How do teams stay connected and engaged during seasons of change? In this episode, Yolanda speaks with Fred Miller, an experienced consultant in organizational development and author of Safe Enough to Soar.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

  • Why interaction safety strengthens collaboration and innovation

  • What it means to unleash agency rather than simply empower employees

  • How leaders can show transparency, listen deeply, and model the change they want to see

  • Why every role matters and how recognition shapes team culture

  • Lessons Fred has learned from decades of consulting with companies like Apple and Oracle

If you’re leading through uncertainty or supporting teams during change, this episode offers practical insight and fresh perspective.
