Description

In this episode, we explore the concept of belonging in business with Phil Terry, the Founder and CEO of Collaborative Gain, and author of 'Never Search Alone' and ‘Customers Included.’ Phil shares their extensive experience of fostering peer councils professionally and how that work has extended into a number of pro-bono projects. From Phil’s beginnings inspired by their mother's first council initiative to work with senior leaders and job seekers, Phil discusses the power of asking for help, creating structured support systems, and building long-term, meaningful connections. Phil also touches on their work with Slow Art Day, the World of Business Reading Group, and future projects including 'Never Lead Alone' and a potential memoir. Join us for an insightful conversation on the importance of vulnerability, trust, and community in navigating careers and personal growth.
