We’ve all had moments in which we had to step out of our comfort zones. Our colleagues have learned that uncomfortable experiences often lead to rewarding outcomes—even if it feels awkward and challenging at the time. In this episode, Tiffany Burns, Katy George, Tania Holt, Greg Kelly, Sven Smit, and Magnus Tyreman talk about how taking control of sticky situations—whether it’s speaking up about a problem, giving tough feedback, or thinking quickly on their feet—has helped them grow professionally.

A truly inclusive environment is one where everyone’s individuality is embraced and celebrated. But bringing your authentic self to work is not always easy and often requires vulnerability, courage, and the support of others. In this episode, our LGBTQ+ colleagues David Baboolall (they/them/theirs), Ellis Griffith (they/them/theirs or she/her/hers), Matthews Mmopi (he/him/his), Maurice Obeid (he/him/his), and Brian Rolfes (he/him/his) share key moments in their careers where opening up about who they are led to strengthened relationships, new opportunities, and a sense of belonging.

Taking a leap of faith is almost always nerve-racking, but a bold move can yield great rewards and lead to new opportunities. In this episode, Brian Elliott, Alok Kshirsagar, Cindy Levy, Rob Palter, and Drew Ungerman share stories of how taking the path less traveled, mustering up the confidence to lead a big presentation, going off script, and trusting their instincts helped them stretch their capabilities and achieve success.
