In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin explores what every team—at work and at home—needs more of: play. Joined by real-life partners and improv powerhouses Greg Tavares and Amber Nash, this episode dives into how playful communication can defuse tension, deepen connection, and make conflict feel a whole lot less... combative. Greg, an improv teacher and facilitator with decades of experience helping teams collaborate more creatively, joins forces with Amber, a voiceover actor best known as Pam on Archer, to unpack how the tools of improv aren't just for the stage—they're for the conference room, the kitchen, and everywhere in between. From mismatched communication styles to stuck-in-a-rut dynamics, this episode is a fresh take on resolving conflict without losing your cool—or your connection. Whether you're managing workplace drama or relationship tension, this one's packed with practical wisdom and plenty of laughs. Inside This Episode: Why “Yes, And” is more than an improv cliché—it's a relationship game-changer How to argue less by listening more (and differently) The science behind play and its impact on emotional regulation Spotting your partner's “bids” for connection—and not missing them How to fight in ways that are productive, not punitive Real-world exercises to bring more curiosity and humor into conflict Why improv-trained teams collaborate better—and how to borrow their tricks Why laughter really is the best medicine for tension What makes couples and coworkers more resilient together Who This Episode Is For: This one's for anyone tired of the same old arguments—whether with your partner, your teammate, or your boss. If you want to replace reactivity with creativity, and tension with trust, tune in. Whether you're leading a team or living with one, this episode is your permission slip to play more, fight less—and have way more fun doing it.

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're talking about the kind of conflict resolution that doesn't involve a six-part text thread or passive-aggressive dishwasher loading. We're diving into how playfulness—yes, even mid-fight—can be your secret weapon for stronger, happier relationships. Whether it's your partner, roommate, or that one family member who treats the group chat like a TED Talk… this snack is for you. The Problem: You're crushing deadlines at work—but stuck in a weird silence at home. Maybe it was about socks. Or the dishes. Or nothing at all. And now you're trying to lead a team while low-key simmering with resentment. Spoiler: unresolved tension doesn't stay home. It follows you to Zoom. Why It Matters: Research shows emotional residue from personal relationships impacts performance, presence, and psychological safety at work. You can't be fully present in the boardroom if you're still replaying last night's kitchen argument. The Improv Hack to Try: The Silent Scene Yes, it's as ridiculous—and effective—as it sounds.  Next time things get tense with your partner, skip the serious convo and act out a mundane task (like folding laundry) with exaggerated mime and facial expressions. No words. Just play. Why it works: Interrupts the fight-or-flight cycle Sparks laughter and connection Rebuilds rhythm and sync—without a 45-minute processing session It's improv for intimacy. Lucille Ball meets couple's therapy. Coming up Wednesday: Ready to take this playful practice even deeper?

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're talking about the kind of trust fall that doesn't involve closing your eyes and hoping Linda from Accounting catches you. Nope—we're talking about the invisible, emotional kind. The one that happens during reorgs, layoffs, and those delightfully vague “strategic shifts” when your team is quietly wondering, “Are we safe? Can we trust you? Or should I start updating my LinkedIn headline to ‘Open to Work'?” If you're leading through change (or just trying to survive it)—this snack is for you. The Problem: Here's the situation: Your company is “reimagining,” “realigning,” or “restructuring”—aka, no one knows what's actually happening. And while the all-hands slides say “exciting opportunities ahead,” your team is refreshing their résumés and watching your every move. Why? Because trust doesn't disappear in a reorg—it falls. And someone's gotta catch it. That someone? You. Trust isn't built through promises—it's built through presence. Through honesty. Through leaders who are willing to say: “Here's what I know. Here's what I don't. And here's what I do know—we'll figure it out together.” The Improv Hack to Try: The “Yes, And… But Also” Technique Here's how to lead when everything's unclear—without pretending to have all the answers.Use this structure when delivering change or uncertainty: “Yes, and…” to validate what's real and open space for what's possible “But also…” to acknowledge fears and bring humanity into the room  Try this: “Yes, we're going through changes, and I know that can feel unsettling. But also—I believe in this team's ability to stay connected and support one another.” It's not spin. It's not sugarcoating. It's leadership that's rooted in reality and hope. Try it at your next team meeting. Watch what happens when trust stops falling—and starts rising.

