Like most we generally use coffee to kickstart our day, but we've discovered that a podcast can be just as effective to get the brain juices flowing! This was an early morning session where we sat down with Heather Wellenius - Director of Engineering @ Buoy Health. We set out to discuss the variable manifestation of culture and its perception-based definition - and ended up talking optimizing team performance and empowerment through ownership and empathetic enablement. Throw in a little Fiddle vs. Violin discussion and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and you've got a recipe for a whole lot of diverse learning and a great day. Give it a listen. Give it a rating. Enjoy!
