  • Episode 92: Techniques to Reduce Stress before it Becomes Chronic Stress Part Two

    Shlomit Tassa joins me to discuss how chronic stress is real and is causing leaders to have serious problems with their physical and mental health. She shares some great ideas about how to deal with stress so that it doesn't take over your life!

    Shlomit Tassa was a corporate manager with frequent flyer status and an expense account. It was fun and exciting at first. But over the years, with 3 kids and aging parents added to the mix, it became overwhelming and exhausting. Following her own burnout experience, Shlomit now coaches ambitious leaders on how to avoid or recover from overwhelm and chronic stress. Today she combines work, eye rolling teens, and being a primary caregiver, with yoga, museums and travel (preferably with friends!) It requires focus and intent, but it is no longer overwhelming. She'd love to help you do the same!

  • Episode 88: Understanding DEI and Colorism - Part Two

    Dr. Sarah L. Webb joins me to explore DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) along with Colorism. This is a fascinating conversation about some important aspects about how challenges are showing up in the workplace based off the socially constructed meanings of skin tones.

    In this second Part the interview with Dr. Webb, we discuss:

    • *How colorism is part of why we are not making more progress with racial justice and equity.
    • How recognizing the personal privileges and biases we all have helps us improve our relationships and our position in the social fabric.
    • Accepting that we are not individually responsible for racism and extending that compassion from ourselves to others.
    • And that while race is a social construct, skin tone is a biological fact with socially constructed meanings.

    • Dr. Sarah L. Webb is the founder of Colorism Healing, a global leader in raising awareness, shifting attitudes, and taking action to address colorism with corporate, consumer, and community strategies. You can find her at www.ColorismHealing.com.

    • Episode 84: Hack your Recruiting Biases with guest Robert Merrill - Part Three

      Join me and recruiting expert, Robert Merrill, as we delve into the hack the biases that we each bring into the recruiting process. We cover the following:

      • The dangers of hiring off of gut feelings
      • The Recruiter’s Manifesto and how the recruiting process works best when it is a beneficial partnership for the candidates, recruiters, and companies alike.
      • The need for compassion in the workplace
      • And recognizing and respecting the fact that taking on a job is one of the biggest decisions in a person's life.

      • Bio on Robert Merrill:
        Robert has been in the recruiting industry since 2005 and he is passionate about the value that good recruiting can bring to companies but especially people who deserve high paying and meaningful work.

        He founded ConnectedWell in 2018 with the mission to help companies solve not only hiring challenges, but improve their talent acquisition processes from A-Z, enabling companies to hire more efficiently, with less bias and more inclusion, as well as providing candidates with an excellent experience and onboarding to set them up for the highest success.

        Robert is passionate about what he calls "Hiring Made Human" which touches on the idea that we should never forget the person involved at each step of the recruiting process. The hiring manager, the interviewers, and the candidates are all humans with desires and dreams. In this world of tech and automation, we should never automate human connection. The more we can connect with and truly see each other in the process, Robert believes, we will naturally level up our talent acquisition abilities and be better off ourselves for it.
