Chris Hood of CH Digital: Lessons Learned from Google Culture


Listen Later

This week, Chris Hood of CH Digital and former Head of Digital Strategy at Google discusses the lessons he learned from the communication culture at Google, and how they can be implemented in any business.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How Google established a culture of ‘psychological safety’ and appreciation, and tips on how you can do the same for your company.
  • Why internal communication (or lack thereof!) and toxic communication culture may be the main culprit behind companies not being able to deliver on client projects
  • Insights into the Google interview process for consistently hiring candidates with the right ‘fit’ for your business

24 Hour Challenge:

Conduct a mock podcast interview! Find or have a friend or family member compose 5-10 questions, set up a recording device, and answer those questions on the fly! This will help you become more familiar with topics you WANT to be familiar with, and gives you practice in impromptu speaking.
