Tune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

This episode will be part celebration, part reflection, and part insight. We will be celebrating what we learned from 1 year of hosting a live radio show and podcast, looking back at some of the highlights, and also sharing specific data on a group coaching program that follows the framework that our seasons have been focusing on this past year: Navigating Uncertainty, Developing Leadership Identity, Mapping a Strategy, Navigating Complexity, and Making a Greater Impact. 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

How do you make an impact on leadership development in a large healthcare system where people generally work in siloes? How can you help clinical and academic leaders feel more prepared and more supported to create organizational change and lead in times of uncertainty? 

We will review our proprietary research-based 5-stage Strategic Leadership Pathway model and the results from a program evaluation study of this model conducted at Duke University and presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting.

We'll explore questions such as:

1. What might be the impetus for starting a group coaching program within academic healthcare - what was the need identified and why group coaching?

2. What can you expect to gain from such a program and what are the implications?

3. What impact could this kind of program potentially serve in highly complex academic medicine and healthcare environments in supporting leaders in those environments. 

And we'll also celebrate 50 episodes and 1 year of doing this radio show!

In work and life, many of us encounter groups with different norms, expectations, and beliefs. As we navigate the workplace, this flexibility can be helpful, except when it causes us to lose touch with our truer selves or deprives us of our deepest connections. We may be so responsive to others that we lose what makes us special. On the other hand, we may protect our identities so fiercely that we close ourselves off to the potentially positive influences of others. Based on personal and professional experience as psychologist in federal corrections, Dr. Lyn will help us learn how to identify and embrace our unique combination of life experience and world view and use them to connect with others, express our individuality, and manage seemingly conflicting roles. 

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

Based on the experiences of a unlikely leader in federal corrections, listeners will be inspired to embrace the complexity of their identities and create ways to fit in, stand out, and make peace with seemingly conflicting roles in their own challenging work environments.

***

Dr. Tamara S. Lyn offers unique insights into leadership after decades of service in federal corrections. Her fascinating career as a psychologist-leader culminated in the role of Warden, where she was one of very few women, and even fewer psychologists, in the position.

She is the founder of High Ready Coaching and Consulting, supporting leaders in high-stakes, high-impact careers, including law enforcement, health care, and higher education. Dr. Lyn holds master’s and doctorate degrees in psychology from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and graduated with honors from Harvard College.

Tune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

What is intersectionality, and why does it matter when it comes to leadership development? And how might things like mental health, body autonomy, reproductive health affect our success as leaders and the success of organizations? Intersectional leadership and creating inclusive workplaces require a unique skills set: understanding structural barriers and social justice, promoting mental health, and connecting these to large scale impact and outcomes. Christian Nunes’s unique blend of experiences as NOW’s National President, a mental health professional, and a dedicated social justice advocate will offer actionable strategies for dismantling structural barriers and promoting mental health in leadership, including:

- Techniques for leading with an intersectional lens to address sexism and racism.

- Practical advice on building inclusive environments and supporting team well-being.

- Lessons on effective advocacy and leveraging personal expertise for societal change.

- Inspiration from Christian’s journey as a young, impactful leader in challenging spaces.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

This episode will delve into the intersection of mental health, feminism, intersectionality, the societal impact of abortion restrictions and how that affects the wellbeing and inclusive leadership practices of leaders. Grounded in peer-reviewed research and analysis, National NOW President and a licensed clinical social worker, Christian Nunes will explore how we navigate the complexities of these issues as leaders, and the critical role of Black feminism within an intersectional lens. Christian will debunk common myths, share personal stories, and offer practical recommendations, all through an unbiased, research-oriented lens. This episode also promises to give listeners practical advice for women and women of color navigating leadership roles.

***

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Christian stands as a trailblazer in both the advocacy and mental health fields. She is the second African American president of the National Organization for Women (NOW), the youngest person of color, and the youngest president to lead NOW over four decades. Her extensive background as a licensed clinical social worker and a woman-minority business owner uniquely positioned her to steer the organization through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic, emphasizing the dismantlement of structural sexism and racism through the lens of intersectionality. As the founder of a behavioral health and consulting practice, Christian has dedicated her career to bridging the gap between policy and the real-life experiences of individuals and families affected by mental health issues. Her work extends to assisting social service and behavioral health companies, showcasing her profound understanding of mental health's direct impact on communities.
