How can we recognize potential and unlock it?
Misty Copeland was the first Black woman to be promoted to principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre. But as a child she almost quit after her first class – until an early teacher convinced her to return. Misty talks to Meet The Leader about the ways dance changed how she navigated life and how it taught her key skills such as resilience, empathy and curiosity.
She shares how she uses her perspective and experience to found the Misty Copeland Foundation and develop a free afterschool program that reinvents how dance is taught to bridge diversity gaps while also teaching key leadership skills. She shares why these skills and approaches are vital to driving future change and what any leader can learn about elevating others.
This interview was recorded in January 2025 at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

Published: 31st Mar 2025 04:27:55 By: World Economic ForumWorld Economic Forum Video: Norway Leads EV Transition & Turning Textile Waste Into New Fabrics | WEF | Top Stories Week
This week's top stories of the week include:
0:15 Beavers return to England’s wild – Wild beavers were hunted to extinction in England 400 years ago. But 2 beavers were spotted at Little Sea in January 2024. That paved the way for this licensed release by the National Trust, which called it ‘a watershed moment in the history of the species’. Beavers are regarded as ‘ecosystem engineers’ as they build habitats, they can restore native woodland and create new wetlands.
2:13 Indigenous Peoples are reshaping trade – In 2021, four Asia-Pacific economies initiated a deal to promote trade between different Indigenous communities, help them to trade internationally and support them in protecting their cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. It’s called the Indigenous Peoples Economic and Trade Cooperation Arrangement (IPETCA).
5:52 Norway leads the charge in EV transition – EVs made up 95% of all new cars sold in Norway in February 2025. The overall figure for 2024 was 89%, up from 82% in 2023. Norway wants 100% of new cars to be electric by the end of 2025. These latest figures suggest the country could hit its target. So how has Norway done this?
7:26 Turning textile waste into new fabrics – At present, used clothing is typically resold and reworn, not recycled. There is no large-scale process for breaking down material fibres so they can be made into new garments. Evrnu is working on a solution. It collects fabrics with a high cotton content. It sorts and shreds them, then liquefies them into pulp which can be shaped into fibres and woven or knitted into new fabrics.
