Have you wondered what the future of work looks like? What does it look like when you put people first and what would it take for workplaces to be the places where people really thrive, where they find and connect to their purpose, where human relationships matter and the workplace actively supports personal growth.

In this episode, Lisa talks with Christine Hildebrand and Wendy Horng Brawer, co-founders of Intune Collective, about how their business and the business of being human has an impact on our future as we enter the era of new possibilities.

This is a time a tremendously dynamic time on the planet, the era of new possibilities is an orientation for CEOs and leadership teams, and organizations to look toward what is the possibility because if we are reinventing now if this is reinvention time, then we can wipe the slate clean, and imagine what we can have versus what we can't, this is a time of tremendous healing too because we have all of these divides that are happening, right? Economic divides, spiritual divides, racial divides, environmental. And so we have an opportunity here, and this is what in tune helps organizations do is that we help them ground into their reason for being what their core purposes, what they want to create, as a leadership team and unify around a common purpose. If we do that, as human beings, the sky's the limit, the opportunities and the possibilities are endless, but it requires everybody to come together and orient themselves toward this unity, and then originate solutions, maybe from different places than they had originally thought. And certainly different from how we have been operating in the past.

Topics Discussed in this Episode include:

Future of Work 

Humanity in the workplace 

The Business of Being Human 

Synergistic Consulting 

Transformation at the C-Suite

CEO & Leadership Success

Possibility Summit 

How Intune Collective is leading the way in the C-Suite as we enter the era of new possibilities.
