Move Fast. Break Shit. Burn Out.

This isn’t a typical changemaking podcast because it’s not for a typical changemaker. It’s for the innovators who can’t stop taking in information, connecting dots, and changing the world. If that sounds familiar, you aren’t broken, difficult, or an incurable workaholic. You’re a Catalyst, and authors Tracey Lovejoy and Shannon Lucas believe that means you’re a rock star. In this podcast series they are having extended discussions on how to use that information to grow and thrive, with Catalysts that are profiled in their book Move Fast. Break Shit. Burn Out.

    Stephen Kelner, President & Tiffany West, Head of Programming at Ascent Leadership Networks – Aligning Motivations to Drive Change

    In this episode we had the great fun of having two amazing guests, Stephen Kelner, President & Tiffany West, Head of Programming at Ascent Leadership Networks. Collectively they bring decades of experience working with some of the world’s largest organizations to drive change. As we discussed the challenges Catalyst leaders face, they shared two great insights into how aligning motivations can unlock transformation. To help reduce resistance to change, we need to align to the motivations and wins of the key stakeholders we need to bring along on the journey. To help maintain our own energy throughout the ups and downs of leading change, we need to continually check-in to make sure our personal motivations are aligned with the change capacity and capabilities of the organization. They shared the concept of zooming in on the daily activities that can give us energy as we get stuff done and have that sense of accomplishment with zooming out to evaluate if we are still aligned to the type, breadth and vision of change we’re being invited to create. Tiffany also shared two of her favorite Catalysts that have inspired her in different ways during her years at the World Economic Forum: Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever for the work he did mainstreaming sustainability into the Fortune 100 world and Beth Comstock, former CMO at GE, for her work leading change by flexing outside-in and inside-out innovation. We couldn’t agree more! Original music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lynz Floren⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Meghann Brock, Director of Innovation for The Permanente Medical Group Northern California: Navigating Organizational Speed Limits

    In this episode, Meghann Brock, Director of Innovation for The Permanente Medical Group Northern California region, shares her insights on how to match catalytic speed to what she calls “the organizational speed limits.” Our desire as Catalysts to move quickly and get things done at speed can feel good at first, but she points out, as we leave people behind in our desire to move quickly, it will actually take us longer to get to the finish line. This can be particularly true in heavily regulated industries. But if you arrive at the finish line alone, you’ve lost. Meghann describes several key steps we need to take to make sure we’re moving at a velocity the organization can handle including: paying attention to the different stakeholder groups you need to engage, sensing when the timing is right for your vision, the power of storytelling that must include stories of customers that illustrate the power and impact of your vision, and being able to manage this emotional load by creating intentional breaks in your day, even if it’s just a few minutes between meetings.

    In this episode, Andre Christian, founder of Evoke IQ and former VP of Innovation and Product Design at SES Satellites, shares his journey of discovering his unique value as a Catalyst and how it has shaped his leadership approach. Andre begins by discussing the realization of his unique skills. Throughout his career, he often felt like a "jack of all trades, master of none," until he connected with the Catalyst community. This experience helped him understand that his ability to anticipate change, think ahead, and drive transformation was not only rare but highly valuable. Finding his tribe of like-minded Catalysts made him feel "forever employable," as he finally recognized and embraced his true worth. Andre then delves into how a Catalyst must lead with empathy, have support, and identify the right environment. He emphasizes the importance of understanding where an organization is in its readiness for change and leading with questions rather than a hard sell. Strong support from senior leadership is crucial for a Catalyst's success, as it provides the confidence needed to push forward with innovative ideas. Andre also highlights the necessity of finding an organization that is genuinely open to transformation, ensuring that the Catalyst's efforts will be supported and valued.

    Patrick Vanbrabandt, CEO of Carya Group - From Tech Nerd to People Observer to Successful CEO: Patrick Vanbrabandt on Leading Transformation

    In our conversation with Patrick Vanbrabandt, CEO of the Carya Group, he shares his journey from a self-described "extreme nerd" to a leader deeply focused on understanding and empowering people. Patrick reflects on his early passion for technology and how it evolved into a fascination with how people work together and achieve success. This shift in focus led him to realize that technology should serve people, not the other way around. Over time, this perspective became central to his leadership style. He discusses the importance of responsibility and autonomy in driving innovation. Patrick explains how the Catalyst Program within his company has empowered employees by giving them the freedom to pursue their ideas with minimal oversight. This autonomy, coupled with a strong sense of responsibility, has significantly contributed to the company's growth and success. Patrick also touches on the delicate balance of steering transformation while minimizing disruption. He emphasizes the power of vision and consistency, noting that while it's crucial to stay the course, it's equally important not to pivot too quickly. Instead, he advocates breadcrumbing—bringing people along with change over time. This approach ensures that people are on board and reduces resistance to change. Patrick's insights offer valuable lessons on how leaders can successfully navigate the complexities of organizational transformation by focusing on people, maintaining a clear vision, and empowering their teams.
