Leading Through Change

Clear is kind...but clear is not always comfortable. A good performance conversation requires enough courage to be honest, enough care to be specific, and enough curiosity to make it a real conversation. In this episode we unpack what's worked for us and how we're continuing to learn ourselves.

If your social media feeds are anything like ours, we're apparently all suffering from an overlap of afflictions. So how's a gal to know what's actually going on?  Join us as we chat through our own experiences and how we have navigated the choppy waters so far.

Join us as we chat about Jackie's recent medical situation (she's ok!), what it made us realize, and how we can be better advocates for ourselves. And for the record, yes Holly did schedule her dental cleaning.

The old adage of "the only thing that is constant is change" has never felt more fitting than now.  In this episode, we unpack what we've learned about navigating not just moving cheese but shifting sand, too.

If you are in the corporate world, you no doubt have at some point gotten feedback around "managing up".  But what does that actually mean?  Turns out one of us had it all wrong.  Join us for this chat as we shed some light on the murkiness so we can all go forward and shine!

Transitioning from elementary school to junior high as a kid was tough, but navigating it as a parent trying to help your kid? Woof. Let’s not even start on high school and college. Today we’re talking through all those big school transitions and how to help your kids - and yourself- through it all!

While AI has been around awhile, the recent acceleration and adoption of AI both by companies and consumers is enough to make your head spin.  This episode will likely be the first of many chats about how we're navigating both in work and in real life... and it's actually us not AI. 

We're back!  And what better way to reintroduce ourselves than to talk through some life reflections that Jackie had on a recent milestone birthday.  In this conversation, we dive a bit deeper into the 5 big lessons she is carrying forward into her next decade and for those of us anywhere in midlife, these likely ring true.  

There's no doubt that the world is a very different place now than when we were kids.  In this episode, we share ideas we've heard (and tried) to help our kids navigate the social landmines around them.  It's a tricky jungle out there so the more we can all share together, the better. 

How we got this far in our podcast without an episode on this, we have no idea...but it's critically important at work and in life to be able to give feedback effectively and receive it gracefully.  Also, note that in the episode we reference Radical Candor which is by Kim Scott, not Jill Scott.  We will note better show preparation as feedback...
