We were so excited to have Sarah Freiesleben joining us all the way from Copenhagen (even if it was an on-line meeting) so we got a bit carried away...!
In this - our third episode - we reflect on tech versus humanity, does it have to be either or - or rather both - and? The need for more human skills in the future and the importance of both deep expertise and asking the most obvious questions. How can we make space for high energy dynamic meetings and mental well being?
Top of mind for Liz and Katarina this month include: The results of the "Daughter effect" study and the Human Energy Crisis that is happening as we speak.
Enjoy!

Getting to know Liz Rider and Katarina Matson, who are they and what's on the minds of this curious pair? They share some of their proudest moments from their time at Volvo Cars and their future ambitions for this podcast - and that's a lot!
How it started...
One day in April 2020, Liz called Katarina and said she had an idea, which then developed into the live streamed teams show called "WE Connect". An interactive, curious and personal talk show, with guests who shared their experiences and views on how to handle uncertainty, motivation, leadership and much more.
Now, they're both running their own businesses and want to continue the dialogue, always curious to learn more on how to inspire organizations and people to thrive. WE hope you would like to join us!
