Host Danielle Krischick has real conversations with leaders, industry experts and change-makers who share how they use stories to drive human connection in the workplace—beginning with the story of who they are.
We’ve gotten good at blaming the environment. Especially at work. David Lapin has sat with people who kept their humanity intact inside concentration camps and Hamas tunnels. And he has a much harder question for the rest of us. Lapin has been teaching leadership authenticity and vulnerability since long before the rest of the world caught up. A consultant, advisor, and author of Lead by Greatness, he built his entire body of work on ancient principles that have outlasted every management fad, which is why his talks from decades ago still sound like they were recorded this year. He studied briefly under Viktor Frankl, advises leaders across the globe, and lives in Israel, where much of this conversation was shaped.
