  • Honest and funny

    I learned so much from this podcast- I cannot wait for more episodes! Christine and Greg have amazing chemistry- you can tell they respect each other and genuinely like each other.

Team Building That Actually Works, No Ropes Course Required
Q: Greg, let's just give some tips for folks on this, but your thoughts.
The core techniques are to (1) be visibly engaged as the leader, (2) create a psychologically safe space with activities that push people out of their comfort zones, and (3) use quick, playful exercises to reveal how the team will operate under pressure, followed by structured debriefs to capture learnings.
What Great Leaders Do When Average Thinking Takes Over
Q: How does he propose leaders handle delegation and growth when handing over major responsibilities?
Leaders should actively cultivate growth in their teams, reward contrarian thinking, and create opportunities for others to step up, while maintaining trust and strategic oversight.
Working Genius in Real Life, A Live Team Coaching Session
Q: How did you come together to start this collaboration and create The Menopause Monologues?
Carrie explains that she invited Lisa and Lulu after experiencing menopause-related frustration and wanting to share stories, which led to forming The Menopause Monologues in 2024; their collaboration grew from prior friendships and professional overlap and solidified through a shared mission and regular rehearsals.
#99. Scaling Teams and Culture in Biotech and AI, with Jacob Tourjeman
Q: Can you describe the standup format and its role in keeping teams aligned?
Standups are short, typically 10-30 minutes, where each member shares yesterday's progress, today's plan, and blockers. They are followed by deeper discussions offline to avoid derailing daily momentum.
#99. Scaling Teams and Culture in Biotech and AI, with Jacob Tourjeman
Q: What practical practices help you manage cross-disciplinary teams effectively?
