  • Belle Walker - AI Integration Changing Business DNA - Episode 163
    Dec 12 2025

    Successful AI integration is like setting CRISPR loose on the DNA of your organization. AI will collapse the distance between strategy and execution and orgs that fail to appropriately rewire decision rights and talent models will pay for speed with brittleness. It’s time to dig deep into the building blocks of your organization’s structure, define the future (including metrics) you want to see, and chart your course to make the changes you never knew were possible.


    Belle Walker takes organizations from Friction to Function®, recapturing lost efficiency and engagement. Bestselling author of Generation Innovation and TEDx speaker, Belle has built successful operations for multi-billion dollar companies Google and HERE. Her approach takes an engineer’s perspective, leveraging her degrees from Harvard and the University of Southern California.


    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.

  • Angela Dunz - What You Don't Want to Know About LinkedIn - Episode 162
    Dec 5 2025

    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. 💚💛

    Nov 21 2025

    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.

  • Robin Beers - Dignity-centered Organizations - Episode 160
    Nov 13 2025

    Dignity is central to our humanity and enhancing dignity in the workplace creates psychological safety so people can do their best work.
    But we live in stressful, unpredictable times and this can often lead to behavior and conditions that erode or violate the dignity of ourselves and others, creating an environment where more energy goes into protection than contribution.
    Please join us for a rich, interactive exploration into what dignity is, why it's important, and how we can enhance it with tangible strategies and repair it when violations occur.

  • Matthew Cahill - Incisive Leadership: How Inclusion Must Evolve - Episode 157
    Oct 30 2025

    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.
