Episode Description

What does it really take to lead through change without breaking the trust that makes leadership work? Roxanne Petraeus (CEO @ Ethena) and Melanie Naranjo (VP of People) get personal about tough feedback, cultural transformation, and the messy balance between honesty and empathy.

From HR messages that accidentally sound like resistance to leadership offsites built around connection—not KPIs—this episode dives into what happens when growth demands vulnerability. Expect candid moments, self-deprecating humor, and a few brilliant insights on how to keep trust intact when everything’s shifting under your feet.

Topics: feedback that lands, psychological safety, leadership dynamics, HR perception, motivating leaders, AI in HR, and the emotional side of organizational change.
