Liz regaled us with some amazing stories - including the lessons she learned hawking peanuts at minor league baseball games that she carries with her to this day. She also gave us a fabulous strategy for improving communication and holding better meetings, an acronym called A.G.E.S. But mostly, she was a delight to interview, and she brought a ton of value to the show.

Takeaways

Liz tells us about her days as a peanut vendor for the Tulsa Oilers, a minor league baseball team, where she worked alongside baseball legend Satchel Paige. Liz describes where she thinks the world of work will be in ten years, and why we’re just hitting the tip of the iceberg in terms of workplace flexibility. Liz explains why schedule and location flexibility have to be a give and take, and why the face-to-face experience will never diminish in importance. Liz talks us through the meaning of “brain-friendly work habits." Liz explains why we often get our best ideas in the shower. Liz breaks down A.G.E.S., a strategy for running better meetings and becoming a better presenter. Liz walks us through what it takes to effectively create new habits.
