Wild Hearts at Work

In this episode,  I speak with Joseph Pelrine about the focus on (and the danger of misunderstanding)  Psychological Safety in the workplace. He speaks to what teams really need in order to open up innovation and risk-taking in teams and help them to high performance.

Word/Phrase of the Week: Bias Disruption

Palantir.net is a digital consultancy led by CEO Tiffany Farriss. (not to be confused with another company of a similar name) I was excited to speak with Tiffany because she has set out to lead her company in a very wild-hearted way, right down to how people are compensated and how promotions are handled in her no-manager org structure. Listen in as we talk about the different assumptions and biases that Palantir.net tackles head on through their implicit and explicit policies about work.

Word/Phrase of the Week: Imposter Syndrome

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with leadership coach Asia about overcoming imposter syndrome and sitting deeply in your values to become the strongest - and most YOU- leader you can be. We talk about accepting constructive "feedback" vs. being firm in your personal boundaries when criticism is not well-communicated. Most importantly, we talk about being driven by personal purpose that helps you withstand any external storm.

Word/Phrase of the Week: Agency

In this episode, I speak with Microsoft CTO Advisor Williams Adams on the topic of Agency. A long time Microsoft employee, William has made long-standing impact within the large company by engaging his own sense of agency. He talks with me about how he challenged the status quo, created new programs (specifically LEAP, Microsoft's apprenticeship program), and made global impact through a series of decisions and just saying, "why not?".
