Professional performance is exhausting. Maintaining the mask. Editing ourselves. Pretending we know when we don't.

This podcast is about people who dropped the performance. And what happened next.

Each episode features someone who broke professional conventions and found something better on the other side: the executive who disclosed grief in a corporate setting and found it opened new ways of r... more

  • Master Class

    Every single episode is filled with incredible nuggets that I find myself applying immediately, both practically in my day-to-day work as well as sharing with all my colleagues. Not only will the insights from the interviews make you a better facilitator, but also a more empathetic leader! I recommend this podcast to everyone I know.

  • Interesting to hear from fellow trainers

    The first few episodes are very promising. It’s interesting to hear from fellow trainers and facilitators how they deal with challenging situations when working with groups. The host is authentic and she seems genuinely curious in what her guests have to say, which is not always the case when you listen to interview shows. We want more!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

023 - The Third Space: Belonging Comes First with Donatella Caggiano
Q: Would you share an anecdote of a time when you felt unprofessional and how it shaped your approach to leadership?
She recalls a period of secret change and layoffs where she created a two-day co-working retreat to bring the team together, moving from a traditional top-down approach to a more collaborative, human-centered process.
021 - Innovation Before Consensus with Rori DuBoff
Q: How do you see AI changing the way organizations assess credibility and trust in their communications?
AI can streamline truth-seeking and help verify content, but it cannot replace human judgment and authenticity; tools are there to support, not replace, credible human insight.
021 - Innovation Before Consensus with Rori DuBoff
Q: What have you learned about the balance between delivering innovative ideas and getting organizational buy-in?
Innovation often works best when you build trust and show how the idea integrates with existing goals, rather than pushing a disruptive concept all at once; alignment and patience are essential.
021 - Innovation Before Consensus with Rori DuBoff
Q: What was your approach to turning unused office space into a legitimate new technology lab, and how did you persuade others to support it?
I moved quickly with a minimal budget, demonstrated early value, and brought one or two like-minded people on board to transform the space and prove the concept before seeking broader alignment.
020 - Fitting Out at Work with Emanuele Mazzanti
Q: If there is one unprofessional advice you would give, what would it be?
Prioritize connection over rigid self-improvement; break distance by meeting people where they are, start from self-awareness, and gradually introduce human-centered practices to unlock deeper engagement and performance.
