Is the way we work working?  In this episode, we’re sitting down with Stacey Gordon, MBA who is a leader in the diversity, equity, and inclusion space - or as she prefers to describe DEI:  the Disrupt, Evolve, and Innovate space.  She shares her first-hand experience of witnessing bias which led her to becoming the Founder and CEO of Rework Work - a company that does DEI differently on their mission to reduce bias in global talent acquisition and management and creating workplace cultures where employees feel they belong.  She touches on the power of mentors and dives into the frameworks she uses to help companies become better at creating an inclusive environment, relearn how to hire with intention, and realize the importance of flexibility in work.   Stacey Gordon ReworkWork.com Booking on Being UnBias Unconscious Inclusion  

What does it take to be on the Forbes “100 Most Powerful Women in the World” list?  In this episode, we’re sitting down with Padmasree Warrior as she shares her experience of being an executive in technology and her journey of becoming a renowned businesswoman.  Formerly holding roles in the C-suite at Cisco Systems, Motorola, and NIO USA, she took her corporate experience and decided to follow her passion - motivated to find a way to apply data and machine learning to focus on mental wellness.  This led her to her current role as Founder and CEO of Fable, a social and AI discovery platform for content.  She shares her perspective on the commonalities of being in corporate versus leading a start-up - and her approach to leading teams and building trust.  Padma expresses the beauty of not putting yourself in a box and starting a business at a later age by utilizing experience and learnings to your advantage to build something beautiful to share with the world.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/padmasree-warrior-9917a26b https://fable.co/
