The Chirp Podcast: Clearer is Faster

Jennifer Allen and Sofia Liasi are more than just a team. Together, they’ve created the culture and structures that enable teams to work with clarity, transparency and unity while enabling each member to bring their whole self to work.

In this episode of Clearer is Faster, we explore:

• What clarity looks and feels like in the context of teamwork
• The pinch points where clarity falls away in large organisations, and what they can do about it
• How to build teams with clarity at their core, whether you’re working within a team or leading it

Sofia Liasi and Jennifer Allen are changing what leadership looks and feels like at one of the largest multinationals in their industry. They also deploy this entrepreneurial streak beyond the day job through their own ventures. As friends, colleagues and now business partners they think, live and breathe teamwork that's grounded in clarity – whether it's between themselves or in the teams they've co-developed.
