In this episode, I sit down with Yuri Kruman, a leadership expert and HR consultant who's worked with some of the biggest companies out there. Yuri brings his unique journey from neuroscience to leadership coaching to our conversation, breaking down the insights that inspired his book, Be Your Own Commander-In-Chief. From moving to the U.S. as a child to making Aliyah to Israel, Yuri shares his personal story of transformation, resilience, and finding clarity in times of chaos. Key Takeaways: Embracing Chaos for Clarity: Yuri shares how embracing chaos and asking the tough questions—“Who am I?” and “What do I truly want?”—are essential for finding direction and purpose. The Power of Saying No: Understanding what doesn't align with your values is just as crucial as knowing what does. Yuri emphasizes the importance of saying “no” as a powerful step toward clarity. Building Your Inner Mental Stack: Yuri explains how organizing our mental frameworks helps us tackle life's challenges with more resilience and self-awareness. Four Pillars for Success: Yuri introduces the four volumes of his book, focusing on health, mental models, relationships, and spirituality—key areas to master if we want to lead others and ourselves effectively. Yuri's insights on authenticity, vulnerability, and the importance of tuning into our own inner dialogue are powerful reminders for any man looking to lead a more intentional and impactful life. If you've ever wondered how to peel back the layers and find out who you truly are, this episode is for you. Strength and courage! Yigal P.S.

In this episode of the HRchat podcast, we consider the employee experience and ask: Are we getting worse at communicating? Bill's guest this time is Yuri Kruman, Chief Executive Officer / Head of Remote at HR, Talent & Systems, a full-service HR Consultancy, focused on building out robust HR functions for fast-growth companies.Yuri is a sought-after speaker and expert on HR, Digital Transformation, and Employee Experience (EX).Questions For Yuri Include: How did you end up in HR after 5 other unrelated careers?In an article on LinkedIn, you write: "Basically, humans, especially men, f-ing suck at communication. We have a million channels for communication - you know, WhatsApp, Facetime, Messenger, face-to-face, FB, Slack, email, carrier pigeon. But our actual communication is poor and getting poorer". What did you mean by this, why do you feel men are particularly bad at communicating? How can poor communication manifest in the workplace? What are the negative consequences on the employee experience and what can be done to improve things?In another post called '5 Ways Transactional Thinking Is Robbing You Blind -- and How to Stop It NOW', you say "The trouble is, most of really don't get how this transactional, tactical short-sighted thinking has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, with 4-second attention spans, insanely short news cycles and blazing fast internet and mobile data speeds driving us (crazy), anxious and inattentive." Transactional thinking, you suggest, blinds us to what unites us, while exacerbating what separates us, makes us more easily manipulated, takes away our hope and makes us depressed, and causes us more to be more dependent on technology and less dependent on our own sense of right and wrong, and truth and lies. Why do we think transactionally and how can we adjust our mindsets? What compelled you to write your latest book series, Be Your Own Commander-in-Chief?More About YuriYuri is a member of the Fast Company Executive Board, Newsweek Expert Forum and Forbes Coaches Council, as well as a contributor to Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Newsweek, Business.com, Influencive and a number of other top platforms.

Moving from a large city like Moscow, which is very cosmopolitan into Lexington, Kentucky, you know, it's a lovely college town and as many professionals know, it's Middle America that has a totally different kind of middle.
