MENGENAI EPISOD INI
In this episode, Derek chats with Kate Volman—CEO, speaker, and big believer in helping people dream bigger. From her early days at the Chamber of Commerce to leading Floyd Consulting, Kate shares what she's learned about people, growth, and the messy (but rewarding) work of leadership. They talk about the real stuff—why most business problems are actually people problems, how leaders can create space for personal dreams at work, and why being creative isn't optional anymore. Whether you lead a team or are part of one, this is the kind of conversation that makes you pause and think about how you show up—for your business and your people.
In This Episode:
- Why "dream management" might be the leadership superpower no one's talking about
- How Kate's experience at the Chamber shaped the way she builds relationships
- What the "iceberg" analogy reveals about business challenges
- Why most disengaged employees are really just unfulfilled people
- How asking one simple question can change your team culture
- The truth about partnerships—and what to know before diving in
- Why good leaders care about more than just productivity
- How to focus on strengths and still grow your business the right way
