    294: Career Fulfillment at the Intersection of People, Technology and Information with David Charles

    In this episode of Work from the Inside Out, Tammy Gooler Loeb speaks with Dr. David Charles, educator, executive coach, and former industry leader whose career spans consulting, analytics, innovation, and academia. David shares how early influences in science and engineering led him into technology, and how a series of unexpected pivots shaped a career grounded in curiosity, learning, and growth. David reflects on key transitions, from consulting to corporate leadership roles at organizations like CVS Health and John Deere, and eventually into academia. Along the way, he explores how networking, continuous learning, and a willingness to step into the unknown opened doors he never anticipated. He also discusses the importance of understanding what you enjoy in your work, especially the value of seeing the real-world impact of your contributions. Today, as a faculty member and coach, David helps others navigate their own career journeys. He emphasizes the importance of staying curious, building meaningful connections, and being open to opportunities that may not initially seem like the obvious next step. His story is a powerful reminder that careers are rarely linear and that growth often comes from embracing what you do not yet know.

    293: Redefining Potential: From Performance to Purpose with Kate Kayaian

    In this episode of Work from the Inside Out, Tammy Gooler Loeb speaks with Kate Kayaian, a former professional cellist turned career strategist, author, and coach. Kate shares her journey from performing on world-class stages to making the bold decision to step away from a successful music career in her forties. What makes her story especially powerful is that nothing was “wrong” on the outside. She had built a life many would aspire to, yet something no longer fit. Kate opens up about the internal shift that led her to question her path, including the realization that success as she had defined it no longer aligned with the life she wanted to live. Through the unexpected pause of the pandemic, she began experimenting with new ways of working, which led to coaching, creating programs, and ultimately discovering work that felt more meaningful and aligned. Her story challenges the belief that we must stay on a path simply because it has been successful. Together, Tammy and Kate explore what it means to redefine potential on your own terms, how to move past the stories that keep you stuck, and why it is never too late to pivot. Kate also shares a simple yet powerful mindset shift that can help you move from feeling blocked to seeing new possibilities. This conversation is an invitation to rethink what is possible for your next chapter. In this week’s Work from the Inside Out podcast, learn more about: How to recognize when a successful career no longer aligns with your valuesWhy external success does not always translate to internal fulfillmentThe role of identity in keeping you stuck in a path that no longer fitsHow the pandemic created unexpected opportunities for reinventionThe difference between ego-driven success and purpose-driven workWhy you do not need a crisis to justify making a changeHow to translate existing skills into a completely new career directionThe power of questioning the stories you tell yourself about your past, present, and futureA practical mindset shift from “no, because” to “yes, if”How to begin redefining your potential on your own terms Learn more about Kate: Read: Beyond Potential: A Guide for Creatives Who Want to Re-Assess, Re-Define, and Re-Ignite Their CareersListen: Tales from the Lane podcastVisit: katekayaian.comFollow Kate on Instagram: @kkayaianGet on the Wait List: Creatives Leadership Academy Stay Connected: Connect with Tammy on LinkedInBuy Me A CoffeeWork From The Inside Out WebsiteSubscribe to the newsletterSubscribe to YouTube: @tammygoolerloeb

    292: The Emotional Demands of Leadership in Today’s Workplaces with Dina Denham Smith

    What does leadership look like in a world where emotions are more present at work than ever before? In this episode, Tammy speaks with executive coach, strategic advisor, and author Dina Denham Smith about the increasing emotional demands placed on leaders today. Drawing on her background in organizational psychology, business, and executive leadership, Dina shares how workplaces have changed and why leaders are being charged with navigating situations that go well beyond traditional management practices. In her new book, Emotionally Charged: How to Lead in the New World of Work, she connects the dots between the complexities of intensified emotions in the workplace and the practical approaches needed to lead a trusting and engaged workforce.  Dina reflects on her early life growing up on a boys boarding school campus and how that environment shaped her confidence, communication style, and comfort speaking up in male dominated settings. She also shares the path that led her from studying organizational  psychology to earning an MBA, working in consulting and private equity, and eventually building a successful executive coaching practice. Tammy and Dina also explore the concept of emotional labor in leadership. Dina explains why the emotional expectations placed on leaders have intensified in recent years and offers practical insights for navigating difficult conversations, supporting teams through change, and leading effectively in an emotionally complex workplace.

