Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Psychology of Women and Leadership with Dr. Sherylle Tan
Q: What practical steps can organizations take to promote equity in leadership?
Organizations can reduce bias in hiring through blind candidate evaluation, diversify hiring committees, distinguish mentorship from sponsorship, and build personal boards of directors that include sponsors who advocate for women, while also addressing broader cultural narratives about what leadership should look like.
The Psychology of Women and Leadership with Dr. Sherylle Tan
Q: What are common misconceptions about women in leadership?
Many misunderstandings persist, including the belief that leadership should be reserved for men or that women inherently lack leadership traits; in reality, leadership ability is widespread, context-dependent, and influenced by biases and societal norms that can suppress women's advancement.
The Psychology of Women and Leadership with Dr. Sherylle Tan
Q: Off the bat, how did you get drawn into researching women in leadership?
I entered the field somewhat by accident, drawing on my background in developmental psychology and shifting toward leadership through work on parenting, child development, and later organizational contexts, which revealed strong connections between gender, leadership development, and work-family dynamics.
The Psychology of The Self with Dr. Kennon Sheldon
Q: What practical steps can a listener take to improve self-determination in daily work or life?
Identify activities you actually enjoy and find meaningful, assess whether your goals are self-determined or driven by money or approval, and if misaligned, seek changes such as adjusting tasks, conversations with supervisors, or even changing environments to restore autonomy and engagement.
The Psychology of The Self with Dr. Kennon Sheldon
Q: What is the goal breakthrough model and how does it help someone become more self-concordant?
The model starts with recognizing dissatisfaction, then asking oneself probing questions, and allowing the non-conscious mind to incubate ideas. When new insights emerge, one should act on them to pursue more self-concordant goals, thereby increasing happiness and motivation.
