It’s not personal: a podcast about making work more human.
How do we onboard, engage, communicate, and lead in the 21st century of work?
A podcast that talks about technology, in person work as well as remote work, retention, and the power of connection.
In this episode, Ken and Seth dive deeply into the process of protecting culture by thinking not only of the people you're working with, but also about the various people who will be coming after. How are we making changes that will positively impact those who come next?
What does it take to protect the culture and build honest and open connections in your organization? You need to deal with the problems that are happening in this moment with an eye to what kind of organization you want moving forward. What does it take to look at a hard problem or a behavior that you don't like, and have the courage to face it head on?

Season 3, Episode 11: The Lonely Leader
In this episode, Ken and Seth talk about how being in a leadership role can feel isolating and lonely. It's important for leaders to understand how isolating leadership can feel at times. In many ways, nobody else in the organization can understand what it feels like to be in your shoes. All the ways that you might have connected with others before become limited when you are in charge.
In this podcast, Ken and Seth share their own experiences and thoughts on how leaders can deal with this loneliness and their feelings of disconnection in organizations. What do we do when we feel thwarted by others in the org? What do we do with the anger or the feelings of disappointment? How do we take risks and invite others to follow along? All of this takes a willingness to be with your own feelings and to know that being a leader requires you to be on your own sometimes.

Season 3, Episode 10: Self-doubt and Self-confidence
In this episode Ken and Seth talk about the tension between self-doubt and self-confidence in leadership. How do we work with that interplay of self-doubt and imposter syndrome and maintain the presence of a leader. We have to learn to trust ourselves and have confidence that we belong in this role and earned our right to be here.
It's unhelpful to doubt ourselves as leaders because all it does is create a corrosive environment for others. Doubt about our abilities is good, but doubt about our right to be here is not. Trust yourself, know yourself, and be willing to grow.
