Episode 165: Leading Through Allostatic Load with Dr. Jason Kuhl
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jason Kuhl, Chief Medical Officer at Providence Medford Medical Center. We revisit a project we did together in Medford that became a model for breaking down silos: getting leaders in a room, listening first, and then building an agenda from what they actually needed rather than what I assumed they needed. Dr. Kuhl walks through how that work continues today through an acute care medical leadership council, an innovation center, and a structured way of th...

In this episode, I sit down with Ursula Taylor, former commercial litigator and founder of Conflict Reimagined, to unpack why most of us avoid tough conversations and how to handle them with clarity, courage, and control.
