Um, my name is Lynn Walder.

I'm the founder and principal of Executive Management Partners based out of Boston, Mass.

And here with us today, I have one of my favorite humans ever, one of the most accomplished people that I know in my purview of administrators, and I would dare say a, a long friend, Concetta Green.

Uh, she's the chief of staff of Harvard Business Publishing.

Welcome, Concetta.

Mm-hmm

... driving business goals, better decision-making, and these kinds of things.

How can someone become more self-aware?

So I have a couple of quick ideas that people could do because I actually, like I said, I come in and work with leaders all the time.

And one of the other subset of passions that I work on in my portfolio life, as I call it, because I do work in administration, but I also consult and partner on setting up executive operations and then also hyper focusing in on culture and core values, which I call foundational values in startup and scale up organizations.

It's very interesting when I come into these organizations and I work one on one with the CEO and their leadership team, and they know all the buzzwords of what's important for building a thriving company or thriving team.

You know all the ones, integrity, collaboration, teamwork, accountability, like all the nebulous terms that they love to use.

Or they say, I'm a great communicator.

That's my favorite.

What advice would you offer, Lynn?
