Radical Humility: Be a Badass Leader and a Good Human
In a world of relentless change, fierce competition, rapid tech advances, and a new, diverse generation reshaping the workplace, leadership must evolve. EnterRadical Humility—a bold, human-centered approach that sees humility not as weakness, but as a superpower for leading in complexity.
In this story-rich presentation, Urs brings his deeply researched and field-tested Radical Humility framework to life for the Rotary Club of Seattle. Drawing on his experience as a UN peacekeeper, business executive, veteran coach, ultra-endurance athlete, and globally published professor, Urs equips leaders with the tools to thrive—and lead boldly while staying deeply human.
We changed things up this year, visiting The Swedish Club for our annual Presidents Party! It is the “President's Party” with an apostrophe no longer as for the first time in memory we honored both outgoing presidents of the Rotary Club of Seattle and Seattle Rotary Service Foundation. I'd like to thank once again Jon Bridge and Vicky Oxley for their leadership in these roles this year.
If you are a Rotarian looking to get involved in a leadership position at the club, please let me know! We have some particular needs coming down the pipeline (such as looking for someone to train in the role of Treasurer on the club side), so please email me if you want to be considered for positions in the future.
And again, thanks to everyone who made this Rotary year extra special.

SRSF Update
A new fiscal year is here, and it’s the perfect time to recommit to what defines us as Seattle 4 Rotarians: our shared dedication to service above self. Through the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF), our generosity becomes action. Every donation powers the service projects we care about, locally and globally, and allows us to live out our values in real, tangible ways.
Over the past decade, SRSF has invested more than $4.8 million in projects led by our service committees and trusted partners. From empowering students at the Rotary Boys & Girls Club to bringing clean water to communities in Africa, these achievements are made possible by us - our commitment and our contributions.
Our annual giving campaign is how we sustain this momentum and will be kicking off October 1 (but why wait - donate today!). Each member is asked to contribute $400 annually; this isn’t just a suggested donation - it’s a shared investment in the causes we believe in.
As we enter this new year, let’s lead with generosity and purpose - and make our biggest impact yet. Your support will ensure Seattle 4 remains a powerful force for good, both locally and globally. Let’s start strong, give boldly, and show what’s possible when every member steps up!
Thank you again for your very generous donations to the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation!
