Mike‘s Search For Meaning #35 - Lara Heacock on Niceness vs. Kindness, the Value of Hard Conversations, & the Power of “And”
Lara Heacock is a Leadership Coach who brings over 20 years’ experience in Corporate America. She works with professionals and companies to help them bring kindness into business.
Lara's background includes working in companies ranging from small privately-held firms to multinational organizations. In over a decade of leadership in the talent acquisition industry, she managed geographically dispersed teams, and mentored and coached associates in the US and abroad.
Lara has an MBA, is an ICF credentialed coach (PCC), award-winning writer, speaker, author of the book Practical Kindness, and co-host of the podcast Doing (good) Business.
Lara is obsessed with how we change the culture of corporate America from one that promotes "busy-ness" and burnout as status symbols to one that’s rooted in kindness and humanity. Using her KIND method, Lara works with leaders at the human level, so that they can create teams (and lives!) that thrive. You can download the KIND methodology at LaraHeacock.com and get daily doses of kindness at KindOverMatter.com.
Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the charity is Heroic Gardens. Any and all donations make a difference!
