We’re all familiar with the concept that taking great risks can result in great rewards but shifting our mindset and perspective to actually take those huge leaps can be difficult.

December 27, 2019 10:00 - 49 minutes - 46 MB

Too often, we get caught in looking at where we are and trying to work forward, which results in quite a bit of incremental improvement.

People often sabotage or hinder their creativity, and it has a lot to do with how they define creativity and approach it.

November 22, 2019 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50.7 MB

Most of us have a sense that if we’re really brilliant at our job, we’ll eventually get promoted to a leadership role, but something we often don’t realize is that doing and leading are two different things.

November 12, 2019 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MB
