Enhancing Performance Through Discomfort | Initiating Hard Conversations

Today we talk with Daniel Ash, CEO and Co-Founder of Journeyfront, along with Greg Scott, CEO, and Karoline Pershell, COO, from Service Robotics & Technologies (SRT). As leaders of their companies, they know how difficult it can be to implement change in the workplace, especially the important changes necessary to shape an inclusive company culture. In our conversation, we discover the significance of having open conversations about diversity and inclusion at work. Although these topics can prove to be uncomfortable for some, it is the first step to promoting an educated and welcoming organization.
