  • a special podcast

    There are not that many podcasts that focus on the real challenges that women in science & tech face, so this show has been a great find. I especially loved the concept of re-evaluating the special skills that got us this far, and how to get around the systemic failures that sometimes hold us back.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Avy Leghziel: The Illusion of Preparation & the Future of Work - 075
Q: What should organizations and leaders do differently to make sure training and onboarding are effective?
He recommends brief onboarding focused on essential company information, followed by hands-on work with real or past problems, mentoring, and opportunities to contribute ideas. He says these practices can develop problem-solving skills more effectively than relying on passive training modules.
Avy Leghziel: The Illusion of Preparation & the Future of Work - 075
Q: What would you advise leaders who are navigating AI-driven workplace changes and trying to figure out how to move their teams forward?
Leghziel recommends experimenting with AI on specific processes before making staffing decisions. Employees can help identify where AI may improve speed, cost, or results, allowing leaders to make more informed changes and avoid costly layoffs followed by rehiring.
Paige Wiese: From Setback to CEO & Building a Transferable Digital Business - 074
Q: How do business owners make a business transferable?
Wiese says to account for succession as well as an eventual sale, protect digital assets and brand continuity, and ensure ownership and access can transfer to someone else.
Paige Wiese: From Setback to CEO & Building a Transferable Digital Business - 074
Q: How has your experience helped you develop into the leader you are today?
Wiese began delegating work that drained her energy and built a team culture where people can move toward roles they enjoy, speak up about their interests, and work flexibly.
Shruti Rustagi: Mindset Matters on How to Lead, Thrive, and Maximize Your Career - 073
Q: So first of all, I am Delos. You wrote a book, but we'll get to that. And interestingly enough, this week, earlier this week, I was having a conversation with a lady that had worked in the industry for about 30 something years, retired, still works as a consultant now. And she brought up that the mid-level people, middle managers are still, and we still have a lot of problems there. I experienced this in my career, which is that for women in STEM, especially that's where you have the highest attrition rates. Our front of the day hasn't changed. So you are here doing all the things, wearing all the hats. You're a corporate leader, you're coaching, you're an author. My question to you is, why are you doing all this? Who are you?
That's a lovely question to start us off. My why is that I'm an explorer who wants to structure chaos, and my book Mindset Pivot to Maximize Life grew from distilling a decade of coaching. It's not about doing everything perfectly; it's about choosing the right things, prioritizing ruthlessly, and helping others grow so we can collectively move the organization forward.
