In this final episode, Scott Peltin, TIGNUM’s Chief Catalyst, and Jogi Rippel, CEO at TIGNUM, share their key takeaways from four years of ThoughtCast interviews. They talk about their initial motivation to start this interview series and why they felt it was time to take it to the next level.

While the challenges in the world get ever more complex, people struggle to become the game-changers we need. Instead of consuming more one-way content, aspiring professionals need deeper, more participative conversations that offer pragmatic solutions from a human lens.

TIGNUM, therefore, started the B-LD KITCHEN, our proactive approach to navigating today's uncertainty and shaping the world.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." P. Drucker and A.Lincoln

TIGNUM designed a program to help female leaders and teams understand how hormonal fluctuations impact their performance and how they can harness the power of hormones to be their best throughout all life stages: The XX Factor.

Yet, adopting your performance strategies according to need and context should never mean letting them drop, no matter how turbulent the times. Why? If you are a paid thinker, like many of us are, you should never compromise on your own brain power.
