59 - The Power of Conversations in Unlocking Human Potential for Business Success with Corporate Punk's Claire Croft

Your host, Sri Chellappa, talks with the Executive Coach of Corporate Punk, Claire Croft. Clare Croft, the dynamic founder of Corporate Punk, is on a mission to revolutionize business performance through strategic conversations. With over two decades of experience, Claire empowers leaders to build high-performing teams and eliminate barriers that hinder organizational potential.

During the discussion, Clare emphasized the importance of conversation in unlocking human potential for business success. She believes that leaders often overlook their own experiences and feelings when leading change, which can hinder their ability to effectively lead their teams. By starting with understanding the leaders' perspectives and emotions, they can develop empathy for their teams and approach change in a more humanized way.

Claire highlighted three key factors that organizations that have successfully navigated change possess. Firstly, a belief in the capability of their people is crucial. Successful organizations recognize and tap into the potential already present within their workforce, rather than focusing on what they lack. Secondly, the relationship with time is important. Many organizations prioritize action over thinking, but Claire emphasizes the need for thoughtful planning and considering the impact of change before rushing into action. Lastly, starting small and building belief in the possibility of change is essential. Successful organizations begin with manageable changes and gradually expand from there.
