This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about our inner voices and the role they play in how we show up at work.   We all have that voice in our head. Sometimes it pushes us forward. Sometimes it holds us back. And sometimes it is hard to tell if we should listen to it or question it.   We explore what these inner voices sound like, where they come from, and how they can shape our decisions, confidence, and interactions wi...

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about the wrong lessons people take away from everyday work situations. We have all been there. You delegate something and it does not go the way you hoped, so you decide it is just easier to do it yourself next time. Or something goes wrong and instead of learning from it, we create a rule that actually limits growth moving forward. The problem is not the situation. It is the stor...

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we revisit something people consistently need from their leaders: stability, compassion, hope, and trust. These needs become even more important during times of stress, uncertainty, or panic.   We talk about how pressure can cause leaders to unintentionally drop one of these. Some leaders focus so much on stability that compassion disappears. Others lead with hope but forget to create trust ...

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about the power of celebrating, even when it feels like there is nothing to celebrate.   There are seasons at work when progress feels slow, goals feel far away, and morale can dip. In those moments, celebration can feel forced or even unnecessary. But we explore why small wins matter, why progress counts, and how celebration shifts energy on a team.   We talk about what celebration ...

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we revisit a topic we have talked about a lot: assigning intent. Starting from a neutral and curious mindset can prevent negative stories from taking over and it can help teams stay connected when things get messy.   But today we talk about maturing the concept, because we have also seen it weaponized. Sometimes people use good intent as a shield. Things like, I did not intend for that to ha...

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about de-escalation. With so much uncertainty right now, we are seeing more frustration at work and emotions sitting closer to the surface. When tension is high, small moments can turn into big reactions fast.

  We share a simple process for diffusing high emotion situations in a way that protects the relationship and helps people move forward together.   Our de-escalation process: ...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about boreout. We have all heard of burnout, when you are overwhelmed and overworked. But what happens when you are underworked, under challenged, or just not mentally engaged?   We break down what boreout can look like at work and how it often shows up in ways people do not expect. It can look like procrastination, low energy, feeling disconnected, or even feeling irritable and unmo...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about ownership in the context of manager feedback. Not all feedback is clear. Not all feedback is delivered well. And sometimes the situation is not even your fault. The question becomes what is your responsibility in that moment.   We explore the idea that you cannot change other people. You can only change how you respond and how you show up. Ownership does not mean taking the bla...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about community. Not where you live, but the basic human need to belong.

      We explore why community matters to people and why it plays such an important role at work. When people feel connected, supported, and seen, trust grows and work gets better. When community is missing, people feel isolated, disengaged, and less likely to speak up.   We talk about what community at work really ...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about the boss costume. The version of leadership that shows up when someone feels like they need to posture, perform, or play a role instead of being themselves.   We explore what happens when leaders put on the boss costume and how it affects trust, communication, and connection on a team. While it may feel protective in the moment, posturing often creates distance and makes it har...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about judging performance and why most of us are not very good at it. Not because we are careless, but because we often forget what we should actually be judging. We explore how performance conversations get off track when we do not look at job expectations, agreed upon goals, or real metrics. Instead, we rely on assumptions, opinions, or what we personally think someone should be d...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about what happens when a team gets out of sync and how to bring alignment back. Misalignment does not usually come from bad intentions. It comes from missed conversations, unclear priorities, and not having shared visibility into what is happening.   We break down why real alignment requires at least two people actively contributing to the conversation, not just one person talking. ...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about a powerful real world example of problem solving done well. A medical team brought in a Formula One pit crew to review their process, improve efficiency, and reduce errors. And it worked.   We break down why this story matters beyond healthcare. Great problem solving is not just about having the right answer. It starts with recognizing there is a problem and actually wanting to...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we focus on something we do not talk about enough at work: how to receive feedback well.

      We spend a lot of time teaching people how to give feedback, but receiving it can be just as hard. We talk about why feedback often feels uncomfortable, what happens when emotions take over, and why even well meant feedback can be tough to hear.   From the employee perspective, we explore how to stay o...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about taking stock before setting goals for 2026. Before you rush into new plans, it can help to pause and look at what is working, what is not, and what you are carrying that you do not need anymore.

    We lean into a simple idea: sometimes the best next step is not adding more. It is subtracting. Letting go of the goals, habits, meetings, projects, or expectations that are draining e...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about what it really means to be People Centric. We break down how to build workplaces that are healthier, happier, aligned, and empowered — not by adding more programs or slogans, but by understanding what people actually need and what organizations actually need.

    We look at the four things people want in order to thrive: purpose, community, autonomy, and development. Then we talk ...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about how to wrap up a strategic plan as the year winds down and how to move into next year with clarity and confidence. We look at real workplace questions like:
    • What happens when a goal changes
    • When it makes sense to adjust a goal
    • When you should keep pushing
    • And what to do if you made progress but did not finish
    We also talk about why celebrating wins along the way m...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we dig into problem solving and why people approach it so differently. Some of us love to brainstorm out loud. Some of us want to listen first. Some jump in fast. Others need time to think.   We talk about how leaders can develop their teams to either bring problems, bring solutions, or bring both in a healthy and useful way. Then we break down how our communication styles show up when we fa...

    This week on The People Centric Podcast, we’re talking about therapy. Not as therapists, but as people who believe it can benefit everyone. We explore why mental health isn’t just personal, it’s professional too.   From the employee perspective, we discuss what it means to show up for yourself and ask for support. From the manager’s view, we unpack how to create space for honest conversations and emotional safety. And from the exec...

    Humans have a natural tendency to go all or nothing: either fully engaged or completely checked out, either totally into fitness or eating an entire pizza in 45 seconds, either saving every penny or emptying the bank account. In this episode, we challenge that mindset by introducing the concept of levers versus dials. Levers are simple: on or off. But dials give you nuance, flexibility, and control. Dials are harder to manage.   We...
