This week's episode is with Kathy Knichel, someone I met while on my military orders who has a wealth of leadership experience from her time leading the protocol program at  Charleston Air Force Base.  I loved talking with her from the first moment I met her and knew I had to have her on the show.

18 May 202136. The Power of Truth, Justice and Purpose as a Leader with Ron Carucci00:47:00

In this week's episode, I sit down with Ron Carucci, Managing Partner at Navalent, to talk about his new book, To Be Honest: The Power of Truth, Justice and Purpose.  We talk in-depth about the conditions in which people will tell the truth, be fair, serve a greater good, and in what conditions do organizations create an environment where people will lie steal and cheat.  It was an interesting conversation about how leaders really impact the environments at work and what factors are important when trying to create a more honest environment.

Ron has a 30-year track record of helping organizations adopt strategies that lead to accelerated growth, and designing programs to execute those strategies. He is also a two-time TED speaker and the best-selling author of eight books, including the recent Amazon #1 Rising to Power.

28 Jan 20204. Make it Happen by Floyd Greco00:09:19

Several months ago, I found a stack of my grandfather’s notes and speeches my dad gave me. My grandfather, Floyd Greco, worked his way up from being an hourly worker to a senior executive at ALCOA and he was extremely passionate about leadership, encouraging everyone to “Make it Happen” Although he passed away in 1996, his legacy continues among his kids and grandkids with how he motivated others.  This speech, read by my dad, Chris Greco, is one he wrote based on his “Make it Happen” methodology. When I thought about adding it to the show, my dad said it would have been a dream come true to hear his work shared with the world. So here it is world, go “Make It Happen.”

28 Jul 202018: “Yes and” with Emily Zawisza01:00:01

In this week's episode, I sit down with the super funny Emily Zawisza, and we talk about her journey into the improv world, her work at Four Day Weekend, and how to use improv’s method of “yes and” in your work and day to day life. 

 

After college, Emily enrolled in the Four Day Weekend Theater’s improv training center and was immediately hooked. This motivated her to move to Chicago to continue her improv comedy education, where she was accepted into and graduated from the world-famous Second City Conservatory, as well as the iO Training Center. While nights were spent performing with various improv troupes, she built a career on the intersection of comedy and business. From her jobs at Groupon, The Onion, The Second City, and Slate Magazine, the common thread has been how humor and intelligent wit can be powerful tools in communication and business. Now working back at Four Day Weekend, where it all started, she can be found collaborating with Fortune 500 companies to create engaging content and train employees with improvisational techniques.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking for techniques and exercises to build trust and communication in the workplace or for anyone who needs a laugh or two.
