  • Let’s Go Deep: Drinking and Workspace

    I listened to several episodes back-to-back and appreciate Laurie’s ability to draw out deep conversations between her and her interviewee(s). The episodes go deeper into the nuances, language, and real world experiences of alcohol in the workspace. The range of experts with tactical, strategic knowledge and personal lived experiences keep the listening, very dynamic and engaging! Thank you, Laurie!

  • Bring Humanity Back To Work

    A podcast that restores hope in humanity. First off, Laurie is direct, transparent, and demonstrates a sincere curiosity of her guests and the world of work. The workforce is complex and ever-changing. As an Executive Coach, I see so many clients who are convinced that there is a loss of humanity in organizational settings today. Her show restores that hope by bringing in experts, executives, and thought leaders who are actively trying to change that belief. I highly recommend.
