She Knows the Way

What do you say when someone asks you to introduce yourself? If you’re anything like Kore Koubourlis, your answer is complicated and deeply personal. Our life experiences influence how we craft our identity and how it evolves over time. And sometimes, the person we become is endlessly surprising to us (and to our past selves). Kore and I talk about it all. And how we’re constantly redefining ourselves in the face of change. We even talk about how we secretly want to be witches. (Still.) Kore Koubourlis is a high-performance coach, talent expert, former Microsoft executive, and founder and...

She Knows the Way

You’ve probably heard the old saying – “Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” For years, conventional wisdom around that first part – finding a job you love – was to do  something with purpose and meaning to you. But as we re-evaluate how work is working in the wake of the pandemic, we wanted to ask a different question: What purpose does work serve in our lives? In other words, what do we want work to do for us? Adrian Granzella Larssen was the first managing  editor at The Muse, a website that helps people navigate their careers. So she’s...

How to Make Decisions Now show art How to Make Decisions Now

She Knows the Way

Making decisions still feels hard. Not the everyday decisions like do I want my coffee black or with milk (although sometimes even that sends Lara down a rabbit hole). The decisions we still struggle with are the ones that feel bigger. Like do I want to take on this project? Or do I want to move? In 2020, we heard a lot about “decision fatigue.” Our brains were tired because of the constant tiny decisions we had to make about safety. But after two years, shouldn't we be better at making choices after all that practice?  Kimberly Diggles says no. In this week's episode, Lara and...

Michaela Ayers (she/her), a social justice facilitator turned entrepreneur, is revolutionizing the way individuals, organizations, and communities think about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
