Show notes

Have workplace expectations changed over time? And from the employer’s point of view, what’s to be gained from building a culture where employees can be authentic? We spoke to Madison Butler, a human resources and recruitment practitioner, about the challenges and benefits of bringing your most authentic self to the workplace." Christine Liu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/liuliuliu/) works best in deep-thinking, fast-moving, mission-driven teams.

Personal highlights include building a scalable way to produce case-study videos featuring Harvard Business School professors, prototyping an Alexa skill designed to help users practice the art of negotiation, and running a group-dynamics experiment within Overwatch. She firmly believes in the transformative power of management and mentoring.
