First Sip with Shari Starkey: Creating Teams That Thrive & Not Just Survive
What leadership actually looks like when the spreadsheets are put away, the emails stop dinging, and you're trying to lead real humans through stress, change, growth, and the occasional workplace chaos.
Shari shares her journey from adjuster to executive leadership, her passion for NeuroLeadership, and why understanding how the brain works can completely change the way we communicate, coach, and build stronger teams. We dive into burnout, psychological safety, leadership mistakes, developing future leaders, and creating environments where people can do their best work without sacrificing themselves in the process.
