In this powerful conversation between Michelle and bestselling author Selena Rezvani, the two explore what it takes to lead in a way that’s sustainable, human, and effective in the modern workplace. Selena shares the deeply personal story behind her passion for people-first leadership—losing her father at 13 due to work-induced stress—and how that moment shaped her mission to reduce suffering at work. Her new book, Quick Leadership, is a practical guide for leaders who want to build trust, empower teams, and lead with compassion, all without sacrificing performance. Michelle and Selena explore specific, tactical leadership advice and emphasize the need for psychological safety, authentic storytelling, and co-creation, especially as Gen Z emerges as a significant force in the workforce. If you're a manager, team leader, or aspiring changemaker, this episode will leave you equipped and inspired to show up differently—smarter, more human, and more effective.\nCHAPTERS:\n00:00 Welcome & Selena's Book Launch\n01:00 The Personal Story Behind Selena's Mission\n03:00 What It Means to Reduce Suffering at Work\n05:00 Quick Leadership Tip: Ask 3 Before You Answer\n07:30 Give Praise Like Confetti\n10:00 Why Leaders Resist Human-Centered Leadership\n12:30 Vulnerability and Authenticity in Leadership\n14:00 Why Selena's TikToks Go Viral\n16:00 Seismic Shifts: Leadership's Impact on Mental Health\n18:00 Skepticism and the Return of Command & Control\n20:30 Building Exciting, Innovative Work Cultures\n22:00 The Power of Psychological Safety\n24:00 Understanding Gen Z’s Expectations\n26:00 Practical Ways to Co-Create with Gen Z\n29:00 Shared Leadership Opportunities in Meetings\n31:00 Summary of Quick Leadership & Final Thoughts\nSpecial thanks to our friend Brian Wayy for the theme music this season!\nTrack Title: My Heart's On Fire\nFollow Michelle for more inspiring content:\nWatch the podcast on YouTube:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/D2tDe0ZtfMCZ3nv5_47QQlEf1P6XT2RPjkWueECFh4E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYjQ5/ODU0NmEzNGRhZjE0/ZWUzMjNmMmJlN2E5/NzE5ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
