  To Sound Like a Leader, Think About What You Say, and How and When you Say It 25.09.2026 5min

  To Sound Like a Leader, Think About What You Say, and How and When you Say It 23 May 2022 --- The “executive voice” is less about performance and more about strategic instincts and being aware of the signals you send in daily interactions and communications. 00:00 Developing an "executive voice" can be the difference between success and failure. 00:48 Tip 1: Understand the context. 01:35 Tip 2: Be a visionary. 01:58 Tip 3: Cultivate strategic relationships. 02:27 Tip 4: Bring solutions, not just problems. 02:51 Tip 5: Stay calm in the pressure cooker.

  How Salary Transparency Can Assist You (and Your Workplace) 25.09.2026 18min

  How Salary Transparency Can Help You (and Your Workplace) 26 Oct 2023 --- How much money do you make? Did that question make you nervous? Uncomfortable? Or, maybe, excited? Historically speaking, talking about your salary (especially at work) was off limits. But things are changing — “salary transparency” is becoming the new norm, and for good reason. When people are aware of how much those around them make, everyone gets paid more fairly, which makes workplaces more equitable. But what does salary transparency actually look like in the workplace? How do you broach the subject with your coworkers, boss, friends, and even strangers? Ascend editor Kelsey Alpaio talks with David Burkus, an organizational psychologist, to learn more about the pros and cons of salary transparency, how it can play out at the company level, and how to make it work for you. She also speaks with Hannah Williams, a content creator who makes a living off of asking strangers how much money they make, and Carolyn Kopprasch, the Chief of Staff at Buffer, a company who is practicing “radical transparency” by listing all of their employees’ salaries online. This video originally published on HBR's Ascend YouTube Channel in January, 2023.

  What Having a "Growth Mindset" Actually Means 25.09.2026 5min

  What Having a "Growth Mindset" Actually Means 9 Feb 2022 --- Individuals who believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others tend to achieve more than those who believe their talents are innate gifts. 00:00 The meaning of "growth mindset" has become distorted 00:59 Misconception 1: "I already have it, and I always have" 01:27 Misconception 2: A growth mindset is just about praising and rewarding effort 01:54 Misconception 3: Just espouse a growth mindset, and good things will happen 02:16 Here are some traits of companies that encourage growth mindset 02:50 But, we all have our own fixed-mindset triggers to overcome This is because they worry less about looking smart and they put more energy into learning. When entire companies embrace a growth mindset, their employees report feeling far more empowered and committed; they also receive far greater organizational support for collaboration and innovation. In contrast, people at primarily fixed-mindset companies report more of only one thing: cheating and deception among employees, presumably to gain an advantage in the talent race. Based on the HBR article by Carol Dweck: What Having a “Growth Mindset” Actually Means (https://hbr.org/2016/01/what-having-a-growth-mindset-actually-means). This video is co-produced with @EMERITUS.

  Blending Athletics and Revenue: Adidas and the Commercialization of the Olympics | Cold Call 25.09.2026 30min

Or maybe you’ve already decided that the corporate life isn’t for you and you have a passion project that could become a full-fledged business.
