Listen Later

We’re all constantly being bombarded with breaking news about the most sensitive topics - and almost nothing seems to be off-limits anymore, even in the workplace. Add to that sensational, over-the-top media coverage and it can be hard to think straight - but it isn't impossible.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes back Kris Lance, Vice President and General Manager at Una, for a monthly conversation about current news stories. Kris has experience in multiple industries and has his finger on the pulse of the trends and topics that procurement, sourcing, and supply chain professionals need to be aware of.

In this month’s discussion, Kris and Kelly talk about techniques for thinking through a never-ending stream of complex topics: 

  • What factors influence the way we respond to new information and form opinions about it
  • How to prepare for a conversation on a sensitive topic that is likely to start with disagreement
  • Preventing passion-driven topics from dividing each of us from our friends and family
