Here’s a question. Can you hear yourself think? This week’s guest is DeEtta Jones. She’s the founder of one of the world’s leading EDI training and strategy consultancies. She’s seen leadership and leaders through many lenses. And she’s learned that the best of them are not necessarily the ones making the most noise. Leadership is changing in real time.

Here’s a question. Are you taking care of yourself? This week’s guest is Nancy Hill. She’s the CEO of Marcus Thomas, and the former CEO of the 4As. She was named by Advertising Age as one of the ‘100 Most Influential Women in Advertising History’. Nancy recently wrote an article for AdAge. The link is in the show notes for this episode. In the piece, she describes discovering that she was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Leadership is lonely. I’m hoping that we can change that over the coming months and years but for now, it’s a truth. Have a plan, know the answers, don’t show we ..read more

Here’s a question. What triggers you? This week’s guest is Kate Rouch. She’s the Chief Marketing Officer at Coinbase. October was Mental Health Month. But the truth is, every month should be. And when you’re the leader, every month is. Leadership, at its best, is a selfless act. A desire to help others reach a future that is better than the present. Many, many things can get in the way. Most of them we know about before we start. A few others show up along the way. But the one that we all carry with us, often unrecognized or worse, ignored, is our mental health. We focus on the challenges and ..read more
