Episode 18: Build resilient teams: engagement, talent, and innovation redefined

What if one strategic shift could simultaneously boost engagement, attract top talent, and drive innovation?

In this episode, I introduce Step 1 of my signature 12-step program—a practical, research-backed approach to embedding cognitive inclusion and unlocking your team’s full potential.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why traditional diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts often fall short.
✅ How disengagement, talent struggles, and resistance to change are all interconnected—and solvable with a single approach.
✅ A simple, actionable first step you can take today to assess the opportunity.

If your team feels stuck, burned out, or resistant to change, this episode is your starting point.

 

 

Since publishing this podcast, I’ve decided to discontinue the 12 Steps program. Rather than persevering stubbornly and hoping something would change, I’m acting on the evidence of what I’ve observed: the content resonated strongly, but the do-it-yourself format didn’t lead to the kind of engagement I intended.

The 12 Steps approach is strong — rooted in evidence and experience — so don't worry; the content and advice in this podcast is still relevant and valuable to address your challenges with your team. But the format of sharing the insights and actions wasn't optimal.

So I’ve evolved the work into something more impactful: my new Neuro-Inspired Teams program. My mission hasn’t changed — helping leaders build teams that grow their business and free them to lead. But the format has. The biggest shifts:

• It’s now a Done-With-You Strategic Leadership Partnership.
• I tailor the content, support, and delivery to each unique leadership context.
• I'm reworking the core content into short films with takeaway guides and actions that are easier to consume on the go or during work.
