Join host Nicholas Whitaker and Beck Sydow, Founder & Leadership Coach at HumanKind Business Leaders as they discuss connection in the workplace and the importance of quality feedback. 

Beck shares insights into their journey from UPS management to becoming a leadership coach focusing on people-hearted, business-minded approaches, the importance of blending business advising with leadership coaching, and focusing on senior leaders in the SMB sector.

We also chat about the need for leaders to build confidence, embrace feedback, and look for the ways that business success and a healthy workplace culture are connected.

Beck believes we can do both, we don’t have to choose. And, this is represented in the tagline for HumanKind Business Leaders, People-Hearted & Business-Minded ™️
