S1 E9: DEATH BY POWERPOINT: Storytelling is the Next Great Leadership Capability
"Leaders who can’t tell a story cannot move people. Storytelling isn’t a charismatic 'add-on'; it’s a required leadership capability." S1 E9 of Brave Proximity unearths why our reliance on 80-page slide decks is killing inspiration and change initiatives. We’re moving from 'telling' to 'inspiring'—from bullet points to human connection.
S1 E5: Calling It Transformation Doesn’t Make It Humane: The Truth About Layoffs
Tired of corporate theater? If the only thing that changed is who is gone, it wasn't a 'transformation'—it was a layoff. In this episode, Susan and Marissa unearth the high cost of mislabeling mass layoffs and why 'corporate spin' is eroding the very trust leaders need to survive. It’s time to stop performing the restructuring and start leading the humans left behind.
