OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, Nozomi and Trevor discuss:
- Being intentional about where you are and what you are doing in your leadership.
- Leading in a way that is good for people and good for business.
- Being honest, intentional, and connecting with yourself and your values.
Key Takeaways:
- Telling stories makes the world less confusing for everyone.
- When you learn to travel and take the time to learn about other cultures, you will start to understand the richness, beauty, and diversity of humanity.
- Engage in stories that are different from your own. In that crucible, you will begin to understand what you do value and where you’ve created boundaries you didn’t know existed.
"A lot of times we don't engage with each other enough. Embrace that as an opportunity rather than fear it as a threat." — Trevor Williams
"I felt that reporting on business would be kind of dry and dull, but I really have embraced it as a way to look at the world with an anthropological view on how people make their living - it is an essential part about being human, how you survive." — Trevor Williams
