It is the first week of 2021. Many of us were excited about leaving 2020 and all its challenges behind. We were energized by the thought of a new year with new opportunities and new hope for the future fueled by the promise of a vaccine and the beginning of the end of the pandemic.

Ever wondered why she is green and why is she so wicked?
Biases can be very powerful. They are based upon fear, fear of the different and unusual, and our need to simplify the world.
Working globally requires intercultural intelligence and a curiously to understand others. To develop cultural intelligence we need to minimize or reduce the power of biases and stereotypes. How can we do that?
First, recognize your biases. Describe them. Be honest. Only then can you challenge them.

December 18, 2020 The power of the stories we tell. Moving from failures to success.
What life and career story are you telling? Is it one about failures & regret, or choices and growth? Your story matters. It shapes our perception of who we are and what we can do. Is your internal narrative one of strength, or excessively self critical? The first one will help you grow, the second one will hold you back.
Note: This is the first episode in my new podcast - Living and Leading Well with Kat. The audio is from a Vlog I recorded on September 4, 2020 therefore it is not so crisp.