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're serving up some truth for anyone who's ever screamed into their steering wheel after a one-on-one like, “How does Brad STILL make more than me?” If you've ever been underpaid, undervalued, or under-celebrated—this snack is for you. The Problem: Here's the tea: Women are doing the absolute most. More emotional labor. More coordinating. More everything. And yet—less recognition, less pay, and fewer opportunities. We've been fed a narrative that if we just negotiate better or manifest harder, things will change. But let's be honest: the system wasn't built for us. So, we end up overachieving and under-receiving—and wondering why we're so exhausted. Here's a stat to file under “rage fuel”: Women still earn 82 cents to every dollar a man makes. And for women of color? The gap only grows. If you've ever thought, “Why does this feel so hard?”—you're not imagining it. You're experiencing a system designed to burn you out and keep you quiet. But here's the good news: We may not have built the system—but we sure as hell can break it. And rebuild it in our image. The Improv Hack to Try: The Reverse Résumé Game Here's how it works: Partner up with a trusted friend, or just hit record solo. Pretend you're your own agent. You've got 60 seconds to pitch yourself for a dream gig. The twist? You can't mention anything from your actual résumé. No titles. No companies. Just the real you.  Think: The time you calmed a furious client with zero drama. How you led a team through layoffs with compassion. That week you juggled three deadlines while your kid had the flu—and still delivered. Those stories? They're your power. This improv hack rewires your brain from “Do I deserve this?” to “Damn right I do—and here's why.” Coming up Wednesday: Feeling fired up? Then don't miss Wednesday's full episode—Episode 293: Pay Up with Reshma Saujani (yes, the founder of Girls Who Code + CEO of Moms First). If you're tired of overworking and under-earning, this episode is your invitation to burn the old rules and build new ones.

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're sending a leadership love letter to the quiet ones—the deep thinkers, the spreadsheet whisperers, the back-row observers who see everything. Because if you've ever left a meeting thinking, “Why didn't they speak up?” or “I wish I'd said that…”—this snack's for you. The Problem: Okay, picture this: You're in a team meeting. The extroverts are riffing, the whiteboard is filling up, and you notice someone hasn't said a word. You know they've got gold in their head, but they haven't chimed in. Or maybe... that person is you. Too many workplaces reward the loudest voice in the room. But when we only value volume, we silence vision. And let's be real—your quiet teammates? They're not zoned out. They're tuned in. The Improv Hack to Try: The Character Swap Hack What can you do to make space for that quiet brilliance? Here's a leadership tweak I've never shared before—and it's straight from the improv stage. Before your next meeting, mentally pick a quieter teammate. (No need to tell them—it's your secret leadership lab.) Then ask: How would they run this meeting? What would they focus on? How would they pace it? Now the fun part: Kick off the meeting as if you were them. Use their tone, their cadence, their intentionality. In improv, we step into other characters to explore new perspectives. And when you do this in leadership? You build empathy, highlight hidden genius, and create meetings that feel less like a race—and more like a rhythm. Bonus: You might just change your whole team vibe for the better. Coming Up Wednesday: Loved this Snack?

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin welcomes keynote speaker, facilitator, and introverted powerhouse Cristy Von to the mic for a conversation that redefines what it means to lead from a place of quiet strength. Together, they dig into the surprising overlap between improv and introversion, showing how safe spaces, self-awareness, and a little bit of “yes, and” can transform leadership from the inside out. Cristy shares her journey from mistaking herself for an extrovert to fully embracing her introverted identity—and how that shift changed the way she leads, connects, and recharges. This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership doesn't require being the loudest in the room. Sometimes, it starts with simply knowing your limits and honoring them. Whether you're leading workshops, giving keynotes, or just trying to survive your next Zoom call, this one's for anyone who's ever wondered if quiet can still be commanding. (Spoiler alert: it absolutely can.) Inside This Episode: Why Cristy used to think she was an extrovert—and what changed How improv became a launchpad for her confidence The importance of creating safe, inclusive workshop spaces What keynote speaking taught Cristy about energy management The link between vulnerability and powerful facilitation Why collaboration between introverts and extroverts matters more than ever The mindset shift that helped Cristy find joy (and her voice) at work Who This Episode Is For: This episode is for the introverts in leadership roles, the workshop facilitators who crave real connection, and the quiet professionals looking to own their power without pretending to be someone they're not. If you're a recovering over-functioner who wants to lead with authenticity, boundaries, and a sense of play—pull up a chair.

