Episode 1 - Being stuck sucks
Feeling stuck is never fun but as a leader it can dent our confidence, puts results at risk and have us questioning if we are up to task. Old world approaches are no match for new world business challenges, but now there’s a better way.
"I’d recommend Get Unstuck because it’s short and sharp - easy to listen to while you’re commuting, driving or walking dog. I like how it integrates the theory and practice and is highly targeted to what so many leaders need today. I thought the real-life example of Melissa and her strategy question outcome in the last episode was excellent."
Brett Reid,
Executive General Manager – People and Culture, YMCA

“Kate is like the ‘Disruption Whisperer’. She lives and breathes her craft and this depth of knowledge enables otherwise complex concepts to become simple and practical. After listening to Get Unstuck I felt more invigorated. It’s so valuable especially for people who get trapped in their own heads.”
