David Landman and Sumona explore what it's like to leave what you know behind for something unknown - and the courage it takes to take the leap. After two decades at the coveted financial firm, Goldman Sachs, David talks about "Life after Goldman" - the lessons he learned, the learnings he applies in his work as a Board member and advisor, and his newfound passion to unlock the fullest potential of humanity at work through human to human connection.

Join Sumona and Diane Neal, Board Member of General Mills and LL Bean and former CEO of Sur La Table and Bath and Body Works, as they discuss the leadership lessons we learn over the course of a career. Having worked in consumer focused retail brands, Diane and Sumona connect the dots between the customer and employee experience, exploring how culture is what ties the two together. Diane shares advice on staying empathetic, relevant and effective in our roles as leaders today.

In this episode of Dear Leader, idealis' Chief Learning Officer, Allison Williams, joins Sumona to answer a question from a leader who is feeling exhausted and overwhelmed from all the change they've faced over the past few years. They'll address the question with some ideas about how we navigate change as individuals and as leaders, and they'll remind us of how we have what it takes to withstand more than we might think. We just need to stay centered, keep perspective, and lean on what we know and who we know.
