Bringing one’s whole self to work means personal and professional lives mesh in a way that can sometimes get messy. Lindsay Mareau knows that all too well. She is a former senior tech leader who has guided leadership teams and global organizations in outlining people, process and technology to complement their growth and change strategy.

She has been alcohol-free for more than a year, chronicling her sobriety journey on LinkedIn for everyone in her professional network to see. Sobriety is a gift that has given her so much that she had to find a way to share it with others, especially now that she runs her own consulting company dedicated to helping others improve their lives.

Tune in to this episode of “Unusual Attitudes” to hear Mareau’s take on making changes, be it a better leader or sales performer.

Innovation runs through Electrolux’s line of home appliances. Artificial intelligence embedded in washing machines, for example, determines the right spin cycle and water consumption while maximizing cleaning efficiency. The Swedish company brings that same modern mindset to acquiring and managing talent.

AI changed the way HR handles transactional work but it didn’t change Electrolux’s value system, according to Anna Ullrich, a senior talent executive. Educating the workforce on AI is key to understanding the tech’s benefits, but not to the point of stifling inventive, creative ways of working with it.

In this episode of “Unusual Attitudes,” Ullrich explains why leaders should let teams have the freedom to discover their own way of working with AI while staying within the bounds of the company’s guardrails — ultimately creating the innovation they need.

Ray Tavares’ career has largely been spent in one industry — financial services — not all that uncommon for Gen Xers. About 20 years ago, he pivoted into the HR tech domain, and has witnessed every conceivable transformation along the way. His kids jokingly accuse him of “HR-ing” them with fatherly advice.

That’s because of his passion for helping others succeed. In his senior level role at Truist, the Charlotte-based bank formed by the merger of SunTrust and BB&T, Tavares sees himself largely as a coach who helps fellow leaders navigate organizational blind spots.

In this episode of “Unusual Attitudes,” he explains why he loves work, but isn’t a workaholic.
