Stacey Strickland - Microsoft - Leading with Empathy. What can I do to make you happier?

Stacey Strickland is truly one of the most kind, empathetic, authentic, and generous people I have ever met in business. It was an honor to get to interview her for this week’s episode of Your Career, Unscripted.Stacey is a Director, Customer Success Modern Work/Converged Communications | Americas Enterprise at Microsoft. If you want to learn about leading with authenticity and care, viewing bumps in the road as opportunities for growth, the ability to read people as a superpower, the importance of listening to your gut, from someone who is genuinely passionate about mentorship, and understanding the value in asking your team - ‘What can I do to make you happier?’ I recommend listening to this episode!My favorite quote from the episode “You're never going to grow if you don't do things that scare you or challenge you or make you uncomfortable. I encourage being uncomfortable.. If my kids have heard me once, they've heard me a million times say, the worst somebody can tell you is no. If you want something, if ask. If you have a question, ask. Even if you don't know what the question is you wanna ask, say that. Articulate it. I'm really struggling here, and I don't know why, but help me here. And then probably one of the most things is I don't believe, as humans, we were meant to go at things alone at all”Please subscribe to my Substack to stay posted on episodes https://substack.com/@JANEBERNHARDand share this post and episode with anyone who you think may find it helpful!I am creating this show as an Industry Explorer in collab with @texasimmersive at the @utaustintx thanks for your support and collaboration!If you like the content, check out TXI’s Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/texasimmersive for more thought leadership on the immersive field!
