Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Domonique Townsend, CEO of We Optimize Work, who shares how she transitioned her years of experience as an Industrial Engineer and Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt to launch We Optimize Work and specialize in helping organizations align strategy with people to lead change with confidence without burning out teams or losing momentum.

During the interview, Domonique introduces their WOW Framework, which equips organizations to lead with clarity, gain stakeholder buy-in, and activate high-performing, engaged teams. She discusses the importance of challenging assumptions and finding misalignments and bottlenecks, tapping into the skills and experiences of employees for ideas and solutions, and adapting to different generations in the workplace and leveraging their wisdom. Domonique shares tips and recommendations for how to regain momentum in initiatives at work and for owning our role to make work feel good. She emphasizes the importance of having a personal purpose statement and showing employees how their roles make an impact. She also discusses positive trends in open conversations among leaders and the return to office, but also highlights the need to improve the culture being fostered. Domonique wraps up talking about her book, "Inspired to Innovate," and her philanthropic efforts and focus on education and advocacy for youth, serving on the board of Purpose Preparatory Academy and mentoring aspiring engineers from underrepresented backgrounds to help provide access to opportunities for success.
