Unlocking potential requires we understand what causes potential to expand and what causes it to contract. Many people don’t focus on the condition of human potential nor the role they play in shaping it, even though the health and development of people and their environment are foundational to an organization’s competitive advantage and the ability to achieve its business objectives.
 
In this episode, my guest and I will be discussing answers to some of the most important questions to consider. Our conversation will center around the health and vitality of people and culture and the role win/win practices play in positive outcomes, joy and fulfillment. My guest today is uniquely qualified to discuss this. Not only did she research and write her college thesis on this topic, over the decades since then, she has passionately advocated for the conditions and conversations that create incredible win/win outcomes! Most importantly, I can personally vouch for the fact that my guest walks the talk of creating life-giving conditions and conversations that bring out the best in people. She causes me to commit to be authentic, caring and in service. She has maintained passion about win/win organizational culture because she sees win/win relationships as precious and one of the most important factors needed for success and the actualization of good ideas and people.
