In this episode, I chat with Allison Pollard, Technical Director at Improving. We talk about authenticity, being real, the effect of the pandemic on our realness, and psychological safety. She shares stories about working with teams and individuals who are striving to be more transparent, but running into obstacles along the way.. The importance and silent peril of giving feedback, especially to our bosses. The action of taking frustration and turning it into hope. Unfiltered Hell.  So much goodness in one episode.  

Allison Smash! :-)
