Good CONVERSATIONS

Leadership through story.

This is probably one of the deeper conversations I've ever had (shout out Planet of One podcast!). In it, you'll hear me rant about a lot of things re: culture, communication and leadership. I also talk about where I come from, how I came to be where I am, and where I hope we all will go together.

If you don't have the patience for all that, here are some highlights below.

The juicy bits

[21:44] How communication dictates culture either on purpose or by accident (you don't want to do it by accident)

[23:34] How to communicate bad news in a way that strengthens your culture 

[30:33] Why the top-down leadership model works against effective communication and culture 

[37:49] Why middle-management is the most difficult job in the world right now 

[40:23] What it really means for a leader, a CEO, to listen to their employees (and why we have resiliency wrong) 

[44:00] Shout-out to The New Happy & author Stephanie Harrison. Follow The New Happy, pick up the book, and watch how your world will change for the better, especially at work.

[47:23] Shout-out to Coldwater Communications & Theodora Jean, MComm as one of the most extraordinary leaders and people I've ever had the pleasure to work with.
