  • Starting the New Year with “Yes, And…”
    2025/01/09
    Hello Community and Happy New Year! As you make plans to thrive in 2025, I wanted to introduce a concept you might find innovative: Improv! In improv, the phrase “yes, and…” keeps the energy moving forward. It’s a way of acknowledging what’s happening while building on it to create something new. So instead of responding to the year’s anticipated challenges with “no, but…” let’s embrace a “yes, and…” mindset. Yes, DEI is under fire—and we can use this as an opportunity to reframe how we cultivate inclusion and belonging within our workplaces. When we shift the conversation from compliance to culture, we position ourselves to do more than survive this moment—we can thrive in it by reimagining what inclusion looks like beyond politics. My guest this month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, Mr. Avish Parashar, is going to show us how to leverage the power of improv.

    2025/01/02
    Happy New Year! As we kick off 2025, the air is thick with uncertainty, and for many, apprehension. But before we let this reality hijack our hope for the future, I invite you to join me in reimagining the path forward by approaching this moment with clarity, creativity, and resilience. In improv, the phrase “yes, and…” keeps the energy moving forward. It’s a way of acknowledging what’s happening while building on it to create something new. So instead of responding to the new year’s challenges with “no, but…” let’s embrace a “yes, and…” mindset.

  • The Gift of Diverse Partnerships
    2024/12/05
    In the corporate world, we often hear about the benefits of diverse teams, and the data shows that organizations with diverse workforces are often more innovative, resilient, and responsive. But true partnership goes beyond just diversity in race, gender, or background—it’s about appreciating the rich perspectives that each person brings. The gift of diverse partnerships is also about recognizing and valuing how people think differently. Cognitive diversity in teams allows us to see challenges from various angles—logical, creative, strategic, and operational—all of which add up to robust solutions that a single perspective alone could never achieve.

  • Happy Thanksgiving!
    2024/11/21
    Hello Community! As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving next week, I am joined again by my guests Jason Eisner and Neil Pretty, co-founders of Aristotle Performance. Today, we’ll reflect on what we can be thankful for in terms of what we know about psych safety, especially as it plays into navigating potentially tense election conversations at the dinner table—turning them into moments of understanding rather than conflict. Next week, Real Conversations from the C-Suite (where the “C” stands for cooking) will be happening around my dinner table, so I’ll see you next month. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
