This week, we're joined by the brilliant Dorothy Chang — executive coach, DEI designer, and advisor to organizations like Amazon, Stanford, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Together, we dive deep into what it means to live and lead intentionally, the hidden structures shaping our workplaces, and why making conscious choices is so challenging (and so necessary).
We explore:
- Why most of our decisions happen unconsciously — and how to change that.
- How intentional leaders think differently about problem-solving and decision-making.
- The power of the "even-over" framework for making aligned choices.
- What authenticity really looks like in the workplace (hint: it's more complicated than "just be yourself").
- How individuals and organizations can better align actions with values.
Dorothy also shares a practical thought exercise you can use today to reflect on how well your current life matches your intentions. Trust us: you’ll be thinking about this conversation long after it ends.
