Description

I recently had the honor of sharing the stage with Chéla Gage, a Global HR Executive, speaking to HR leaders in Los Angeles about how to lead through chaos and make impactful decisions.

Spoiler alert: Brave leaders ask for advice, feedback, and insights—regardless of job titles (and egos).

In this podcast episode we discuss:

  • How to inspire your team to problem solve (vs. going to you like Google)
  • How to set boundaries and say no (cause it protects your team’s well-being -- and your own, too
  • How to have those awkward, BUT necessary convos with colleagues even when you know they will take it personally.

If you’re a leader navigating the chaos and want to make better decisions (and keep your sanity), this episode is for you.
