<p>Recently I was a guest on Lauren LeMunyan's Spitfire Podcast. &nbsp;Lauren and I are both coaches who work with executives to become <em>consciously profitable.</em> &nbsp;The question is, how?</p> <p>Leaders who are executives and business owners have to keep up with legislation, maintain profitability to retain value within the company, and rely on people to make those things happen. &nbsp;As if that isn't tricky enough, those leaders have to lead people who, in 2021, are dealing with the pandemic - working remotely and isolated, while dealing with the social reckonings of the lack of equity, inclusion and diversity.</p> <p>No one wants to be part of the problem. &nbsp;Everyone wants to offer a solution. &nbsp;What is a leader today to do?</p> <p>In this interview we talk about legislation that is in the Senate for committee review that will impact M&amp;A activity for startups. &nbsp;We also tie it to the questions that Victoria M. Grady poses in a recent article for leaders who want to be value added to their teams in transition. &nbsp;Finally, we discuss our upcoming webinar, "<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-4-stages-of-psychological-safety-creating-an-inclusive-team-culture-tickets-147339134317">How To Create A Psychologically Safe Team</a>" on Monday, April 12th, 2021. &nbsp;In this webinar we will discuss:</p> <ul> <li><strong>What’s Working and What's Not in DEI Strategies</strong></li> <li><strong>The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety and What You Really Need to Pay Attention To</strong></li> <li><strong>The Next Steps to Building Your Inclusive Leadership Strategy</strong><br> <br> <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-4-stages-of-psychological-safety-creating-an-inclusive-team-culture-tickets-147339134317">Registration </a>is free and available at consciouslyprofitable.com<br> </li> </ul>
