Introducing Breanna McQuade
Bright, curious and always evolving, Bre is one of our most prized assets here at Business Lab.
We can often get so bogged down with the pressures of everyday work that we can forget to ask the bigger questions. But Bre's always asking them naturally - and that has a lot of power.
She's constantly digging deeper. Even in her job interview, she asked us, ‘What's your future vision for the business?’.
She embodies the power of curiosity. Bre doesn’t shy away from emotion and her approach to ‘being human’ within the workplace.
Bre wears many hats on top of being our Operations Manager. One of those hats is with The Social Experiment, and that’s the context we dive into in today’s episode.
Connect with Bre via LinkedIn.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
Why a little mystery can go a long way when inviting people to engage with you
The importance of defining the ‘container’ for codesign or social innovation
Why systems thinking and codesign can be so challenging for people to grapple with (and how to help people through that)
The value of being open about emotions and creating space for them at work (especially when things are super busy).
