9. A Conversation With Strava Chief People Officer Michele Bousquet
<p>Get a glimpse into the culture at <a href="https://www.strava.com">Strava</a>, the world's leading social platform for athletes, from its Chief People Officer, <strong>Michele Bousquet</strong>. From baking antiracism into recruiting practices to giving employees maximum flexibility, Strava is a company that is embarking on its own transformation in response to a period of rapid change in the world of work.</p> <p>Michele uses her eventful first year at Strava as well as her 20-year career in leading people to reflect on several topics, including:</p> <p><strong>In-person to remote</strong> Strava has moved from being an in-person organization to a place where employees can choose whether they want to work fully remote, in the office, or anywhere in between: "Whatever works for you is how we want you to work."</p> <p><strong>Anti-racist recruiting</strong> Strava's <a href="https://www.strava.com/we-must-do-better">anti-racism commitment</a> starts from the job description: "This is not something you can opt in or out of...you have to be willing to interrogate your behaviors...We invite you to opt out of it if it is not landing for you."</p> <p><strong>Future of progressive organizations</strong> Companies that don't speak out on social issues will suffer from a "dinosaur vibe" 10 years from now.</p> <p><strong>Team building wisdom</strong> "The better you know the people you have the more you’ll know who you need."</p> <p>A special shoutout to Strava's Head of Talent Camille Tate, co-host of The Career Salon with the HR Twins podcast, which gets a mention in the episode!</p>

7. Perspective Taking with Elizabeth Johnson of the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative
<p>In this episode, we dive into the neuroscience of <strong>perspective taking</strong> -- sort of like empathy, but not quite. I spoke with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-johnson-ph-d-a3160932/"><strong>Zab Johnson</strong></a> of the Wharton School about how intentional perspective taking can lead to more innovative and more successful teams, and how you can tap into the neuroscience yourself with some easy exercises.</p> <p>Elizabeth (Zab) Johnson is the executive director and senior fellow of the <a href="https://neuro.wharton.upenn.edu"><strong>Wharton Neuroscience Initiative</strong></a>. Her research focuses on vision and visual behavior, spanning physiological approaches in the retina and early visual cortex to using eye tracking to investigate how human observers look, how these processes unfold over time and with experience, and the role of visually-guided social cognition and decision-making. As an expert on color vision, she has collaborated with Lenovo to develop computer and tablet screens with features that provide a more personalized color experience. Before coming to Penn in 2016, she spent 14 years at Duke University, where she was on the faculty in the Neurobiology Department and served as the Associate Director of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. Zab has a long-time interest in how our perception of visual art informs how we see.</p>