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're giving the quiet leaders in the room a standing ovation—and a strategy. Because if you've ever felt invisible in loud leadership spaces, this one's for you. The Problem: Corporate culture often rewards the boldest brainstormer, the fastest talker, the loudest voice. But what if you're the deep thinker, the one who shines in 1:1s, and recharges solo? Too often, introverted leaders are overlooked—not because they lack ideas, but because they don't shout them. That's not a flaw. That's a missed opportunity…for everyone else. The Improv Hack to Try: “The Power Pause” Next time you're in a meeting and have something to say—don't jump in fast to prove you're ready. Wait. Take a beat. Let the room settle. Then drop your insight with intention. That pause? It signals thoughtfulness, confidence, and leadership—without you ever raising your voice. In improv, silence isn't awkward—it's powerful. Use it to own your space and lead, your way. Want More Like This? Don't miss Wednesday's episode—Episode 291: “Introvert to Bold Leader: How Small Risks Turn Into Big Wins (Without Burning Out).” You'll hear from Cristy Von, our Director of Talent at improve it!, as she shares her journey from quietly capable to boldly confident—and how improv helped her lead without changing who she is.

Advance your career success with better communication skills Simple steps to become an effective communicator Episode 213 (Ty is based in Toronto, Canada) In this conversation with Ty Hoesgen, we explore: The lack of proper communication skills for students The danger of depending only on your technical expertise Communication is a learnable skill Even shy, clumsy introverts can learn how to communicate Why people start talking before they speak The importance of relevant structure and organization Coaching your team to improve How to use the PREP structure (Point, Reason, Example, Point) About our guest, Ty Hoesgen: Ty Hoesgen grew up as a shy, awkward farm kid near a town of 800 people. He's the author of "Elite Communication Skills". You can take the free course, "Speak like a Confident Leader in 7 Days: at https://howtospeakbetter.com/ Follow at https://www.instagram.com/tyhoesgen/ Connect at https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyhoesgen/ ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Ty Hoesgen: There's a famous scene from the show The Office, if any of your listeners have seen the office, and it's Michael Scott, who is the head boss there, and he says, Sometimes I just start a sentence. And I don't really know where it's going. But I just hope I find it along the way. And that's what a lot of people seem to do, especially in the corporate world, when it matters the most, to be clear, to have people understand, to be persuasive to be powerful. And so one of the biggest mistakes is just having no structure, no organization, in the way that you are explaining something, you're just rolling the dice and hoping for the best when you open your mouth. ----- So how can someone better structure their message?   This is something that should absolutely be taught in schools structuring your message. So first, what is your intended message? This is something that you should know, before you start speaking. I teach a framework that a lot of my clients find very easy, and they find it very useful. It's called the PRP framework. So it's point. Reason. Point. It's very simple. If you get asked a question, you start with your main point first. So your intended message first, what's really the main thing you want them to know? Then the reasons so why do you think this? Where did this point come from? Why do you believe this? And so you give your reasons for that. And then because people tend to hear and remember the things that they hear first, and the things that they hear last the most. Whereas you want to restate our point at the end, because we want the last thing they hear to be that main message. So we've got our point, first, than our reason or reasons. And we restate it with a point at the end, the Restatement at the end, very underrated and necessary. Because if you ever been in a situation where the conversation just kind of gets off track, sometimes that's because somebody has ended their point with something that's a little bit off. And people respond to whatever they hear most recently. So if we restate the main point, at the end, it's a lot less likely those conversations are going to get off track. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.     Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills. Especially presentation. He's fascinated by the links between communication and influencing behaviors.

They are too busy taking care of everyone else. Too busy minding the store and making the money. They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man.

