In this episode I speak with Kara, an HR leader at an electronics distribution company, about how she is leading her team and herself during the COVID-19 crisis. We talk about setting boundaries to ensure you're putting on your own oxygen mask first, discovering that you excel at executing in a time of crisis, and approaching the work with a foundational belief that if you put people first, the business will follow.

In this episode I speak with Bob, a sales leader at a logistics technology organization, about how he is leading his team and himself during the COVID-19 crisis. We talk about the importance of finding purpose in the work you do through how it contributes to helping others in the current environment, the unexpected creativity that can surface when your team has to work and support customers differently, and a call to action to "Stay better." We also laugh a bit about non-creepy eye contact over video that would be creepy in an in-person meeting.

In this episode I speak with Loni, an HR leader at a technology organization, about how she is leading her team and herself during the COVID-19 crisis.

Loni also shares--with great vulnerability and honesty--how she's doing, and what she's doing, to take care of herself.
