Turn the Lens with Jeff Frick

In this episode, we look back to Amanda Palmer's "The art of asking" TED Talk from 2013. With over 18 million views and counting, Amanda clearly touched a nerve with the core message of knowing how to ask. But there are many more lessons to be learned, from the evolving role of distribution in an increasingly digital world, the value of direct connection to small number vs large number with small conversion, changing scope of connection with today's tools, value exchange, and most importantly (for me), lessons on trust.

I've had the pleasure of interviewing PagerDuty's CEO Jennifer Tejada on a number of occasions. She's an inspirational, successful leader, in all that the term encompasses. In this live look back to Girls in Tech, Inc. Catalyst Conference 2016, Jennifer shares a few of the values that have shaped her as a leader and more importantly, as a person. Perhaps you can incorporate some of these best practices in your relationships at work and beyond. Show page, links, transcript Thanks, Jennifer.

In this episode, and in the context of tightening of Covid restrictions, and a new way to work, work from home, work from anywhere, we look back at a 2013 interview with Marcia Conner, where she goes into depth in the need for a more Human Centric approach to managing people. Topics include working with the person you hired, enabling all people to contribute (not just the extroverts), re-thinking value metrics solely based on in-the-moment engagement and a positive note on taking advantage of the opportunity to change things that were designed for 18th Century work. Thanks for sharing your powerful concerns and insightful perspective Marcia! You changed the way I frame, measure, and value engagement. Transcript & Show Notes YouTube Video LinkedIn Article

Was writing a post-about Nick Mehta and the Gainsight acquisition by Vista Equity Partners, but figured, I'd just do a quick video (my preferred format) and podcast audio. Periscope for now. Enjoy and Congrats Team Gainsight! Transcript & Show Notes YouTube Video