If anyone comes to me for tips on how to get dogs to listen more, I always ask them to do this: “Think of the most connected, most effective conversations you've had with a loved one. Were they done with shouting, or were they filled with calm, understanding energy?” Surely, you would say the latter. And it's true. As a parent, the most effective conversations I've had with my children are ones done in absolute calmness. No anger. Without raised voices. No hurtful words. And like what I mentioned in my book “What The Dogs Taught Me About Being A Parent”, it's the same with our dogs! One of the best ways to make dogs listen and connect with us is to practice silence and calm energy whenever we communicate with them. Read on to learn more about this. Key Takeaways: Dogs listen and connect with us more when we have a calmer energy. Starting the day with a calmer energy helps our dogs become calm and receptive to us. What we consider as regular noise can already be too overwhelming for our dogs. Making sure our energies and noise are regulated can help dogs tune in better.

We all started chatting in the car and having a great time. But during the trip, something interesting happened. My friend and I stopped talking and focused on listening to our wives speaking softly. My friend turned to me and said, "Hey, mate, I think they're talking about something important!" We spent the rest of the drive in complete silence, eager to hear what they were discussing. This experience made me realize that sometimes, being quiet and calm helps you communicate better than shouting! This lesson from everyday life also applies to training dogs. Our dogs respond better to calm and quiet energy than loud noises. If you really want your dog to listen, focus on the silence and the calm. LEARN HOW TO CONNECT WITH YOUR DOGS BETTER WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Why Silence Is Important in Making Dogs Listen to Us More Important note: I have to add here that when I say silence, I don't mean you say zero words to your dog. It is being intentional with words, ensuring we keep what we say, and our energy, in check. So, why is silence important for dogs? In the wild, dogs are calmer and quieter. They are not used to hearing shouting. In fact, they only use their sound — like barking and howling — to communicate danger and to protect the pack. They use noise for the REAAAALLY important stuff. It's a different story for our domesticated dogs. Every single day, they have to deal with different kinds of noise like: The hustle and bustle of morning preparations when kids and adults start their day. The busy reunions at night time when everyone has to scramble to prepare for dinner or family time. Loud sports matches on TV and the hyperactive energy from watching these kind of programs. And what seems to be regular noise to us is already too much for our dogs. Too much that it makes dogs tune out and not hear what we are saying! And this overwhelm and tuning out makes it hard for dogs to understand your commands, which can make you wonder, “Does my dog even listen to me?” 5 Reasons Why a Dog Is Not Responding To You I always tell dog owners this: a dog who doesn't seem to listen is a dog who has tuned out. Dogs are not inherently disobedient and defiant. Sometimes, it's just hard for them to get you. Here are some factors that could contribute to their inability to listen and respond to your commands. Reason #1: They Are Overwhelmed Just like humans, our dogs can become overwhelmed by their surroundings or situations. If your dog is exposed to too much stimuli, such as noise, new people, or unfamiliar environments, they may need help to focus on your commands. It's crucial to recognize when your dog might be feeling overwhelmed and take steps to create a calmer and more controlled environment. What to Do If you suspect your dog has tuned out, retrace what happened before. Have you been shouting more? Is the noise at home louder this time? Is there increased activity in your home? Knowing what caused your dog to tune out can help you understand what's causing your dog to become unresponsive to your commands. Reason #2: The Energy You Have Speaks Differently Than Your Voice Dogs are highly attuned to energy and body language. In fact, they can sense your emotions and intentions often more accurately than they can understand your words. Feelings of anxiety, frustration, or impatience… your dog feels them. When they pick up on these negative emotions, it becomes more difficult for them to respond positively to your commands. What to Do Always make sure that your energy matches your words. If you ask your dog to “Please calm down," you have to be calm as well. Remember: dogs understand energy more than words! When they see that you're calm, they can calm down, too. DOG CALMING CODE: TEACHES DOGS TO REALLY LISTEN TO YOU Reason #3: You're Shouting a Lot, and They No Longer Know What's Urgent and What's Not Consistent shouting or using a loud, commanding tone can lead to confusion for your dog. The louder you shout, the more they are desensitized to your voice, not knowing when a command is really essential. As dog owners, there are crucial moments when shouting is a NEED. If you're always shouting for every single command, you lose the power of a louder voice. What to Do Use clear and consistent commands with a normal tone of voice. Only use loud or urgent commands when you want immediate action from your dog. This way, your dog will better understand when it's CRUCIAL to respond promptly. Reason #4: You Are Not Connected with Your Dog A strong connection with you is what makes dogs understand what you're asking from them. Your dog should have a strong connection with you to know that your commands are always for the better. If you