Every choice has a consequence — success is intentional. The decisions we make for our companies have a ripple effect on society and the environment.

Interdependency exists in everything. Our businesses require customers to stay in business. Additionally, having options to access materials and technologies is essential for delivering goods and services. There are many interdependent parts of a company, and recognizing each point where we connect with people and entities outside our own orbit is empowering.

This depth of knowledge allows for curiosity and an understanding of how business is conducted, enabling you to make informed decisions knowing you have the correct information at your disposal.

In this program, you will hear that every choice has a consequence, that business success is intentional, and how to discern the signal in the noise using feedback loops. The biggest pitfalls of filtering information are that the filter may use unrecognized ideology or confirmation bias.

Your host, Jess Dewell, talks with Kevin Howard, Principal Consultant at Climate Changes Everything®, LLC, about how leadership is evolving and how, even in the midst of change, with planning, you can shape the success of your future.
