Curious about… the impact of 4-5 generations working together for the first time in history. I’m a generational junkie.

Fun fact… I’ve traveled to 32 countries, but one of my most bizarre experiences was getting a tour of Shanghai with a glass of Champagne in hand while sitting in the sidecar of a motorcycle driven by an Irishman.

GEORGIA, USA
FOUNDING FACULTY MEMBER

35 years in leadership development and adult education

Proud moment… led the “human side” of a merger of two global pharmaceutical companies to consider future competency and role requirements, not just seniority.

Curious about… why leaders feel they must always be in performance mode and so undervalue learning.

Heather Holbert Murphy

WASHINGTON, DC USA
FOUNDING FACULTY MEMBER

20 years in leadership development and adult education

Proud moment… at the very start of a 6-day development program, one participant argued vehemently against the very premise of the program, dismissing the research, experts, and me. Then, on the final day, he shared with the class that his mind was changed, he felt differently about his role, had a new appreciation for his work, and he thanked me.

Curious about… how, after all this time, people still underestimate the personal side of leadership.

Fun fact… my husband and I do similar work and “lovingly” debate who does it best.

Curious about… changing the way we present to better align with the brain, so audiences will act on your story.