haven't invested enough time in building this connection and trust, your dog can go and think: “Should I trust them enough to do what they're commanding me to do?” What to Do Connect with your dog using a non-threatening and calm energy. When your dog is agitated, calmly check for the reason and avoid reacting harshly. Reason #5: They Don't See You as a Leader They Can Trust Dogs are pack animals and naturally inclined to follow a leader they can trust. Our dogs will constantly check on us to see if we're the leader they can rely on. They will sometimes test us, checking if we're easily provoked or if we are truly the leader capable of leading the pack. The more we show a calm, sure, confident energy, the more they will trust us. What to Do Establish yourself as a trustworthy leader by setting clear boundaries and rules for your dog. And always do things with a calm energy. If your dog refuses your commands, you can use the strategy I call the Three C's: the calm, consistent, consequence to an action. An example of this is gently leading your dog to a timeout when a behavior needs to be corrected. It's timeout with absolutely zero angry energy. It's powerful for dogs! DOG CALMING CODE: THE ONLINE PROGRAM THAT HAS CHANGED 88,000 DOGS! Use this Quick Exercise on Silence and Calm Energy To Make Your Dog Listen More A routine that begins in silence is one effective exercise to strengthen your bond with your dog and encourage a more attentive response. th Here's how you can try it: Step 1: Start Your Day Quietly In the morning, when you check in with your dog, aim to keep your energy low and your actions almost silent. You can start with as little as 30 seconds of this calm interaction, or if you're up for it, extend it to three minutes. The key is to connect with your dog in a very calm, very serene way. Step 2: Observe the Effect on Your Dog While you enjoy the calm, start observing how your dog responds to your quieter demeanor. This exercise will show you how your dog react to a positive change in your energy. Step 3: Call Your Dog Calmly After a few minutes of this serene connection, gently say your dog's name, crouch down, and calmly call them over to you. Observe how they respond as they approach you. They will exhibit a far calmer energy compared to when you initiate interactions with a more elevated energy level. And when a dog is calmer, they're more ready to listen to you. THE DOG CALMING CODE: THE ONLINE DOG TRAINING PROGRAM TRUSTED BY DOG OWNERS How to Get Dogs to Listen More: Why Yelling Is Not the Answer I know that not yelling at dogs is easier said than done, especially when we feel like our dogs just don't pay attention to what we are saying. If you do struggle with yelling, here are some things I want you to remember the next time you feel triggered to raise your voice at your dogs. Reason #1: Yelling Tells Your Dog You're Not a Confident Leader, Making It Hard for Them to Follow You The pack leader often exudes a calm and confident energy. They can't be challenged because they know they're capable. Even in danger, they show the pack they can handle it. Dogs are pack animals, and if you want them to listen to you, you have to show them you're worthy of being listened to. How? By showing calm and confident energy… just like a pack leader would! If you're running around anxious, or if your dog's actions trigger a stressed reaction, your dog will start to think “They aren't confident and brave enough as a pack leader. When I'm stressed, they get more stressed! They're worried! They're scared! Should I trust them? Can they really make me safe? Should I really listen to them?” Remember this: in your dog's eyes, leadership is not always synonymous with shouting. Reason #2: Yelling — as a Knee Jerk Reaction — Rarely Builds Any Connection Let's take the example of a dog who does not stop barking. Dogs bark when they feel the property they're protecting is threatened. Some dog owners think that dogs bark just because, and a “Stop it!” — in a shouty fashion — is enough. It's not enough. As long as the dog isn't pacified that you've seen the threat, you've analyzed the threat, and you've shown your dog that you got it covered, the barking will not stop. (I talk more about this in Doggy Dan Golden Rule #4: Danger) Calmly approaching a barking episode can help you see what really triggers the barking. Your calmness also tells your dog “I'm the leader and I'm not worried. I got it all covered for you. You're safe. You can stop barking.” It's a connection that only happens when we stop yelling at our dogs ! TEACH YOUR DOGS TO LISTEN TO YOU WITH THE HELP OF THE DOG CALMING CODE Reason #3: If We Go About Yelling Every Time, Our Dog Will Constantly Carry a Stressed Energy With Them Your dog doesn't just feel your energy; they absorb it, too. If you're running stressed all around the house, your dog will absorb that stress, too. And a stressed dog is rarely a dog that obeys and listens. If you want a calmer dog, the calm energy should start with you. The Dog Calming Code: The Program That Helps Calm Dogs Down and Makes Them Listen More Choosing to be calm is such a journey for every dog owner. But it's one worth taking because it comes with amazing benefits such as: A calmer dog A healthier relationship built on trust A loving connection with your dog A more peaceful home A dog who isn't always stressed and agitated And so much more! My online program, The Dog Calming Code™️, is for any dog owner who wants to know how to make dogs listen and obey more without using force or shouting. Following this program lets you communicate with your dogs calmly and clearly. When calmness prevails in your relationship, you can enjoy a dog who connects with you, listens to you, and obeys you without any need for you to shout.

