HR leaders are feeling the squeeze.  With limited resources and growing pressure to improve engagement, performance, and retention, many are tasked with building manager support systems from scratch, often without the time or tools to do it effectively. In this episode, Morgan Webb, Senior Strategic Advisor at 15Five, and Yen Tan, Evangelist, Expansion & Manager Products at 15Five, share how HR can take a more focused and sustainable approach to manager enablement. They discuss why blanket training programs rarely work, how to use data to identify where support is needed most, and why piloting and iterating can drive better results than aiming for perfection. This conversation guides HR teams ready to stop doing it all and start doing what works.

Kuan Yen Tan has a high tolerance for risk.Back in 2017, he was working as a senior research scientist at Microsoft and quantum computing was barely attracting VC attention. But, despite having a young, growing family, Kuan took a big leap of faith:He left Microsoft to be CTO and co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers.Fast forward to today:Global investment in quantum computing has grown to $55+ billion and its practical potential is much closer to being realized.And IQM has raised well over €200M, building a diverse team of nearly 300 people representing 48 nationalities company in its mission to use quantum computing to solve some of humanity's greatest challenges.Curious to hear more about some of the key decisions and lessons?In the latest episode of The High-EQ Founder podcast, Kuan and I talked about:→ how IQM rounded up a team of 15 experts before they even completed the fund-raise→ how they organized — and re-organized — management roles to optimize both technical expertise and people management skills→ the approach that didn't work in developing strategic partnerships and what they do now instead→ opportunities and lessons from COVID 19 and how it accelerated organizational learningFollow Kuan on Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/kuan-yen-tan/The High-EQ Founder Playbook by Renita Kalhorn is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, I chat with my new friend, Yen Tan. We chat about why they founded Kona and how they've built a product that uses AI to help coach remote managers.

Gen Zers are thinking about their identities and how they want to show up at work. This generation is all about authenticity, but for non-binary or transgender persons, that might mean jeopardizing your job, which is a lot to consider. Corporate America has stepped up its support of LGBTQ+ rights. It is more widely accepted to be out in terms of sexual identity in the workplace. However, there is still a long road ahead to foster a truly inclusive environment, especially when it comes to gender identity. Gen Z young adults are much more likely to identify as either trans or nonbinary than other generations. A Gallup survey found that the number of Gen Z people identifying as transgender is twice that of millennials. In this episode, we speak to Gen Z founder Yen Tan who came out during the pandemic. The pandemic created a laundry list of negative impacts, but one positive outcome was that it gave people time to discover more about themselves during their time working from home. Since then, Tan has created a truly inclusive workplace in the company they created. That's something Kat Kibben told us is important for companies today. Kibben is the founder of Three Ears Media, a company that offers pronoun education to workforces. The phone calls from organizations peak during Pride Month, but Kibben says it's crucial work year-round, especially when there is a rise in anti-trans legislation. There are 583 such bills across 49 states in 2023, according to translegislation.com. Of the proposed anti-trans bills, 14 are in Florida, where Gen Zer Lana Patel grew up. In this episode, we hear her first-hand experience about transitioning and the lack of support she received from employers over the years. Today she works at Plume, a gender affirming health care company for the gender diverse community as the PR and government affairs liaison.

In our premiere episode, we talk with writer, director Yen Tan about the casting of his film 1985.

Filmmaking and friendship set the tone this week as Independent Spirit Award-nominated writer/director Yen Tan (1985, Pit Stop) joins host and real-life pal David Kittredge to discuss his life, career, and filmmaking influences. From first seeing Thelma and Louise at age 16 in his native Malaysia to premiering a feature at the Sundance Film Festival twenty years later, Tan's life in film owes as much to his own tender artistry and graphic design background as it does his reverence for the stories of gay men and the worlds around them. With two modern LGBTQ+ classics already created - one fostered with the help of the Outfest Screenwriting Lab - we can't wait to see where Yen Tan goes next. Support this podcast

In the film “1985,” a young man returns home for the holidays burdened with how he'll tell his family that he's dying of AIDS. It's the latest from Austin resident and former North Texas director Yen Tan, who talks with us about how a story set in the past can inform the present. The film previously played at SXSW and the Dallas International Film Festival in the spring and opens at the Texas Theatre on Friday.

Dennis heads to Koreatown in L.A. to interview Yen Tan, the writer director of such films as Pit Stop, Ciao and his latest 1985, which is about a young man who has been diagnosed with HIV visiting his parents in Texas over the Christmas holidays. Yen talks about the insurance job he had in his early 20's that inspired the film, why he chose to shoot in black and white, working with the actors Virginia Madsen, Michael Chiklis, Cory Michael Smith (Gotham) and Jamie Chung, the challenge of shooting long takes and the moving comments he's gotten from audiences after screenings. He also talks about his sideline gig of doing graphic design for films, his current favorite font Brandon Grotesque, getting representation and lots of Hollywood meetings as a result of 1985 and how being gay and Asian-American has affected his career trajectory. Other topics include: the Goldie Hawn soundtrack that was his first cassette he ever bought, growing up in Malaysia and learning English from movies, his Elephant Man epiphany, coming to the U.S. for college, coming out, why he makes films and that time he sang in front of the whole school and it didn't go well. www.1985thefilm.com

Austin writer and director Yen Tan released a powerful film this year, “1985.” It tells the story of Adrian, a young man living through the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York who returns home for the holidays to his conservative Texas family. Yen dropped by the kitchen to talk about the development and production of the film, telling every day stories poetically, being an independent filmmaker in Austin, his previous feature projects, and his incredible graphic design work for other directors. The outro music is “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 from the “Batman Forever” soundtrack. Find out where you can see “1985” on the film’s website: http://1985thefilm.com/
