  • Detailed and entertaining

    Mary is an excellent interviewer. She is thorough, yet entertaining to keep your attention during the entire episode. I really enjoy the guests she has on the show in their own, but with the questions she asks she takes their expertise to the next level.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

426: How to listen like a (real) leader - with Dr. Adam Hickman
Q: How should leaders turn engagement survey results into real action?
Focus less on the score and more on the underlying causes, map high and low areas with a heat map, and implement a concrete action plan with clear ownership and a 72-hour initial results share, followed by ongoing coaching and team sessions.
426: How to listen like a (real) leader - with Dr. Adam Hickman
Q: What do you mean by the idea that we have a question problem, not a listening problem?
The point is to shift from asking generic, surface questions to purposeful, high-value questions that reveal what really matters, such as what's not working or where people are stuck, which then drives better actions.
420: How to leverage Human Intelligence in a digital world - with Jacqueline Langlois
Q: What practical tips would you give for communicating across generations in modern teams?
Focus on perceptual and behavioral intelligence, pause to understand others' perspectives, and implement time-zone aware scheduling and small bonding rituals (like show-and-tell mullet moments) to strengthen team connection and reduce miscommunication.
420: How to leverage Human Intelligence in a digital world - with Jacqueline Langlois
Q: What does Gen D mean and how does this shift affect leadership communication and connection?
Gen D stands for the digital generation. It reflects multiple generations in the workforce who interact differently with technology and collaboration. Leaders must tailor communication, foster cross-cultural understanding, and create environments that bridge generational gaps through intentional, human-centered approaches.
420: How to leverage Human Intelligence in a digital world - with Jacqueline Langlois
Q: What is human intelligence and why is it important to strengthen these skills in a digital world?
Human intelligence includes perceptual and behavioral insight, emotional intelligence, and the ability to understand context and cultural nuances—skills AI cannot fully replicate. Strengthening these areas helps leaders connect, communicate, and build trust more effectively amid automation and digital platforms.
