“How are we gonna lock arms with trust and love and care and move into this unknown, unshaped, unformed future and start putting some shape and form to it, born from love? Not fear, power over, scarcity, all that kind of stuff. That’s what I’m hoping, this book becomes an instrument in that way to bring forward those kinds of caring conversations.
This episode of the humans at work podcast features conversation with Kent Frazier, CEO of ParadoxEdge.
Kent and I talk about polarities and becoming comfortable with the ‘edges’ of things.  We traverse a wide range of topics including, what this means for leadership through care, the search for conversational relationships in a world of ‘meetings’, and the need to move away from fixed, binary camps to embracing our polarities as a continuum that bring generosity and humanness at work.  Kent not only articulates these concepts clearly, but has written and designed “Love Fiercely”, an inspirational (and aspirational) book for children and adults of all ages and in all contexts.
Kent and I talk about:

Honouring the full spectrum of who we are and who we want to become
The concept of polarities and agility required to move constantly within them
How partial truths are part of our inherently human nature
How labels have gained a primacy that needs to be overcome – including when job titles are seen as a proxy for value
The value of true conversations, creating relationships built on generosity, understanding, conscious vulnerability, and valuing of each other
Shifting leadership paradigms towards a more human, candid and caring space
Being comfortable with being uncomfortable
The future of work, ethically embracing humanity, technologies and nature
