Change is an unavoidable fact of life and we get to choose whether to accept or resist it.
Organizations that can leverage technological innovations while effectively managing workplace dynamics have a competitive advantage. It is equally important to have organizational leaders who are committed to building a culture where everyone feels supported, and employees’ initiative, uniqueness, and enthusiasm are appreciated.
Join us in Episode 305, with guest Deborah Westphal, a business leader, consultant, and author as she shares her perspectives on an evolving leadership approach that views employees as individuals who deserve respect, power, and trust. Questions like: “What IS a humanist and what does human-centric leadership look like?”, “Why should organizations become more human-centric?”, “What does the ‘race to space’ mean for the rest of us?” will be answered.
Listen in as Nikki and Deborah discuss how you can align your professional and your personal life, and the tools, tactics, and techniques that you can use to embrace new leadership roles, and how Deborah built her career through global travel and industry exploration.
Thriving Points:
- The core of humanity is hopes, dreams, fears, and concerns that people have no matter where you live, your culture, or your experiences.
- To be a humanist is to be an advocate for people and realize that because it’s an energy that can be tapped into so many different things.
- Growth is scary, any kind of new experience is scary, but what you rely on is, you know you’ve done this before.
