About this listen

I created this podcast with the vision of engaging in meaningful conversation with individuals who have identified their core values and have created successful business and/or careers that are rooted firmly in those values. As a consultant and executive and leadership coach and a social psychologist, my mission is to help organizations and people align their values with both their careers and their lives. As such, Catching North Stars is a way for me to identify folks who are creating meaningful work and to share their journeys and successes with others. My goals for the podcast are: 1) to learn and share with others how deep purpose can be transformed into meaningful work; 2) to shine a light on the work of inspirational individuals; 3) to use an Organizational Psychology lens to focus on areas addressing work and workplace issues; and 4) to engage in questions about the meaning of the work and its potential impact on society. I hope the journeys of my guests will inspire you as much as they inspire me!

With great respect, Alexis Halkovic, PhD

    Reckless Optimism: Resilience, Leadership, and the Climate Fight with Anna Kelly
    Sep 19 2025
    In this episode of Catching North Starts, I sit down with Anna Kelly and talk about her career as a leader in the fight against climate change, specifically in the energy space. We'll hear talk about: how AI can save the world (I'm not going to spoil it here, but I guarantee it isn't what you are thinking); why she remains recklessly optimistic, in spite of major setbacks in the energy and environment political space; how she persevered after a life-altering injury as a young person and how that has paved her journey into the environmental space in completely unpredictable ways. A super inspiring conversation!
