http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the privilege of speaking with Melissa DiMuro, the Chief People, Culture & Marketing Officer at Limbach, about leading with resilience during times of change and the importance of evolving alongside the businesses we serve.Melissa's journey started in a blue-collar household and was shaped by the strength and grit of her grandmother—a farmer's daughter who raised twelve siblings and worked multiple jobs just to keep food on the table. That legacy of resilience deeply influenced Melissa's leadership style and commitment to growth through discomfort.Though her path wasn't linear—initially aspiring to be a psychologist—Melissa leaned into her natural strengths and built a career across multiple male-dominated industries including printing, aviation, and construction. Her ability to navigate change and adapt through uncertainty positioned her as a transformational leader who prioritizes systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.Melissa emphasized that today's leaders must lead with calm confidence, agility, and vision—even when the future is unclear. She urges emerging leaders to develop their emotional intelligence, stay informed, and most importantly, lead with intention no matter their title.Key takeaways from the interview:0:01:58 – Melissa's hardworking grandmother served as a model for persistence, strength, and self-determination.0:05:13 – Her career path wasn't a straight line—she pivoted from psychology to HR, learning to embrace discomfort as a growth driver.0:06:47 – Melissa chose to take on tough roles and switch industries, believing that growth happens when you lean into the uncomfortable.0:09:57 – Evolving leadership means practicing systems thinking and being agile amidst constant change.0:11:29 – Emotional intelligence and intentionality are essential for leading people through disruption.0:13:21 – Great leaders manage fear by preparing their teams and working themselves out of a job—developing others is key.0:15:13 – Change leadership is not just about strategy, but the how—transparency and empathy build trust.0:18:13 – Melissa shares how Limbach is deepening customer relationships by leading with purpose and service—not just transactions.0:21:18 – A leader's long-term success depends on relationships, context, and empowering teams with shared vision.0:26:11 – Her final advice: compete only with yourself. Be better than yesterday and seek inspiration—not comparison—from others.If you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation (http://www.sherylkline.com/meeting).Cheering you on always! – Sheryl

This episode features an interview with Donald Knight, Venture Partner at Valor Ventures and Miriam Connaughton, Chief People and Experience Officer at Simpplr. Donald's expertise is in creating a culture where employees thrive and has a proven track record of constructing scalable global strategies that support international expansion. Miriam utilizes her three decades of HR consulting experience to shape and deliver a great employee experience, through dynamic HR strategies and AI-powered technology.In this episode, Shawn, Donald, and Miriam discuss the concept of high-performance cultures, how fostering human connection and empathy in the workplace can combat loneliness, and the impact of AI on workplace dynamics.-------------------“Historically, our profession has been rooted on five major time periods. It started because of being administrative in nature. Then from administration, we went into compliance. From compliance, we went into employee satisfaction. From satisfaction, you got companies that are focused on how do they engage their employees, mainly through this lens of productivity. Last, I think the best companies understand that they want people to be fulfilled. If you want people to be fulfilled, you got to recognize that there's plenty of talent at your organization that just isn't. There is a large sentiment of loneliness.” – Donald Knight“If you have lots of people with similar habits, that becomes the culture. It's habit-creating. If managers in general are good at creating psychological safety in an organization and they have a habit of practicing that, then people will generally report that's a cultural trait here. I feel really included and I feel like I can be my authentic self because it's very psychologically safe here. It doesn't just happen because you say it, it happens because people have healthy habits around that on a daily, moment-to-moment basis.” – Miriam Connaughton-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:35): Getting to know Donald and Miriam*(08:46): Being an intentional leader*(17:56): High-Performance Index and the ripple effect*(27:28): Loneliness in the workplace*(46:56): Incentivizing human-centric leadership*(53:29): The role of AI in enhancing employee experience-------------------Links:Connect with Donald on LinkedInFollow Donald on InstagramFollow Donald on ThreadsEmail DonaldConnect with Miriam on LinkedInEmail MiriamConnect with Shawn on LinkedInCohesion PodcastAbout Simpplr

When a Jüsto shopper fills their digital basket via the platform's app, the teams behind the scene are getting to know the customer. Using AI, they create a personalized experience to meet the customer's evolving needs. Paulo Neto, Jüsto's Chief People and Performance Officer, visits host Natalie Pierce for a conversation about the teams and technology that are driving Latin America's fastest-growing online grocery platform. Tune in as Paulo pulls back the curtain on Jüsto's strategies for building high-performance teams and processes that ensure its fulfillment centers deliver results 24/7. Every person, regardless of position or level, must be committed to Jüsto's culture: “Always thinking about the customer,” Paulo explains.Episode HighlightsJüsto is a 100% digital platform that leverages AI to map the customer's shopping journey for a unique experience. By cutting out supply chains, buying from local farmers and products, and saving customers' time, Jüsto responds to these key components of shopping: experience, time, and economy. Jüsto's strategy to ensure operating efficiency is focused on these three pillars: people, process, and systems.New people leaders should not try to turn a team's weaknesses into strengths, Paulo suggests, but rather discover strengths and consolidate. That way, high-performance teams can deliver results that support the company's goals.

