    Angela Dunz - What You Don't Want to Know About LinkedIn - Episode 162

    Our individual networks don’t necessarily reflect the demographic shifts around us. Much of our networking now, is done virtually. Each generation has a completely different way of expressing themselves and interacting with Social Media. Did you know that 60% of the LinkedIn membership globally is age 25 – 34? Angela will walk us through some of the generational differences in values and context and give us ideas to remain relevant with our messaging in an ever-changing landscape. Angela calls herself The “Accidental Entrepreneur,” having moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with her shiny new MBA and dreams of being a CMO. Instead, she started her own business. Angela works with Attorneys sharing her expertise in Business Development, Professional Branding, Content Strategy, Video, and Thought Leadership on LinkedIn. Without a website, she built her entire vibrant business using free LinkedIn! She is a former Rock Climbing Guide and lives in Marin, where the hiking and the weather are fabulous. Being from Wisconsin, she is a devoted Packer Fan and shareholder. 💚💛 We invite leaders from all backgrounds to come prepared to challenge assumptions, ask tough questions, and leave with actionable insights to shape a more inclusive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and expand your leadership practice. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ each Wednesday, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

    Gloria Cotton - Validation: Permission to Be, See and Love Your Authentic Self - Episode 161

    Discover the transformative power of validation in the workplace. In this interactive session, participants will explore what it truly means to validate others—and themselves—through seven essential behaviors: seeing, hearing, acknowledging, welcoming, honoring, understanding, and supporting. Learn how validation affirms another persons right to their experience, feelings, and perspective without requiring agreement, creating space for authentic connection and collaboration. Through guided reflection and breakthrough discussions, participants will examine real experiences of feeling validated during challenging work relationships and uncover the profound impact validation has on trust, performance, and organizational culture. Walk away with practical strategies to create environments where everyone has permission to show up authentically, fostering stronger relationships and more effective teams. This session is ideal for leaders, teams, and anyone committed to building more inclusive and psychologically safe workplaces. Gloria (Glo) Cotton is an organizational development consultant, keynote speaker, and facilitator who helps people fall in love with themselves so they can be and do their best. With over 30 years partnering with corporate, nonprofit, and government organizations, she brings what clients call & quote 'grandmother' energy meets boardroom excellence, bold, warm, practical, and unapologetically real. Gloria creates interactive learning experiences where C-suite leaders, teams, and professionals in transition discover their treasure instead of hunting for problems, navigating challenges with straight talk, respectful curiosity, and surprising joy. Her work begins with affirming the inherent value of human beings and ends with practical, SMART goals that stick. Whether facilitating truth-telling conversations about bias, building high-performance teams across diverse geographies, or helping leaders be authentic in a world of fakery, Gloria distinguishes between humanity (what we do) and humanness (who we are)—celebrating the second to secure excellence in the first. A published author, vocal performing artist, and community leader with a B.S. in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago, she promises transformation, measurable results, and if you would like—there is always a hug in your future, if you want one. We invite leaders from all backgrounds to come prepared to challenge assumptions, ask tough questions, and leave with actionable insights to shape a more inclusive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and expand your leadership practice. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ each Wednesday, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

    Matthew Cahill - Incisive Leadership: How Inclusion Must Evolve - Episode 157

    Inclusive leadership opens doors — but incisive leadership? That’s where we redesign the whole room. This week at Inclusive Leadership Weekly, we’re digging into how inclusion is evolving, why people are declaring “DEI is dead,” and what it really means to lead with both empathy and accountability. It’s not another talking-head webinar — it’s a real conversation about where leadership is headed next. This week, we'll discuss the evolution of inclusion, the "death" of DEI, and what it means to be an incisive leader. Matthew Cahill is the CEO of The Percipio Company and a Vistage Chair, guiding executives and organizations toward sharper thinking, stronger cultures, and sustainable results. His trademarked belief — If you have a brain, you have bias® — anchors his work, helping leaders identify the hidden, and sometimes not-so-hidden, biases that shape decision-making and impact performance. Through bias to belonging®, Matthew’s proprietary approach blends introspection with practical strategies to reduce mental mistakes, rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and increase productivity. As CEO, he meets businesses where they are, accurately identifying, analyzing, and addressing how biases of all types affect the bottom line. As a Vistage Chair, he facilitates confidential peer advisory groups for CEOs and executives, creating the space for candid conversations, better decisions, and stronger leadership. We invite leaders from all backgrounds to come prepared to challenge assumptions, ask tough questions, and leave with actionable insights to shape a more inclusive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and expand your leadership practice. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ each Wednesday, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
