Ep 163: Dream Work Partnerships

In this episode, I interview Maggie Roach Black in a live conversation about the partnership Maggie and I have built over 18 years of working together.We talk about what makes a work partnership not just functional — but dream-level aligned. The kind of partnership that makes better work, deeper impact, and a lot more joy possible.This is an inside look at how we think, how we collaborate, how we navigate challenges, and how we’ve stayed each other’s primary thought partner and creative partner for almost two decades.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeThe traits and values we find make deeply compatible work partnersHow we manage our minds to get the best out of ourselves and each otherHow we navigate challenges without damaging trust or momentumWhy we’ve been able to sustain a primary work partnership with each other for nearly 20 yearsHow meetings on the beach, working dinners and laughing about EVERYTHING keeps us strongerWhy joy, partnership, and collaboration directly translate into stronger outcomes and better workHow we create deep organizational impact by helping leaders and teams access their bestest bestHow we help mission-driven organizations build cultures where humans actually thriveThe next big idea we’re building together — including retreats in ParisThis conversation is really about what becomes possible when you build work relationships rooted in trust, growth, shared values, and hilariousness. When partnership is aligned, work gets better. Impact gets bigger. And the experience of building something meaningful becomes a whole lot more fun.Maggie Roach BlackMaggie is an executive coach, mom of three wild daughters, holder of multiple degrees from Stanford University, and co-founder of Bloom Leadership.
