“We all shape ourselves to meet our needs—whether for belonging, significance, or safety. But what happens when those patterns no longer serve us?”

In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession sits down with Lindsey Bingaman, Head of SureAcademy at SurePeople, to explore the power of self-awareness and people patterns in leadership and team dynamics. Lindsay shares how understanding our own patterns can help us grow, navigate change, and build better relationships—both at work and in life.

They talk about why emotional intelligence is the key differentiator between good and great leaders, how AI is revolutionizing team dynamics, and why the next generation of workers is demanding meaning, not just a paycheck.

• Why self-awareness is the foundation of leadership
