What's the connection between why HR is getting a bad rap and why some employees don't want to be managers? Listen as Megan Wheeler and I try to unravel this tough question and talk about leading with curiosity and questions instead of making assumptions.

Megan is a former coworker of mine from my design agency days in Brooklyn. She is the founder of Spoken, a consultancy dedicated to helping leaders and teams achieve meaningful growth. Megan has over 15 years of global experience and a Master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. As you’ll hear in this episode, she combines academic expertise with practical application to address real-world challenges.

Megan is an ICF-certified coach and leadership facilitator, and she has supported leaders from organizations across the globe focusing on building individual capabilities and strengthening team dynamics.

Listen in as we talk about how Megan brings clarity and focus to leadership development, and also as she shares a couple of her journeys - from academia to corporate, from corporate to consulting and back to corporate - and what is drawing her back to the corporate world.

Connect with Megan on LinkedIn or visit her website to learn more about her work.
