"I See What You Mean" is a weekly podcast about how and why we get on the same page with each other… or don’t… or shouldn't.
In my trailer I tell you why I care about such things in the workplace, at home, in communities and in our country. I describe my interview plans plus confess some geekhood you might find interesting. Or curious!
If you ever wonder what to do when you and someone see things so differently there's no agreeing what to do, listen for 2 minutes and subscribe if you think I might have some good ideas.
Even if you don't subscribe, I think you'll love the very cool (copyright compliant!) blues song I use.
Best to you and yours,
Lou

Another Admirable Bundle Of Contradictions - Part 1
Meet Lola Stith and she's quiet, unassuming, cooperative, hard to read. Know Lola and she's focused, determined, uncannily perceptive, catch-you-off guard funny, and perceptive. Said that twice, didn't I. Because she is, twice.
I had the privilege of working with Lola 10 years ago. We caught up recently when I called to ask if I ever exhibited gender bias toward her. That question came up in preparation for an episode with Karen Newnam, and I reached out to ask women who'd worked for me. Lola's answer surprised me and we had a great conversation about it (we get into this in Part 2). We also discussed gender in the workplace, implicit bias, difficult conversations and a few more getting on the same page challenges - and decided to keep the conversation going and record it. So here are a few of my favorite ahh-ha! moments from Part 1:
5:41 - Letting my team know I hear them is the most foundational thing I can communicate. Getting on the same page as alignment.
7:46 - Managing reactions to change ranging from personal to business issues.
10:05 - Leading change and listening to my team - because I don't know everything!
14:33 - Opening the door to getting on the same page. Opening the door to see what's there.
20:40 - Differences are opportunities - if you know how to discuss them.
