  • 11 - #10 In times of the Cry / Laugh - A conversation with Christine Tao, Co-Founder and CEO of Sounding Board

    I first met Christine Taoabout two years ago when working with her as a guest on a panel that I was facilitating. I was immediately taken back by her thoughtfulness and incredibly insightful approach to thinking about people and business. I also remember thinking, wow, the world needs more CEO's like Christine. 

    She is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sounding Board an organization focused on developing managers to be best equipped for the human demands required of them, especially as we retool our organizations moving forward. 

    It is always a treat to spend time with her and I knew that she had to be part of this series. We had a great time talking about:

    2:30 - The cry/laugh - the best way to describe her sentiment in this time.

    5:25 - The value of sitting with the uncomfortable, especially during long lasting events like this.

    5:50 - What she has to share from the CEO perspective

  • 10 - #9 What's a Therapist have to say about all of this - Conversation with Dr. Emily Anhalt, Co-Founder of Coa (A gym for the mind)

    After meeting Emily at a conference following her amazing talk on Imposter Syndrome, I knew that this was somebody that I wanted to stay connected with. Since that time we have had a number of amazing conversations as well as worked together in organizing a panel on the destigmatization of mental health in the work place. One of the things that I admire most is her fearless approach to bringing mental wellbeing out of the shadows and bringing it to the forefront. 

    As much as I enjoy our conversations, I knew that I had to bring her on and share one of these with you. In this conversation, we discuss the mental health implications of the impact from COVID-19 and what we need to be thinking about in our organizations. 

    Here is an episode breakdown:

  • 9 - #8 In Conversation with Claude Silver and Katelin Holloway - Leading with Heart and Soul

    This is the audio from a live interview that I conducted with Claude Silver and Katelin Holloway. Hands down, these are two of the most insightful voices when it comes to leading businesses that foster healthy humans as a means towards long term success.

    Katelin is the former head of people at Reddit, currently a partner at Initialized Capital

    and 

    Claude is the Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia 

    This is by far my longest podcast and originally it was intended to be a LinkedIn Live session for one hour. However, this interview is simply too good to chop up and it had to be shared in its entirety. 

    I also optimized for speed on this one and currently do not have the interview notes prepared.

    I hope you enjoy and as always, would love to hear your thoughts.
