  • Practical leadership advice that goes deeper

    Jill brings a thoughtful and practical perspective to leadership. I especially appreciated her episode challenging the traditional idea of executive presence and replacing it with a clearer Leadership Identity Framework. The show goes beyond surface-level career advice and gives experienced professionals useful ways to think about how they lead, communicate, and navigate what comes next.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Human-Centered Leadership In The AI Age with John Doyle, Chief Strategy Officer at DonerColle
Q: When you look over what's been happening in the industry, what starts to feel fundamentally different now from other periods of disruption?
Doyle says the current shift is faster, more dramatic, and more intense. AI may transform industries and create new ways for brands to provide services and relationships, while leaders must preserve the human and emotional qualities that connect people to brands.
Human-Centered Leadership In The AI Age with John Doyle, Chief Strategy Officer at DonerColle
Q: What do you think kept you going during those times?
Doyle says early career persistence came partly from not seeing how distant the goal was, and later from continuing to pursue opportunities while bringing a useful point of view. Regular outreach eventually led an agency president to call him with an opportunity.
How to Be Seen, Known, and Valued with Dr. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton
Q: What should HR or hiring managers do differently to assess candidates with hybrid identities?
Use language that names the candidate's primary intersections, expect storytelling about how they see themselves in work, and seek evidence of impact across domains rather than relying solely on traditional titles.
How to Be Seen, Known, and Valued with Dr. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton
Q: How can someone start unpacking their professional identity this week?
Sarabeth lays out three power questions and a 50-identity brainstorm to surface core identities, then narrows to primary ones and explains how to describe the intersection of multiple identities.
How to Be Seen, Known, and Valued with Dr. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton
Q: Why do you think many professionals struggle to explain who they are even when they know their value?
Jill's example shows a long list of attributes that aren't cohesively tied to a single professional identity, highlighting how lack of training in self-reflection makes it hard to articulate a clear, unique identity.
