Lead with Levity

Ep.18. Running for Congress & Leadership in the Era of Talent Mobility

Join me in this interview with Brynne Kennedy, author, business leader, and Congressional Candidate in the state of California. Brynne shares her experiences as the former head of Topia, a global talent mobility platform. We discuss the challenges of staying connected when the workforce is becoming more and more distributed. Brynne also shared her political platform and areas that she is passionate about. Unlike most episodes, I polled the audience beforehand. The majority of the questions come from you, the people!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What is the talent mobility revolution?
  • How can organizations support a distributed workforce?
  • Is levity at risk of dying off with organizations moving toward remote work?
  • Audience Q&A

Also available on iTunesGoogle, and other major podcast outlets.

People come together in these dynamic spaces to collaborate, to ideate, to spark creativity–and the office needs to reflect that.