Leadership isn't just about hitting the numbers - it's about how you get there. Through candid stories from his 25+ years in human resources, Chief People Officer Tushar Pandit challenges common misconceptions about workplace culture and HR. He explains why foosball tables and kombucha aren't company values (though he enjoys kombucha), why measuring employee engagement isn't enough, and what it really takes to build an organization where people want to stay and grow. This conversation dives into why the "Chief People and Culture Officer" title misses the mark, how to lead through constant change, and what it means to truly care for your team while driving business results.About Tushar:Tushar Pandit is a values and culture catalyst People Executive with 25+ years of broad and deep experience in the tech-enablement space: from start-ups through multi-nationals, and VC/PE-backed privately-held to publicly-traded.

He's an enabler with a principle focus to be a strategic, people leader: to lead with data to enhance an organization's sustainable and scalable long-term growth and success – all within a social and collaborative enterprise environment! Highlights:How an internship at a law firm unexpectedly led Tushar to discover his passion for HR and people operationsWhy the Chief People Officer role has evolved beyond "getting a seat at the table" into driving organizational transformationThe problem with treating culture as HR's responsibility - and why every leader needs to own itHow to handle high performers who get results but leave "20 dead bodies behind"Why work-life balance is a myth - and what work-life management looks like instead The importance of letting people be adults and trusting them to manage their timeWhy the best leaders believe more in your potential than you do yourselfHow to lead through VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) in today's business environmentThe danger of the phrase "that's the way we've always done it" - and why change management matters more than everLinks & Resources Mentioned:Follow Tushar Pandit on LinkedInSPINS (Tushar's company)Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer JohnsonGive and Take by Adam GrantGet your FREE 5 Day Leadership Reset Challenge guide here: https://llpod.link/challengePodcast Website: www.loveandleadershippod.comInstagram: @loveleaderpodFollow us on LinkedIn!Kristen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenbsharkey/ Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-s-364970111/Learn more about Kristen's leadership coaching and facilitation services: http://www.emboldify.com

Professionally, she's an executive leadership coach. 0:03:44 Great leaders don't just ask “what we are trying to accomplish?”, but also, “what is important about it?” 0:04:07 When we start a meeting establishing the purpose of the meeting, it creates power. 0:04:20 Beginning a 13-14 Sunday School class by establishing the purpose 0:05:43 “Of all the things you're trying to accomplish with this summit, what's the most important thing you'd hope they'd learn and they're longing to hear?” 0:06:00 (Kurt) Hope people walk away with a deeper ability and motivation to run a meeting 0:06:50 We meet to unify. We meet to connect. We meet to multiply our resources together. D&C 43:8-9 – When we meet, we should instruct and edify one another 0:08:08 To “instruct and edify together” implies that each participant holds a piece – no one person holds all the pieces 0:11:06 Each person in a council has a unique strength and a unique perspective. 0:13:23 DeAnna's experience with a leader having a diametrically opposed viewpoint – she might have a difficult time understanding his perspective. She sometimes had a difficult time communicating with him. It helped them to understand how the other viewed situations. 0:15:29 Feelings of self-consciousness, uncertainty, and fear led to defensiveness. Granting herself grace allowed her to grant others grace, and remove the defensiveness. 0:16:05 Citing Ether 12:27 (weakness that they may be humble); DeAnna focuses on Ether 12:37 (because you see your weakness, you'll be made strong) 0:16:35 DeAnna's weaknesses were not made strong by becoming like her Stake President. Instead, they learned from each other, they became stronger in each other, and were unified in the Savior. 0:19:00 Identify what is important about the meeting 0:19:18 Identify “how” we will be together: (1) There's always room for the Savior (2) Recognize we see things differently 0:20:30 Three or four questions always help to create clarity: (1) “What are you noticing…” or “I'm noticing…” (2) “What's important about that?” (3) “What does it mean?” (4) “Now what do we do about it” (“Why?When?How?”) 0:22:58 What do you do when you're in a meeting and you realize that you're not tracking what is being said? Many remain silent. 0:24:00 Feeling confusion in a meeting may be a spiritual prompting that others are confused. Consider that speaking up will likely help others in the room, not just yourself. 0:24:35 Going into meetings, agree about how we are going to “be” together. Set up ground rules for how we will conduct the meetings and participate. 0:26:17 Google experiment: The number one thing contributing to high-performing teams – cohesive and agile – was psychological safety. 0:27:17 There's nothing more intimidating that being one of three women in a room with 15 men in their suits.
