December 3, 2025 • 41 mins

Episode 251 Dialed Up or Dialed In: the Case for Dials on Your Interactions with Others

November 12, 2025 • 40 mins
Humans have a natural tendency to go all or nothing: either fully engaged or completely checked out, either totally into fitness or eating an entire pizza in 45 seconds, either saving every penny or emptying the bank account. In this episode, we challenge that mindset by introducing the concept of levers versus dials. Levers are simple: on or off. But dials give you nuance, flexibility, and control. Dials are harder to manage.   We...

Those actions that fracture trust and c...

Episode 248 AI "Workslop"

October 22, 2025 • 33 mins
AI tools are everywhere now, but are we using them wisely? In this episode, we talk about the rise of “AI workslop,” the messy, impersonal output that can result when we rely too heavily on automation without human discernment. We explore why the human element still matters and how thoughtful use of AI can enhance, not replace, good work.   From the employee perspective, we discuss how AI can support productivity without sacrificin...

October 15, 2025 • 34 mins
Not all leadership roles are created equal, and that is by design. In this episode, we break down the distinct responsibilities of supervisors, managers, and executives.

Episode 239 Vanilla Ice Leadership

August 20, 2025 • 44 mins
In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, we riff on a classic line from Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby: “If you got a problem, yo, I’ll solve it.” While solving problems feels great for leaders, it can unintentionally rob employees of growth, ownership, and buy in.

Episode 236 Throwing out the Power Pendulum

July 30, 2025 • 35 mins
In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, we challenge the long standing idea of the workforce "pendulum" and the belief that power must swing between employers and employees. Recently, it seems the pendulum has swung back toward employers, with fewer perks, shorter breaks, and tighter policies. But at People Centric, we believe this back and forth power dynamic is flawed. When power rests solely with employers, it often lea...
