Why Curiosity Is the Most Underrated Leadership Skill You Have
This week on The Intersection Podcast, I’m joined by Suzanne Jackstavage — Chief People Officer, executive coach, and longtime champion for equity and inclusion. Suzanne’s career journey, shaped by her upbringing and early experiences, fueled a deep commitment to building people-first workplaces..
Suzanne shares how leaders can foster psychological safety, lead with curiosity, and model vulnerability in ways that ripple through entire organizations. We explore the shifting challenges facing leaders today, from managing a five-generation workforce to navigating blurred lines between work and life, and the critical role of allyship in creating inclusive cultures.
Suzanne also opens up about the messy, real-life balance of leading, parenting, and showing up authentically. This conversation is rich with practical wisdom for leaders committed to creating workplaces where people can thrive.
Because leadership isn’t just about what you do — it’s about how you show up.
