What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

Tiffani Bova

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast. I've met so many brilliant people as I traveled the globe and have had some fascinating conversations that I've wished had been recorded so I could share them with you - this podcast was a way for me to recreate those moments and let you in on some fantastic insights. My current conversations center around one objective: what's next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. I hope these conversations inspire you as much as they have inspired me. Whether I am preparing for a keynote speech or writing for publications such as Harvard Business Review and Huffington Post, these are my go-to people. My goal with the What's Next! podcast is to keep you thinking and to challenge you to think about What's Next!

    How Introverts Build Powerful Brands with Goldie Chan

    Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm joined by Goldie Chan, who has been called the Oprah of LinkedIn. When LinkedIn first launched its native video, Goldie began posting daily short videos and has built one of the platform's longest-running video series. Goldie's videos feature a mix of personal branding and storytelling, thoughtful advice and generous spotlights on others. She's a storyteller, strategist, and a generous voice in the creator community. And now she's helping a whole new audience with her latest book, Personal Branding for Introverts, which comes out in October 2025. We're diving into how you can build influence quietly, confidently, on your own terms.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone looking to grow their influence or build a personal brand, especially if you identify as an introvert or ambivert.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…you don't have to be the loudest voice in the room to have influence. Goldie Chan built a thriving community and career by showing that consistency, curiosity, and authenticity can be more powerful than volume. In this conversation, she shares how introverts can thrive in spaces that often reward extroversion.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: The real secret to personal branding isn't noise, it's consistency and credibility. Influence doesn't require extroversion, but it does require self-awareness and clarity. Strategic silence can be a leader's superpower in meetings and creative discussions. Confidence often starts with physical presence. Goldie shares some practical tips.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Goldie's reminder that credibility doesn't come from being everywhere. It comes from being yourself consistently. Her story demonstrates that authenticity and quiet confidence can be just as powerful as a bold approach.   Running Time: 27:53   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Goldie Online: LinkedIn Website   Goldie's Book:  Personal Branding for Introverts

    How to Be Bold with Ranjay Gulati

    Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm honored to have a fellow Thinker50 on the show with me. Ranjay Gulati is a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. His pioneering work focuses on unlocking organizational and individual potential, embracing courage, nurturing purpose-driven leaders, driving growth, and transforming businesses. He is a management scholar and he holds a PhD from Harvard University and a Master's degree from MIT. He is the author of Deep Purpose, which was published in 2022. And now he has a new book out called How to Be Bold.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone who wants to live and lead with more courage, even in the presence of fear.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…have you ever wondered why some people seem naturally fearless while others freeze up in the face of uncertainty? Believe it or not, courage isn't something you're born with. It's something anybody can learn. In this episode, Ranjay draws on research and stories from his new book to share practical ways anyone can build support systems that strengthen courage and reframe fear as a signal for growth, not retreat.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Fear comes from uncertainty and a loss of control, which is a very normal, human feeling. You can "act your way into knowing" by taking small, deliberate steps forward. Support networks (moral, emotional, and informational) help you move through fear. The key to courage is purpose. It gives fear direction and meaning.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Ranjay's reminder that courage is a decision and not a personality trait. You don't have to wait to "feel ready" before taking action. The act of moving forward, even one small step at a time, is what builds boldness.   Running Time: 29:41   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Ranjay Online: LinkedIn Website   Ranjay's Book: How to Be Bold

    Unlocking Your True Direction with Robert Glazer

    Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm joined by Robert Glazer. Robert is a #1 Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and the founder of Acceleration Partners, a $50M global partner marketing agency known for its award-winning culture. He is also the creator of Friday Forward, a weekly inspirational newsletter read by over 200,000 professionals in 60+ countries. And he has a new book out called The Compass Within.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…leaders, founders, and professionals who want to align their decisions with their core values and lead with greater clarity and authenticity.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…in fast-moving and uncertain times, it's easy to get pulled in different directions. Robert Glazer believes the antidote is grounding yourself in your values. Your "compass within" not only guides your personal and professional choices but also determines how you lead, build trust, and shape culture. By knowing what truly drives you, you'll make better decisions, connect more deeply with others, and avoid environments that drain your energy.   KEY TAKEAWAYS… Your values act as a blueprint for better decisions at work and in life. Leaders unconsciously lead from their values—knowing them makes you more effective. High-performing teams thrive when individuals share and honor their core values. Self-awareness is the foundation for authentic leadership and sustainable growth.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Robert's reminder that many of us only realize our values when they're crossed—what he calls the "electric fence test." By identifying them earlier, we can make intentional choices that help us thrive instead of simply reacting when something feels wrong.   Running Time: 24:25   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Robert Online: LinkedIn Website   Robert's Book: The Compass Within: A Little Story About the Values That Guide Us   The Six Core Values Questions

