Looking to learn more about leadership and building great teams? I had the pleasure of talking with Liane Davey about this, her new book Thoughtload and much more on Episode 112 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

How Liane initially considered a career in academia but then pivoted to the private sector,

Understanding your special skills/ experience and using that as a way into the job you want,

Don’t underestimate the skills that come to you naturally and can help you stand out,

Why Liane focused on specialising in teams and improving their performance,

What makes a good leader?

The importance of good communication and how it can be developed.

What is thought load and why is managing it important?

How to become more focused and productive,

Differentiating between emotions and feelings at work,

Managing your energy can help your decision making and

Using your time productively when looking for work.

For over 25 years, Liane has researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance, working with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including dozens of Global Fortune 500 companies, she has developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them.

Beyond her work in the boardroom, Liane is a New York Times Bestselling author of You First: Inspire Your Team to Grow Up, Get Along, and Get Stuff Done and The Good Fight: Use Productive Conflict to Get Your Team and Organization Back on Track and her new book Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work. She is also a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review and has been sought by media outlets for her expertise on fostering healthy teams.

Liane has a PhD in Organizational Psychology from the University of Waterloo, Canada’s #1 Research University among comprehensive universities 10 years in a row.