    291: Your Best Meeting Ever: Designing Collaboration That Actually Works with Rebecca Hinds

    What if meetings didn’t have to feel like a drain, but instead became one of the most powerful tools for collaboration and career growth? In this episode, I’m joined by Rebecca Hinds, organizational behavior expert and author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done. Rebecca shares how her early years as a competitive swimmer shaped her understanding of teamwork and why putting the team first ultimately elevates individual success. We explore the science of collaboration, what most organizations get wrong about meetings, and why so many well-intentioned efforts, including AI rollouts, fail due to human resistance rather than technical limitations. Rebecca explains the “4D rule” for deciding whether a meeting should even exist, how network science can transform career advancement, and why cognitive wandering is essential for innovation. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by inefficient meetings, skeptical about AI at work, or unsure how to position yourself for what’s next in your career, this conversation offers both research-backed insights and practical ways to rethink how you show up for your team and for yourself. In this week’s Work from the Inside Out podcast, learn more about: How Rebecca’s experience as a competitive swimmer shaped her understanding of teamworkWhy organizations often reward individual performance over team success and why that’s a mistakeThe 4D rule for determining whether a meeting should existDropbox’s radical “Meeting Gettin’” experimentThe hidden psychology behind meeting overloadHow network science influences career advancementWhy weak ties (not strong ones) often lead to new opportunitiesWhat “cognitive wandering” is and why it fuels innovationWhy AI initiatives fail due to human resistance, not technical limitationsHow to combine disciplines to create a unique competitive advantageWhy designing and running effective meetings is a high-value leadership skill Learn more about Rebecca: Read: Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things DoneVisit: RebeccaHinds.comFollow on LinkedIn: @rebecca-hinds Stay Connected: Connect with Tammy on LinkedInBuy Me A CoffeeWork From The Inside Out WebsiteSubscribe to the newsletterSubscribe to YouTube: @tammygoolerloeb

    290: Understand Yourself to Lead Others with Margaret Andrews

    In Episode 290 of Work from the Inside Out, Tammy Gooler Loeb speaks with Margaret Andrews, author of Manage Yourself to Lead Others: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding. A seasoned executive leader, Harvard instructor, and founder of the MYLO Center, Margaret shares why leadership is not just a skillset, it’s a craft that begins within. From her early career in consulting to running MBA and executive programs at MIT and Harvard, Margaret’s journey has been guided by curiosity, risk-taking, and deep reflection. Margaret explains why self-awareness becomes increasingly important as we move into leadership roles. One of her most powerful insights? We judge ourselves by our intentions, but others judge us by our behaviors. That gap can undermine even the most well-meaning leaders. She shares how understanding our formative influences, values, and definitions of success allows us to close that gap and lead with greater clarity and impact. In a world reshaped by post-pandemic workplace shifts, hybrid culture debates, and rapid change, Margaret reminds us that there is no silver bullet in leadership, only thoughtful, intentional navigation. If you’re contemplating your next move, leading a team, or striving to grow into your next level, this conversation offers practical frameworks and reflective questions to help you truly work from the inside out. In this week’s Work from the Inside Out podcast, learn more about: Why leadership is a creative craft and not just a positionThe difference between intentions and behaviors, and why it mattersHow curiosity shapes career transitionsThe role of risk-taking in professional growthWhy self-understanding is foundational to leading othersThe paradox of hybrid work and organizational cultureHow leaders can close the intention–behavior gapWhy slowing down leads to better long-term decisionsThe importance of modeling learning and vulnerabilityPractical reflection strategies for your next career move Learn more about Margaret: Visit The MYLO CenterRead: Manage Yourself to Lead Others: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-UnderstandingFollow Margaret on LinkedIn: @margaretcandrewsVisit MargaretAndrews.com Stay Connected: Connect with Tammy on LinkedInBuy Me A CoffeeWork From The Inside Out WebsiteSubscribe to the newsletterSubscribe to YouTube: @tammygoolerloeb

