A weekly catalyst for CEOs, executives, and the leaders we count on to make change happen.

You’re busy and don't have time for another conference or three-day program, and often those events don’t actually enable change. The Lift is countering that. It’s a concise yet powerful weekly touchpoint that activates you and your organization to improve.

Host Ben Brooks, a former SVP of HR, turned Founder & CEO (and coach of renowned executives) brings a curated cast of impressive executives onto the show where they discuss the challenges you’re likely facing right now. His gift is getting people to really open up, share their best advice, and to inspire Lift listeners to take organizational-level action from what each episode makes clear to them.

Useful reminders of how can you hold people accountable without damaging the relationship, get more conflict into the room, and stay committed to a vision that takes years? Join us, then share with your team.

The focus of change is the organization. The agent of change is you.

  • HBS’ Dr. Amy Edmondson on building teams that learn from failure instead of hiding it
    Nov 3 2026

    Roger Federer only wins 54% of the points he plays. And yet, he wins 80% of his matches. The gap between those two numbers is proof that failure isn’t the opposite of winning; it’s part of the formula.

    Dr. Amy Edmondson has spent her career proving exactly that — and she’s here to help leaders stop running from failure and start designing for it.

    Topic Highlights:

    — Why psychological safety was never about comfort

    — Why “fail fast” is missing the point

    — The Alan Mulally moment: what happens when every status report is green while the company loses $17 billion

    — Stop, challenge, choose: the three-step framework for staying regulated when things go sideways

    — Why Dr. Amy reframes the postmortem entirely (and what she calls it instead)

    Guest Bio:

    Dr. Amy Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School, the person who popularized the concept of “psychological safety” at work, and has been ranked the #1 management thinker in the world.

  • Stop announcing, start persuading: Getting commitment over compliance with Dr. Jay Conger
    Oct 27 2026

    Most leaders think persuasion is a pitch. Jay Conger has spent his career proving it’s something else entirely — and that the difference explains why most major change initiatives quietly fail.

    Jay grew up watching his father host world leaders from Queen Elizabeth to Nikita Khrushchev as a deputy at the State Department. Those dinner table stories became the foundation for a career studying what actually makes people follow you.

    Topic Highlights:

    – Why compliance gets you through the quarter and can cost you your best people first

    – How one unscripted moment can build or destroy your reputation faster than any strategy deck

    – The move that separates leaders who get commitment from those who only get compliance

    – How to persuade a skeptic without arguing via the small-pilot approach

    Guest Bio:

    Jay Conger is a professor at the McKenna School of Business at Claremont McKenna College and one of the world’s leading researchers on leadership, influence, and persuasion. He has advised executives and organizations across industries for decades.

  • Align on The Why: Change leadership as a family adventure story with Katie and Billy Kim
    Oct 20 2026

    Just a couple months ago, Katie and Billy Kim packed up their lives in New Jersey — two careers, two kids, and a mortgage — and moved to Korea.

    To make it happen, they navigated a year-long project involving six trips to the South Korean consulate, an unexpected citizenship complication, a possible military draft, a cancer diagnosis, and ultimately, the realization that fear and inconvenience are the worst reasons to not make something happen.

    Topic Highlights:

    – Why Katie first shut down the idea of moving across the world – and what changed her mind

    – The consulate saga that almost derailed everything

    – The “excuse test”: how to tell whether something is a real constraint or just discomfort

    – The three things the Kims agreed on before they even booked a flight and why most teams only get one of them right

    – Why a shared “why” matters more than a perfect plan when things don’t go as expected

    Guest Bio:

    Katie Kim is a marketing executive and former VP of Global Marketing at MillerKnoll. Billy Kim is an independent investor and the family’s designated maverick.
