Men at Work Podcast, Episode 9 – Chris Downey

This week’s guest is Chris Downey. Chris is a musician turned Leadership Development and Culture Strategist who is a partner at Myriad Consulting.

In our conversation, Chris shares his own journey in becoming a more conscious leader, father and man of character. He also offers up some great wisdom on the following:

  • Why organizations must build cultures where employees can bring their whole selves to work
  • The importance of employee experience over engagement or even retention
  • How presumed gender roles keep workplaces emotionally neutral… and why that’s bad
  • How raising children can apply to leadership development
