  • An essential listen for thought leaders using their voice for impact!

    I love the way Tricia highlights just how important it is for us to be having these big talks.

    Her most recent episode on rebel leadership featuring Maria DeLorenzis Reyes truly stuck out to me. The insights they offer share a powerful reminder that leadership is evolving, and that making room for all walks of life isn’t just important, but it’s the path forward.

Creating High-Performing Teams with Lisa Shumate
Q: Share with our listeners a little bit about what that means and how you came to it.
Lisa describes stepping away from running a public media organization to found Maximum Q, inspired by the rocket science analogy of Maximum Q—reaching the point where the atmosphere is the most challenging, yet critical for continuing flight. The approach emphasizes enabling beliefs, emotional regulation, and a constructive, collaborative environment.