Raising tuition can be a touchy subject for owners. It's something you know you have to do—something you have the right to do—and yet you feel the need to justify it every time.This was also true for Courtney Greiner, owner of Mini Mos Child Care and Preschool.In the early years of running her school, Courtney struggled to find a balance between the desire to improve her center and the very real costs of running her business.After exhausting every other possibility, Courtney finally came to the conclusion that she had to implement a tuition increase. It was the only way to keep the school running at the high standard her community deserved and set goals for future improvements.At first, she felt beyond guilty. She knew many parents were struggling financially and didn't want to create more of a burden for them.But eventually, Courtney realized that the parents were getting so much value for the tuition they were paying. Her teachers were incredible, the curriculum was exceptional, and the children were provided with all kinds of additional opportunities for enrichment.Her center deserved to be well-funded.In the end, it turned out that Courtney's anxiety was for nothing. After she raised the tuition, she saw that the parents didn't complain about the increase at all. Just as she had recognized the quality of the education her center was providing, so did the parents.The only real obstacle that entire time was Courtney's own mindset.In this week's podcast episode, I sit down with Courtney Greiner to talk not only about money mindset, but also the many other takeaways she has gleaned during her 5-year membership in our Owner's Only HQ program.Join Courtney and I as we chat about:The state of her center before joining the membershipHow her personal relationships have changed since becoming a memberHer journey to shifting her money mindsetHow the culture of her center has evolvedWhy you should bet on yourself and consider joining the membership tooLearn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic Courtney was hesitant to bet on herself at first, but once she did, she realized that an investment in herself was really an investment in her center.

Leadership can be defined in many different ways, but author Joanne Ciulla said it best when she wrote, “Leadership is not a person or a position. It's a complex moral relationship between people based on trust, obligation, commitment, emotion, and a shared vision of the good.” There are many leaders among us, and they're found in various kinds of people, places, and even the most unlikely positions.Unfortunately, many people – especially women – struggle with leadership, as only 35% currently hold a leadership position out of the 54.3% that make up today's workforce. What's more, is that individuals may not even realize that they have the ability to lead or influence, because they believe that to be an effective leader, they must have a title, or they view leadership as something that has to be earned. People don't need to change who they are to be an effective leader – they simply need to have a passion for what they do and learn how to leverage who they are to make an impact. In this episode of “Bring Out The Talent,” we are joined by Ashley Cox. Ashley is the Founder and CEO of SproutHR and author of “Transform Your Stories: Overcome Your Toxic Stories, Become a Courageous and Confident Leader, and Impact the World.”Tune in as we learn some tips to lead successfully and confidently in the workplace!

Even the most capable working professionals struggle with self-doubt, costing themselves time, money, opportunities, and their reputations.In this special episode, Lisa interviews Tricia, focusing on her approach to helping leaders harness their grit and trust their gut so they can defeat self-doubt, gain confidence, and make progress on their priorities.Welcome to this episode of the One Next Step Podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
