Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

397: Deborah Stuart: Are You Developing Leaders or Just Promoting Employees?
Q: Tell us about the development of internal leadership programs and why stay interviews were important.
Deborah explains that stay interviews helped uncover whether employees felt prepared for advancement and highlighted the need for a clear, equitable path to leadership through levels, education, and project opportunities.
391: Makenzie Lyons: When Your Strengths Become Your Weaknesses
Q: How did you shift from a controlling mindset to a collaborative one?
I moved from black-or-white thinking to embracing gray areas, learned to facilitate conversations that let others arrive at conclusions themselves, and started prioritizing relationships and team-building over purely tactical tasks
391: Makenzie Lyons: When Your Strengths Become Your Weaknesses
Q: What pivotal moment changed your approach to leadership?
A professional coach helped me see that 89% of a job comes naturally and that the remaining 11% is where I needed coaching, which led me to turn inward, examine my role in conflicts, and shift from blaming others to improving my leadership
392: Meredith Reynolds: When Excellence Becomes the Problem
Q: How did your early education and Coro Fellowship influence your career path in local government?
Her education in public administration and the Coro Fellowship exposed her to rotating through sectors and networking, helping her see how different pieces of civic life connect and fueling her commitment to local government as a career.
392: Meredith Reynolds: When Excellence Becomes the Problem
Q: Take us back to the beginning. Tell us about where you were born and the childhood that shaped you.
Meredith grew up in a civically engaged family in California, watching her father's work as a city manager and her mother's public health role, which shaped her focus on serving communities and understanding governance from a local level.
