“News and information in general has never been more important. When we're looking at how we inform the decisions that we make in our lives and what we care about. 

Just using the US as an example, whether it's related to what's happening in our Supreme Court and the cases that they're selecting, what's happening in our local governments, and our state governments, and our federal government?

This episode of the humans at work podcast features conversation with Dave Trausneck, Communications Consultant at Knowledge Partners, and Senior Manager at Aidoc.

Dave and I explore a variety of topics, ranging from personal stories about pets to the impact of community in sports, the evolution of news, and the importance of authentic communication in organizations. We discuss the challenges of misinformation and the importance of trust, the significance of listening to understand, and the power of vulnerability in professional settings. We also talk about what led us to connect, and the importance of seeking help during challenging times.

Dave and I talk about:

• How pets bring immense joy and companionship.
• Celebrity culture and the unrealistic expectations placed upon people to be perfect role models.
• How sports teams can be a catalyst for community development.
• How the landscape of news has drastically changed.
• The challenge that misinformation poses.
• How listening to understand is vital for meaningful dialogue.
• Authenticity in storytelling and the links to brand trust.
• Employee advocacy and its role in shaping public perception.
• Building community connections, even in remote-first organizations.
• Making it okay to seek help during difficult times.
