Guest: Kathryn Goldman Schuyler, Ph.D.
From fostering smiles in the office to mindfulness, your personal practices have a major effect on your team – and your success. In fact, what you do as a person – not just as a leader – can ripple through your organization.
That’s one major takeaway from Dr. Kathryn Goldman Schuyler in this episode. She’s conducted extensive research on “waking up at work” – a greater awareness of workplace systems and how your actions affect them. Having a sense of humor, spending time outdoors, journaling, meditation: they can all boost positivity and morale in your team, and that boosts productivity and engagement in the process.
Here's what Kathryn and Maureen cover:
How personal practices impact your professional growth and leadership effectiveness;
The many ways journaling, walking, and “mindful moments” unlock your full potential in the workplace; and
How to inspire and motivate your team with a sense of humor and generally boosting joy at work.

Guest: Ira Chaleff, former executive director of the Congressional Management Foundation
Tyrants can only rise with our help. And they aren’t limited to heads of state. Family heads, corporate CEOs, a town mayor: any leadership role can have tyrannical qualities. As followers, we make them possible.
And we can push them to a better path.
Our guest, Ira Chaleff, studies followership in-depth. He’s identified five categories of followers who play a role in a tyrant’s rise…and how they can change that course.
Here's what Ira and Maureen cover:
Where you may stand in the follower categories;
The big differences between dictators and tyrants; and
What you can do to improve outcomes by understanding the concepts of courageous followership.

Guests: Peter Cunningham, Co-founder, & Patrick Sweet, Co-Director, of the Geneva Leadership Alliance
Being a great leader means you can’t lead alone anymore. The leadership paradigm is changing.
In this episode, Maureen speaks with Patrick Sweet and Peter Cunningham from the Geneva Center for Security Policy about the evolving nature of leadership. They explore how leadership is no longer just an individual endeavor, but a collective practice, emphasizing adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and resilience. From navigating post-conflict trauma to balancing polarities like continuity and change, this conversation offers powerful insights for growing your leadership – especially if your firm works across borders.
Here's what Peter, Patrick and Maureen cover:
Why effective leadership is now collective, shared within your team;
How our multigenerational and multicultural workforces require greater adaptability in your leadership skills; and

Guests: Ryan Redington, Amazon Music GM, & Kara Hurst, Chief Sustainability Officer

In this episode, two Amazon execs explain how and why they innovate in areas outside of the company’s stereotypical retail business: in sustainability and in the music industry.The impact has been huge. Over 500 companies have joined Amazon in their climate pledge, moving to clean energy and other sustainable practices. In music, they’re redefining the industry, even discovering new artists such as Chappell Roan!
Here's what Kara, Ryan, and Maureen cover:
Why seeing an industry outside of its traditions helps you discover new markets and opportunities;
What the one- and two-way door framework is, and how to use it to spark innovation; and
Why it’s good business to increase sustainability and climate action.

Guest: Mike Hardy, founder & former director, Coventry University’s Centre for Peace & Security
Is peace relevant to business?
Absolutely, according to Mike Hardy. Profits and stability arise from peacefulness, yet we relegate its pursuit to nonprofit and government leaders. In this episode, Mike shares both his research and diplomatic experience to show how leaders in all sectors can create, and benefit from, peace and security in their communities and around the globe.
Here's what Mike and Maureen cover:
Why you have just as much of a leadership role in fostering peace and security as any Prime Minister or President;
How an experience in Iceland brought him to focus on the interplay of trust, peace, and social relations; and
Why Star Wars provides a perfect model for inclusion and DEI in real life.

Guest: Greg Moran, Former Ford Senior Executive
How do you negotiate the best deal possible?
Our guest, Greg Moran, shares the three key elements he discovered negotiating for Ford and other top corporations. The ultimate success, he found, came when both parties found great benefit in the results.
Here's what Greg and Maureen cover:
Why going for the win is less important than finding the win-win;
Why the other party isn’t the enemy – it’s something else entirely; and
Why the other side tries to instill a sense of fear in you over losing the deal.

Guests: Jennifer Marriner, Sr. VP, & Sherri Haymond, Co-President, of Mastercard divisions
What happens when innovation means life or death for your company?
In this first of a two-part series of innovation at Mastercard, guests Jennifer Marriner and Sherri Haymond describe the ongoing innovations in their divisions: Global Acceptance Solutions and Global Partnerships, respectively. As customers and retailers alike continue to change how they move money, Mastercard must not only keep up with them, but innovate so deeply that they actually have new tech ready BEFORE payment preferences evolve.
That means leading an organization-wide innovation culture, with plenty of leadership lessons for the rest of us.
Here's what Jennifer, Sherri, and Maureen cover:
Why it’s so important for leaders to think differently and experiment with the new;
How collaboration, inside and outside the organization, boosts your odds of success; and
Why constantly asking your stakeholders “What do you need from us?” keeps you ahead of the competition.

Guest: Éliane Ubalijoro, Rwandan Presidential Advisor, Consultant, & Professor
Clues about the leadership you’ll need in the near future are coming from unexpected places: Africa and genetics.
Our guest, Dr. Éliane Ubalijoro, shares success stories in leadership development she’s seen in African communities. Nuance, cultural competencies, and persistence stand out as qualities not usually seen in lists of leadership qualities, but they enhanced success – and with growing multiculturalism in our workforces and globally interconnected markets, they are emerging as keys to enhancing leadership everywhere.
Here's what Éliane and Maureen cover:
How both societal and technological shifts require new leadership models – and make old-school leaders fall further behind;
The ways your genetics (and epigenetics) affect your underlying emotions and influence your decisions; and
The emerging Fourth Industrial Revolution, and how Africa may be better positioned to leverage it than traditional industrialized nations.
Recorded in Brussels in association with the International Leadership Association:
