The Leadership Communication Show with Michael Piperno

Today’s conversation is with entrepreneur and psychologist Jason Cochran, co-founder of Dulead and iAsp ire E ducation, two companies that are transforming the way organizations engage with and develop their employees.

I invited Jason to the show today because he knows a lot about helping leaders attract, engage, and more importantly, retain top talent. Every time we talk, I learn more about how psychology and technology can be leveraged to help everyone in an organization grow into the best versions of themselves, while positively impacting the company in just about every important way — from employee satisfaction to positive brand sentiment to the organization’s bottom line.

We talk about being able to bring our whole selves to work, mental health, psychological safety, healthy team cultures, and battling the burnout that seems to be getting more and more prevalent as the months and years march on.

Storytelling with Heather Hardwick

I have worked with my colleague and friend Heather Hardwick on a variety of communication initiatives over the years — and I’ve always been impressed with how she can see the story that needs to be told before anyone else has even created an outline or written a single line of copy. That’s why I invited her to come on the show to share some of her brilliance with you.

Heather is a brand communications leader who designs programs and solutions that advance business strategy, reinforce brand narrative, enhance customer experience and strengthen culture. She has worked in both corporate and agency environments to achieve the marketing communications goals of industry-leading organizations in education, financial services, healthcare, technology, energy, arts and entertainment, real estate and other sectors.

We talk about everything from connecting with your audience on an emotional level, framing your story, positioning, personal branding, trust, and building strong brand and business relationships through the power of strategic and authentic storytelling.

Creating a Culture of Curiosity with Gil Brady

Today my guest is Gil Brady, a leadership expert who has had a varied and fascinating journey. After serving in the military, he had a successful career in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology — and then changed careers and worked as a Junior High School Math Teacher and elementary school principal. While completing his doctorate in Executive Leadership, Gil founded Relationship Impact, a leadership development firm focused on Executive Team Development. In July of 2018, Gil began serving as the President of Nativity Prep Academy of San Diego, the county’s only all-scholarship school focused on serving students from low-income situations who will be among the first generation in their family to graduate from college. Gil is also part of the leadership team at Core Strengths, a company that develops tools that help organizations build high-trust teams that deliver results through relationships.

I invited Gil to the show because he knows a lot about helping leaders create a culture of curiosity — something so important in our current business world but also something that many leaders struggle to get right.

We talk about the power of positive regard, leadership communication mistakes that affect culture and kill curiosity and innovation, tension, conflict, and how to make people feel seen, heard, and valued. We also explore how we have both used the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI 2.0) assessment in our work. It was a great conversation where Gil shared a wealth of great advice. I hope you enjoy it.
