Welcome to The Better Conversations Podcast—where we believe that thriving workplace cultures are built in everyday conversations. I’m Kara List, and after years of leading teams, coaching leaders, and navigating the messiness of work and life, I’ve learned this: as leaders, the words we say, and the ways we say them, matter more than we think. Every week, I’ll give you real tools for real conversations—like how to give feedback with confidence and clarity, lead truly connected 1:1s that actually matter, run staff meetings your team doesn’t secretly hate, and all the chats in between!
