I recently had the honor of sharing the stage with Chéla Gage, a Global HR Executive, speaking to HR leaders in Los Angeles about how to lead through chaos and make impactful decisions.
Spoiler alert: Brave leaders ask for advice, feedback, and insights—regardless of job titles (and egos).
In this podcast episode we discuss:
- How to inspire your team to problem solve (vs. going to you like Google)
- How to set boundaries and say no (cause it protects your team’s well-being -- and your own, too
- How to have those awkward, BUT necessary convos with colleagues even when you know they will take it personally.
If you’re a leader navigating the chaos and want to make better decisions (and keep your sanity), this episode is for you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
