I created this podcast with the vision of engaging in meaningful conversation with individuals who have identified their core values and have created successful business and/or careers that are rooted firmly in those values. As a consultant and executive and leadership coach and a social psychologist, my mission is to help organizations and people align their values with both their careers and their lives. As such, Catching North Stars is a way for me to identify folks who are creating meaningful work and to share their journeys and successes with others. My goals for the podcast are: 1) to learn and share with others how deep purpose can be transformed into meaningful work; 2) to shine a light on the work of inspirational individuals; 3) to use an Organizational Psychology lens to focus on areas addressing work and workplace issues; and 4) to engage in questions about the meaning of the work and its potential impact on society. I hope the journeys of my guests will inspire you as much as they inspire me!

Many of the world’s most caring teachers have made a commitment to love every one of their students, regardless of racial background, but how does this work in practice? Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, PhD, has been exploring how racial literacy facilitates personal growth for educators and other professionals to attain this goal.
A professor of English Education at Teachers College Columbia University, Yolanda shares her journey to developing her ideas about racial literacy, including her work on the Archaeology of Self, which is a pathway to overcoming racism in oneself and in the world around us. Her poetry is one artifact of this exploration.
