Ep. 71 - Office Politics (Part 2): Learning to Manage and Master Political Maneuvering
Strategic Momentum
04/14/20 • 80 min
In this episode, we’re looking at various solutions and courses of action you can take to mitigate, manage, or navigate office politics more effectively.
In “Office Politics Part 1” (Ep. 68), a panel of business leaders joined us to share their individual experiences with and perspectives on politicking in the workforce. Today, the group returns to explore what it takes to manage common political situations and how to build those skills that can help you anticipate and maneuver those tricky circumstances in the future. Ultimately, it comes down to understanding power dynamics, developing your emotional intelligence (EQ) to build better relationships, and creating a strategic plan to fall back on in political situations.

Ep. 68 - Office Politics (Part 1): Understanding The What, How, and Why to Navigate Workplace Dynamics Effectively
Strategic Momentum
03/03/20 • 56 min
While many of us would rather avoid office politics or pretend it’s not necessary to understand them, the reality is that we can’t — and if you ignore them, you could end up left behind. So what does it take to build that political know-how that will help you get unstuck and thrive?
This is the first in a series of episodes that brings together a range of business leaders to share their perspectives and experiences from different roles, industries, and company structures. They offer insights that will help listeners build political competence in order to navigate office politics effectively.
In this episode, we get the lay of the land by exploring what office politics really means, the positive and negative sides of it all, and most importantly, what drives the political behavior at its core. Because being able to navigate politics efficiently starts with understanding the “why” behind human behavior.

Ep. 7 - Empathizing with your customers - The role it plays in product strategy | with Jim Gregoire
Strategic Momentum
10/24/17 • 25 min
Jim Gregoire is the Chief Product Officer at Openbay, an award-winning online marketplace for auto repair and provider of SaaS-based offerings for the auto care industry. Unlike most product leaders, Jim started in marketing and shifted to his current role.
We discuss what an effective product strategy entails (it needs to be truly customer-centric vs. taking an inside-out point of view), how a product leader creates the momentum that garners stakeholder buy-in and enables them to get the resources they need – and, ultimately, why establishing a product experience that delivers intrinsic value requires you to empathize with your internal and external customers.

Ep. 110 - Time Management is Pain Management: How to Be Indistractable - with Nir Eyal
Strategic Momentum
04/26/22 • 52 min
Nir Eyal’s latest book (“Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life”) is an indispensable resource in our uncertain world.
Nir goes beyond just providing good time management tips — although he has quite a few of those — by helping us get to the root of why we get distracted in the first place so that we can actively shift from being distractible to being indistractable.
And the best part is that these strategies are surprisingly simple. They help you take a big problem — planning your work AND life — and break it down into manageable, solvable situations. And while you’re focusing on what you can do tomorrow, you’ll end up building habits that make everything easier in the future.
