For two hundred years, the Industrial Revolution taught us to be cogs in a machine—to value efficiency over empathy and output over connection. But as AI begins to handle the 'busy work,' we are left with a deeper question: What is the human's role at work?

Today, we’re talking with Brittney Van Matre, the founder of Rewild, interviewed by our new Co-CEO, Abri Holden. Together, they are helping leaders move away from sterile transactions and back toward ancient traditions. From the practice of Council to understanding how our childhood attachment styles show up in the boardroom, we’re exploring how to build workplaces that aren't just productive, but are thriving human ecosystems.

How do we lead with resilience in a world of constant change?

In this episode, leadership and change management experts Brittney Van Matre and Monica Thakrar explore the keys to navigating uncertainty—from cultivating self-awareness and psychological safety to shifting mindsets and rebuilding trust.

Drawing from their work with organizations like Nike, KPMG, the USDA, and federal agencies, they share practical tools (like the ‘STOP’ practice and the stages of change) to help individuals and teams thrive in volatile times.

Whether you’re facing AI disruption, layoffs, or organizational shifts, this conversation offers a roadmap for empathetic, human-centered leadership.
