Interview with Brian Gorman

Every so often, I’ll have coaches or consultants on the One Sharp Sword podcast who parallel the work that I’m into. The reason I choose to bring them on is to amplify a particular message. We can get to the same place and take different paths to get there. And that’s part of the message I want to bring as I introduce you to Brian Gorman. In doing work with leaders and organizations, he’s quick to point out that “it isn’t the organization that changes. It’s people.” In the same way that I ask my clients to think about what they would treasure and encourage listening to the whispers, Brian succinctly queries, “What makes your heart sing?” And I love that question so much because it implies that joy is within the answer! Brian brings a perspective few of us have, simply because of the extra years that he’s lived. He says he gained an awareness of disparity, a phrase I love because it demands action or deliberate inaction. Culture isn’t part of an organization, it lives inside of people. People have memories, desires, and biases. This episode is rich with content. At the bottom of everything, you’ll find empathy and humanity. Enjoy!
