  • Work-Life Integration

    What does work-life integration mean to you? Is it being on a work call while emptying the dishwasher? Putting your toddler in front of a Disney movie while you attend a zoom meeting? Instead of work-life balance, which pits our career against our personal lives, work-life integration takes the various threads of our lives to bolster and reinforce each other. Working with the same set of values, towards the same goal, it requires our clarity of purpose, clarity of our values, our crucibles, and then we pull together all the facets of our lives in service of this overarching purpose. Join Kedren Crosby and her guest, the talented, whole-life enthusiast, Dr. Erica McCray from the University of Florida.

  • Mom Guilt

    One of our dearest clients wrote in an email, “I have this feeling like there isn’t enough of me as a mama, wife, daughter, sister, friend, employee, community member. Not enough time, not enough for all the needs. It feels like a scarcity mindset that is difficult to break out of.” When sociologist Caitlyn Collins interviewed working women in the U.S. she heard a similar refrain. In this episode of The Behaviorist, join Sarah as she interviews Ashlinn, Vanessa, and Carm to discuss the perils of Mom Guilt, the important ways we can more fully understand it as a mindset and concrete behaviors to address it.

  • Talent Density
    In 2001, Netflix was hit hard by the first internet bubble bursting.  They were forced to lay off a third of their team.  They were exceptionally intentional about how they navigated that difficult period and stumbled upon a principle that has served them extraordinarily well for the past two decades: Talent Density.  
     
    High concentrations of (nothing but) stunning employees are the foundation for creative, trusting, fast, powerful, and smart organizations.  Couple Talent Density with candor and streamlined processes and you have a recipe for joy and profitability: our favorite combination at Work Wisdom.  However, it is not an easy journey to achieving High Talent Density.  Join Kedren, Vanessa, and Mike McKenna, CEO of Tenfold, as they explore and expand upon this simple, elegant, but not easy practice of winning cultures.