    288: From Pain to Purpose: Building Whole Health Wealth with Matt Paradise

    What happens when life strips away certainty—health, finances, identity—and asks you to rebuild from the inside out? In this powerful episode, Tammy Gooler Loeb sits down with Matt Paradise, financial wellness speaker, award-winning author, and living example of resilience. Matt shares his extraordinary journey from homelessness and addiction to a decades-long career in financial counseling and ultimately, to redefining what true wealth really means. Matt reflects on growing up between two vastly different worlds, grappling with addiction as a teenager, and becoming sober at 18. His story unfolds through mentorship, purpose, and a growing understanding that money is rarely just about math. It’s about identity, meaning, and hope. Along the way, Matt explains the critical difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, why comparison is the thief of joy, and how unaddressed inner struggles often show up in our financial lives. The conversation takes a profound turn when Matt shares his experience surviving a rare bile duct cancer diagnosis and liver transplant. Out of that pain emerged clarity—and his book, Financially Capable: A Friendly Guide to Building Whole-Health Wealth. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask: What does “enough” really look like and how do we build lives that support our whole selves? In this week’s Work from the Inside Out podcast, learn more about: Why financial stress is rarely just about moneyThe difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivationHow addiction, debt, and overwork share common emotional rootsWhat it means to build Whole Health WealthThe role of mentorship in personal and professional transformationHow serious illness can clarify purpose and prioritiesWhy “done is better than perfect” when life is uncertainA practical five-step framework for meaningful changeReframing “have to” into “get to”Why hope matters—even when it’s not a strategy Learn more about Matt: Read: Financially Capable: A Friendly Guide to Building Whole Health WealthVisit mattparadise.comLinkedIn: @mattparadiseFacebook Stay Connected: Connect with Tammy on LinkedInBuy Me A CoffeeWork From The Inside Out WebsiteSubscribe to the newsletterSubscribe to YouTube: @tammygoolerloeb

    287: The Visibility Factor: Why Hard Work Alone Isn’t Enough with Susan Barber

    In this episode of the Work from the Inside Out podcast, I’m joined by executive coach and author of The Visibility Factor, Susan Barber. A former Fortune 500 IT Director, Susan helps business leaders who want to leverage their leadership strengths, increase their visibility, and  elevate their impact in the workplace. Susan specializes in working with quiet, high-achieving leaders who want to step into the spotlight in authentic ways, so they can be seen, valued, and influential at work. Susan shares her journey working for 25 years in various leadership roles at Kraft Heinz to entrepreneurship, including the moment she received career-changing feedback that she “wasn’t visible enough.” That feedback, despite years of strong performance, forced her to confront imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the subtle ways leaders unintentionally hold themselves back. We discuss what visibility really means, why it’s not about bragging or being the loudest voice in the room, and how leaders, especially introverts, can reframe visibility as service, clarity, and responsibility. Susan also shares insights from her recently published Your Journey to Visibility Workbook and offers practical guidance for people navigating career growth, and professional transitions. In this week’s Work from the Inside Out podcast, learn more about: Why visibility ≠ self-promotionHow imposter syndrome quietly limits career growthThe difference between being busy and being visibleWhy introverts often struggle with visibility and how to reframe itHow feedback (even painful feedback) can become a career-defining giftWhat it really means to “do the job before you get the job”Practical ways to show up more intentionally without changing who you are Learn more about Susan: Read: The Visibility Factor: Breakthrough Your Fears, Stand In Your Own Power And Become The Authentic Leader You Were Meant To BeRead: Your Journey To Visibility Workbook: A Proven Action Plan to Achieve Career SuccessListen: The Visibility Factor podcastVisit: SusanMBarber.comLinkedIn: SusanBarberCoaching Stay Connected: Connect with Tammy on LinkedInBuy Me A CoffeeWork From The Inside Out WebsiteSubscribe to the newsletterSubscribe to YouTube: @tammygoolerloeb
