Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series featuring Subtraction Activist Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey. In this powerful conversation, Nell shares how she helps high-performing women and mission-driven leaders build success that feels as good as it looks. Harvard-trained and educated by horses, she blends elite global Education with deep real-world leadership experience.

Early in her career, Nell worked in high-stakes nonprofit and humanitarian environments where the work mattered deeply and the consequences were real. Later, after pursuing elite education across multiple institutions, she noticed a troubling pattern — the hardest-working, most capable, and values-driven leaders were often the most depleted. That contradiction shaped her mission: helping women do more good without piling on more to-do’s.

We dive into leadership Burnout, sustainable success, subtraction as strategy, women in leadership, nonprofit leadership, humanitarian work, executive Coaching, high-performance culture, emotional intelligence, purpose-driven careers, and redefining ambition in today’s world.
