spawned another exciting and informative podcast! Yes, and on today's episode, I interview my co-contributors in this new venture, the "3 Men And A SCI" Pod. Below are very brief bios of both amazingly accomplished gentlemen. I look forward to working with them on this exciting venture, and hope you'll join us for the ride! Barry Munro is a quadriplegic who sustained a spinal cord injury in 1987, and has been an active advocate in SCI research for over 37 years. He is the chief Development Officer of the Canadian/American Spinal Research Organization, which was established in 1984 to fund targeted research to maximize functional recovery and cure paralysis caused by spinal cord injury. Barry also currently holds the position of Treasurer for the North American Spinal Cord Injury Consortium, a community led organization which has the mission to bring about unified achievements in research, care, cure, and policy by supporting collaborative efforts across the spinal cord injury community. At the age of 19, Alexander “Sasha” Rabchevsky was a strong safety on the Hampden-Sydney College, VA football team when a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. Sasha transformed that turn of events into a career searching for ways to repair spinal cord damage and improve the lives of those living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Since 2002, Sasha has been a faculty member of the Department of Physiology at the University of Kentucky and core member in the Spinal Cord & Brain Injury Research Center (SCoBIRC). Not only will you find out more about Barry and Sasha, but what we hope to accomplish with our platform.

CLOs today must ask: Is our work building lasting, relevant skills right now? Are we delivering business impact? Is the work building or diminishing L&Ds effectiveness and credibility? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then perhaps it is time for a skills accelerator approach. This is the title of a CLO Lift report and in this episode, we unpack what it means and why it's critical to us, in L&D, but more importantly to our organisations and employees. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D professionals need to become true business partners instead of just trainers and focus on the development aspect of their role. When you focus on data you are effective, and the rest of the business understands that data. Leverage AI and simulations to deliver fast. Understand the relevance of each skill. What is it about that skill or new technology that will enable the learner to do their job better? When your business does something new, be a part of the rollout so truly relevant learning is available from the start. BEST MOMENTS “Capability building can't just be through learning programs. It needs to be truly employee-centric.” “If we can spend less time churning content, we'll be able to spend more time developing people.” “The scope of an L&D leader can no longer be just what training program.” Heather Stefanski Heather Stefanski is a Partner and Chief Learning and Development Officer at McKinsey & Company, overseeing Learning & Development for 45,000+ global colleagues and leading the People Data and Analytics Teams. During 28 years at McKinsey, she has held various roles in talent acquisition, professional development, and learning. She has an MBA and MA in Education from Stanford University, and a BS in Engineering and Operations Research from Princeton University. Bjorn Billhardt Bjorn Billhardt is co-author of The 12-Week MBA and CEO of Abilitie which has trained 100,000 learners in 50 countries, including rising leaders at Fortune 500 companies like Coca-Cola and GE.

The doctor said, “You are going blind, and there is no cure.” My mom burst into tears, and I remember thinking, “This can't be happening to me.” -Eavan O'Neill When she was only 13 years old, Eavan O'Neill started having trouble seeing the blackboard at school. A gifted athlete, she began missing the ball while playing lacrosse and soccer. One of her coaches suggested that she have her eyes checked. Unfortunately, glasses didn't do much to solve the problem. Throughout her teens, Eavan's eyesight continued to deteriorate, and in this interview, she admits that wishful thinking set in until one day, she mistook the moon for a street light and it was obvious something was very wrong. Diagnosed at 20 by Rachel Huckfeldt, MD, PhD, an opthalmologist in the Inherited Retinal Disorders Service at Mass Eye And Ear, with a rare and incurable condition called Stargardt disease, Eavan is now legally blind. In this interview, she recalls returning to St. Lawrence University after her diagnosis in January 2020, only to go home two months later to her family in Yarmouth, Maine, due to the pandemic. Distraught and uncertain about her future, she accepted an invitation from her neighbor to go for a run and discovered that running flipped a switch inside of her. Says Eavan: “Running has made me feel strong, happy, and capable again.” An experienced marathoner who can only see 4 feet in front of her, Eavan runs to raise awareness and funds for a cure for Stargardt disease. Now a Development Officer at Mass General Brigham, Eavan is determined to be a voice for anyone struggling with this rare disease: “I felt so isolated when I was first diagnosed. It was like diving off of a cliff into no-man's land. It's hard to find hope. That's what I want to be for people. Hope.” Although she still has “bad blind girl days,” Eavan looks on the bright side with her Instagram handle @bright.side_group.
