  • Great and useful podcast for new managers

    I've only been a manager for a few years and so I'm continuing to learn how to manage people, processes, and substantive matters. As a former litigation attorney who has transitioned to a non-legal role, I'm aware that lawyers tend to be terrible managers! This podcast has helped me tremendously.

  • Great direction for an overlooked audience

    In my work as a DEI facilitator and consultant, I often see managers who are expected to be “all things” but don’t get the training and support to do it well. While we can challenge our organizations to do this differently, this podcast serves as a helpful guide for mid-level managers to build their people and management skills along the way.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

402: The Missing Link Between Communication and Connection with Nidhi Tewari
Q: What advice do you have for leaders when conversations become emotionally charged?
Pause, regulate your nervous system, listen, validate, and gradually guide the other person toward a shared understanding, using a menu of options to empower the other person rather than forcing a single solution.
402: The Missing Link Between Communication and Connection with Nidhi Tewari
Q: Can you walk us through the check-in framework?
The framework uses curiosity-based questions, maintaining an open demeanor, exploring supports with options, following through, and knowing how to repair when necessary to keep the relationship on track.
402: The Missing Link Between Communication and Connection with Nidhi Tewari
Q: How does attunement relate to organizational culture and dynamics?
Attunement includes reading cues about what is appropriate in a work culture, such as how benefits like unlimited PTO are actually used, and creating conditions of trust and safety that encourage openness.
402: The Missing Link Between Communication and Connection with Nidhi Tewari
Q: What are we talking about when you use the word attunement, and what's the context for this?
Attunement is a leader's moment-to-moment responsiveness to others' needs, driven by reading and aligning with cues in the environment and within interpersonal dynamics to foster connection and appropriate behavior.
401: How to Use Nature to Rewire Your Brain for Greater Focus, Creativity, and Energy with Dr. John La Puma
Q: How should people manage morning light and inconsistent sunrise, especially with busy schedules?
Morning light within the first hour of waking is crucial for clock resetting; if mornings are dark, options include a 10,000 lux light therapy lamp to anchor circadian rhythm, while still aiming to get actual morning sunlight when possible to benefit from full-spectrum wavelengths.
