Why a Podcast?
After my keynotes and workshops, audience members often asked how they could share the ideas and insights with their teams. That question sparked the creation of Working Conversations in early 2021.
The podcast now acts as a powerful reinforcement tool—what I like to call a “booster shot”—to extend the learning and momentum long after the event. With over 225 episodes, it’s highly shareable, endlessly relevant, and customizable. Many of my clients now receive curated episode playlists tailored to their team’s specific challenges and goals.