    RELOAD: Reconnecting to the Higher Purpose of Marketing with Raj Sisodia

    Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.     This week, I'm reflecting on a conversation I had a while back with the delightful and purpose-driven Raj Sisodia. Raj is the FW Olin Distinguished Professor of Global Business and Whole Foods Market Research Scholar in Conscious Capitalism at Babson College, and Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Conscious Capitalism Inc. He has a Ph. D. in Marketing from Columbia University and has published eleven books. He was named one of "Ten Outstanding Trailblazers of 2010" by Good Business International, and one of the "Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior" by Trust Across America for 2010 and 2011. He is on the Board of Directors at The Container Store and a trustee of Conscious Capitalism Inc.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…people searching for their personal purpose in the work they do each day.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…in this episode, Raj uncovers the unmet need for conscious capitalism in contemporary business. We discuss ethics in business and marketing, purpose, value, and true happiness. This is not something mutually exclusive from business and capitalism, but the way Raj explains it, something that is vitally a part of the business ecosystem and indispensable to building a worthwhile and successful brand.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Raj's journey from marketing to uncovering a true passion that seeks to make business more conscientious, impactful and valuable to society.   Running time: 30:08   Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X   Find Raj Online: LinkedIn Website   Raj's Books: The Healing Organization Conscious Capitalism Field Guide Firms of Endearment Everybody Matters

    Well-Being as a Leadership Strategy with Mark Crowley

    Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm joined by Mark Crowley. Mark is a best-selling author with 25 years in the competitive financial services industry. He rose to national roles, earning Leader of the Year for his emotionally connected, heart-and-mind balanced approach that drove exceptional performance and employee growth. His book, Lead from the Heart, which I love and highly recommend, disrupted conventional management with research proving that traditional methods undermine employee experience. Now taught in 11 universities, it ignited a global movement for humane leadership. In his latest book, The Power of Employee Wellbeing, he advances this vision even further.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…leaders, managers, and executives who want to unlock better performance by focusing on employee well-being.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…too many organizations still approach leadership as a numbers game, chasing productivity with surveys, perks, or technology. Mark Crowley challenges that thinking, showing why true performance stems from how people feel at work. When leaders prioritize well-being—through connection, trust, and emotional awareness—they create teams that are not only more engaged but also more productive.    KEY TAKEAWAYS: Traditional engagement surveys are outdated. Pulse surveys give faster, more actionable insights. Managers must create space for genuine human connection, especially in hybrid or remote teams. Accountability matters, and leaders who ignore feedback are unlikely to receive it again.    WHAT I LOVE MOST…Mark reframes leadership around a simple but overlooked truth: people's feelings fuel their performance. I love his reminder that when leaders invest in genuine care and connection, they unlock a new depth of commitment and energy.   Running Time: 26:27   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Mark Online: LinkedIn Website   Mark's Book:  The Power of Employee Well-Being: Move Beyond Engagement to Build Flourishing Teams

Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire. As an internationally recognized leadership and team performance expert, she advises leaders and teams at over a dozen Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 companies. She has a new book out called The Emotionally Intelligent Team.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anybody who wants to unlock stronger collaboration, cohesion, and performance in their organizations by building emotionally intelligent teams.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…teams don't thrive just because the right people are in the room. They thrive when leaders create the conditions for connection, trust, and continuous improvement. In this conversation, Vanessa Druskat shares what decades of research reveal about emotionally intelligent teams and discusses how to transform a group of individuals into a high-performing, collaborative team.    KEY TAKEAWAYS… Teams perform better when leaders address core emotional needs like belonging and recognition. High-performing teams take time to really know one another, beyond just titles and roles. Every voice matters and innovation often comes from unexpected perspectives. Leaders don't need to have all the answers but they do need to ask the right questions and listen.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Vanessa's reminder that emotionally intelligent teams aren't just "nicer" to work in, they're more effective. Taking time to build connection and belonging is a performance multiplier.   Running Time: 30:57   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Vanessa Online: LinkedIn Website   Vanessa's Book: The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest
