Transcript

Vanessa Tanicien, narrating: Welcome to The LeaderLab, the podcast from LifeLabs Learning. You've just discovered your very own leadership development accelerator.

Tania Luna: Yeah, you.

Vanessa Tanicien: If you're a leader, formal or informal, and you believe that life is a lab that we show up to every day to experiment, make discoveries, and keep on getting better for ourselves and others, this is the podcast for you. I'm your host, Vanessa Tanicien, and on this podcast, we'll bring you the most important skills fast, because we know we need great leaders in this world. And no pressure, but we're all counting on you. With me today is Tania Luna, Leadership Researcher and Co-CEO of LifeLabs Learning.

Tania Luna: That's me.

Vanessa Tanicien: Tania, in case folks are wondering what gives us the right to make such grandiose claims, can you tell us a little bit about LifeLabs Learning?

Tania Luna: I sure can. At LifeLabs, we study what exceptional leaders do differently. And one thing that we've come to realize that I find really interesting is that not all skills are created equal. So what we do is we zero in only on the tipping point skills, the smallest changes that tip over into making the biggest impact in the shortest time. And then we take these findings and we transform them into training for managers, execs, and teams. So far we've trained over 200,000 humans across six continents (coming for you next, Antarctica) at more than 800 amazing organizations like Warby Parker, TED, charity: water, Slack, Reddit, Yale. So we have this amazing front row seat to what leadership behaviors work and don't work in everyday life.

Vanessa Tanicien: It just gives me chills just thinking about it. So we've been demystifying what it means to be a great leader, and we think it's so important that we want to share these discoveries far and wide with this podcast. In each episode, just like in a lab, we'll distill the most important insights to catalyze your leadership mastery.

Tania Luna: I'm really digging these lab puns, V.

Vanessa Tanicien: Why thank you.

Tania Luna: I try.

Vanessa Tanicien: So join us in the lab for just 11 minutes or less each week and leave with a small experiment to try and a new skill to add to your leadership toolbox, so you can achieve leadership mastery in just a fraction of the time that it takes most people. So subscribe now and join us.

Tania Luna: See you in the lab.
