Uncover the Human

This week we changed things up a bit and decided to go through Values Discovery activities with one of our favorite returning guests, Laurie McElroy.  This is a two-part episode, where we ask Laurie to share times in her personal and work life when she felt most alive and energized.   We then proceeded to discern the common themes from her stories to help discover what really matters to her - her values.   We ended this first part by defining her top values with a few words.  Tune in next week for part 2, when we summarize and validate her top core values and talk about how to put them into action every day. 

This week we shared a particularly vulnerable conversation with Taylor Fraser, the writer, producer, and director of the Foreward Podcast - a narrative exploration of her family's true experience surviving a school shooting and aftermath in the years since. Exploring healing from trauma through the power of sharing experiences, Taylor has been able to connect her community and others who have similar stories, and she shares the power of telling unspoken stories.   You can find more information on the Foreward podcast at https://www.forewardpodcast.com/.

Sam Moore joins this week to explain his business philosophy and inspiring journey of creating Hazlo, his tequila mixer company. Sam illuminates his own journey in entrepreneurship with vulnerability and honesty, discussing the heavy influence of companies he admires like La Colombe and Chobani, and how he realized the power of treating his business like a person to be created rather than a product to be manufactured.

Respect is both a noun and a verb. It is something we experience and a way we treat people (including ourselves). Entailing acknowledgement, appreciation, acceptance, and everything in between, respect is a basic human right. This week Duncan McLachlan joins from Paris to share how we can create and foster respect and makes a convincing case for adding respect as a core personal value, all fueled by his work in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.  Episode notes and bio can be found at uncoverthehuman.wearesiamo.com
