Long time follower of Cy and love her perspective and Alex is also so insightful! So relevant to our current workforce challenges! So many takeaways. Well done!!
Cy and Alex are thought leaders. Practitioners and knowledge spreaders. They succinctly explain topic in a way that encapsulates what you know but haven’t necessarily been able to verbalize. I learn something from every podcast!
I love the book and I really look forward to hearing the show, but I get so annoyed and distracted when Cy interrupts the guest and their complete thought. I unfollowed because it’s frustrating when listening.
When I heard Cy on a TikTok I wrote the phrase “Your Ego is not your amigo” on my whiteboard. My boss read it and other colleagues and ask where I got it from because they liked it. I told them about Cy and immediately we all went on our phones and downloaded the podcast. Cyn
I’m so glad I found you. Great content…I love the encouragement to self reflect and improve without intimidation.
