   Belle Walker - AI Integration Changing Business DNA - Episode 163

   Successful AI integration is like setting CRISPR loose on the DNA of your organization. AI will collapse the distance between strategy and execution and orgs that fail to appropriately rewire decision rights and talent models will pay for speed with brittleness. It’s time to dig deep into the building blocks of your organization’s structure, define the future (including metrics) you want to see, and chart your course to make the changes you never knew were possible. Belle Walker (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bellekwalker/) takes organizations from Friction to Function®, recapturing lost efficiency and engagement. Bestselling author of Generation Innovation and TEDx speaker, Belle has built successful operations for multi-billion dollar companies Google and HERE. Her approach takes an engineer’s perspective, leveraging her degrees from Harvard and the University of Southern California. We invite leaders from all backgrounds to come prepared to challenge assumptions, ask tough questions, and leave with actionable insights to shape a more inclusive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and expand your leadership practice. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://percipiocompany.com/inclusive-leadership-in-a-virtual-world/)⁠⁠⁠⁠ each Wednesday, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

   Angela Dunz - What You Don't Want to Know About LinkedIn - Episode 162

   Our individual networks don’t necessarily reflect the demographic shifts around us. Much of our networking now, is done virtually. Each generation has a completely different way of expressing themselves and interacting with Social Media. Did you know that 60% of the LinkedIn membership globally is age 25 – 34? Angela will walk us through some of the generational differences in values and context and give us ideas to remain relevant with our messaging in an ever-changing landscape. Angela (https://www.linkedin.com/in/angeladunz/)calls herself The “Accidental Entrepreneur,” having moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with her shiny new MBA and dreams of being a CMO. Instead, she started her own business. Angela works with Attorneys sharing her expertise in Business Development, Professional Branding, Content Strategy, Video, and Thought Leadership on LinkedIn. Without a website, she built her entire vibrant business using free LinkedIn! She is a former Rock Climbing Guide and lives in Marin, where the hiking and the weather are fabulous. Being from Wisconsin, she is a devoted Packer Fan and shareholder. 💚💛 We invite leaders from all backgrounds to come prepared to challenge assumptions, ask tough questions, and leave with actionable insights to shape a more inclusive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and expand your leadership practice. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://percipiocompany.com/inclusive-leadership-in-a-virtual-world/)⁠⁠⁠⁠ each Wednesday, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

   Gloria Cotton - Validation: Permission to Be, See and Love Your Authentic Self - Episode 161

   Discover the transformative power of validation in the workplace. In this interactive session, participants will explore what it truly means to validate others—and themselves—through seven essential behaviors: seeing, hearing, acknowledging, welcoming, honoring, understanding, and supporting. Learn how validation affirms another persons right to their experience, feelings, and perspective without requiring agreement, creating space for authentic connection and collaboration. Through guided reflection and breakthrough discussions, participants will examine real experiences of feeling validated during challenging work relationships and uncover the profound impact validation has on trust, performance, and organizational culture. Walk away with practical strategies to create environments where everyone has permission to show up authentically, fostering stronger relationships and more effective teams. This session is ideal for leaders, teams, and anyone committed to building more inclusive and psychologically safe workplaces. Gloria (Glo) Cotton (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gloria-cotton-040682104/) is an organizational development consultant, keynote speaker, and facilitator who helps people fall in love with themselves so they can be and do their best. With over 30 years partnering with corporate, nonprofit, and government organizations, she brings what clients call & quote 'grandmother' energy meets boardroom excellence, bold, warm, practical, and unapologetically real. Gloria creates interactive learning experiences where C-suite leaders, teams, and professionals in transition discover their treasure instead of hunting for problems, navigating challenges with straight talk, respectful curiosity, and surprising joy. Her work begins with affirming the inherent value of human beings and ends with practical, SMART goals that stick. Whether facilitating truth-telling conversations about bias, building high-performance teams across diverse geographies, or helping leaders be authentic in a world of fakery, Gloria distinguishes between humanity (what we do) and humanness (who we are)—celebrating the second to secure excellence in the first. A published author, vocal performing artist, and community leader with a B.S. in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago, she promises transformation, measurable results, and if you would like—there is always a hug in your future, if you want one. We invite leaders from all backgrounds to come prepared to challenge assumptions, ask tough questions, and leave with actionable insights to shape a more inclusive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and expand your leadership practice. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://percipiocompany.com/inclusive-leadership-in-a-virtual-world/)⁠⁠⁠⁠ each Wednesday, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

[…] Why not? So, what does it mean to validate? Because I love to, let's all get on the same page. Well, somebody, please read these words. I want to crack your mic, somebody, and read what is this definition of validate? Somebody, do it for me, please. Today, don't let it take all day. I will affirm another person's right to their experience. Feelings, beliefs, or perspectives, or perspective. Even when different from our own without requiring you to agree or adopt it as your own. You see someone, ooh, thank you, who was that? What's your name? It was Mary. I'm Mary. Thank you very much as a hug in your future if you want one. […]
