This week my daughter Nora joins me to share how her bold decision to move to the UK with no job ultimately helped her discover who she is and what she loves to do.

Recently the CEO of Shopify, Tobi Lutke, released his letter to the employees and I was blown away. I haven't seen this kind of open transparency from a leader in a very long time. In this episode I address some of the pieces in Tobi's letter that stood out to me and that I think every leader should think about. If you consider your team "a family", this one's for you.

This week I was struck by something I read from from Ray Dalio, where he spoke about implementing personality tests in his company and having been shocked by the results.

In this episode I discuss how to use personality tests and indexing effectively in your company. I also discuss fear in people and why it's so important to articulate your feelings and concerns in the workplace.
