AI Workplace and Culture Series 06 - Wrap Up

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:22:34 GMT

We're wrapping up Season 4 and our AI, Workplace and Culture series with a look back at our biggest takeaways from each guest. This is a quick, practical roundup of what stuck with us, what we've already put into action, and why this conversation isn't going anywhere.

What We Cover

Martha Shaughnessy, Founder & CEO of The Key PR – Communication has to be at the table early, especially during change. AI is both an opportunity for tremendous good and a source of real risk. Diverse lived experience is what helps organizations navigate that well.

Andrea Jordan, Founder & CEO of Empathium – You can't remove humans from the loop and expect it to work. AI also has underexplored potential to help us develop emotional intelligence, especially in high-stakes fields like healthcare and education.

Jordache Johnson, Never Tech Behind – You don't learn AI from one course. Small experiments build skills over time. His ADAPT framework is a practical starting point for integrating AI with intention, not just access.

Nikki Silvestri, Founder & CEO of Soil and Shadow – Environmental impact isn't an all-or-nothing conversation. Systems thinking means holding the full picture. And if your organization doesn't have an AI policy, people are already doing whatever they're doing.

Key Takeaway

Whether you're bullish or bearish, not engaging is not a neutral position. Know where you stand, understand what's happening in your space, and lead from there.

AI Workplace and Culture Series 02 - The Commons or the Wild West? Ethics, Community & AI

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 14:35:00 GMT

We're closing out our AI and Culture series with Nikki Silvestri, CEO and Founder of Soil and Shadow, international keynote speaker, and environmental advocate. Nikki has spent her career asking hard questions about who benefits and who bears the cost, and she brings that same lens to AI. This conversation covers environmental impact, personal responsibility, and what it means to lead with ethics when technology is moving this fast.

What We Cover

The Commons vs. the Wild West – AI is actually both happening simultaneously, and the education gap is the biggest driver of why.

The urgency is real – The pressure to adopt AI isn't false. Productivity expectations are shifting and jobs are being replaced. But individual blame isn't the answer.

Environmental impact in context – Data centers use energy and water, but so does streaming, Zoom, and Spotify. A systems view means holding the whole picture, not just the sound bite.

The regional advocacy gap – Placing data centers in drought-prone or already-stressed regions has real consequences, and local advocacy matters more than most people realize.

BYO AI and Shadow Tech – 70-75% of organizations have no AI policies, but the same percentage of people are using it individually. That gap is where risk lives.

Using AI to reclaim your time – Nikki's personal case for how AI is giving her back the mental and psychic energy that intellectual work used to drain, especially for women and neurodivergent leaders.

What to actually do – Understand your footprint, advocate for democratic infrastructure, use free templates to get your team aligned before you spend money on outside help.

Bullish or bearish? – Both. The power of the tool is real. The incentives of the companies building it are not in your favor.

Key Takeaway Growth mindset. A lot is changing fast and it is scary. Stay at the growth edge, but you don't have to make yourself unsafe to do it.

AI Workplace and Culture Series 04 - From Fear to Fluency: Leading AI Adoption

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:53:48 GMT

This episode is for leaders and individuals who know AI is changing everything — but aren't sure where to start, or why their organization's adoption keeps stalling. We sat down with Jordache Johnson, founder and CEO of Never Tech Behind, to break down what AI fluency actually means, why most transformations fail, and what it takes to build a culture where AI works for your people, not around them.

The Big Question

How do leaders move their organizations — and themselves — from fear of AI to actual fluency?

What We Cover

AI fluency isn't about knowing the code — it's about knowing when and how to apply AI to solve real problems, and having the confidence to experiment without fear.
Compound learning is the real unlock — you don't learn AI from a course. You learn it by doing small experiments and letting your skills stack over time.
AI transformation is a 70% people problem — if your people don't trust it, understand it, or feel safe using it, the tools don't matter.
The ADAPT Framework — Jordache's system for building an AI-powered, human-always culture: Assess, Develop, Analyze, Plan, Train.
What keeps him up at night — Jordache gets real about the risks he does and doesn't worry about, and why he built his whole company around the idea that no one gets left behind.

Key Takeaway

Don't wait for your employer to give you permission. Start experimenting now — small projects, dedicated time, genuine curiosity. The compounding effect is real and available to everyone.

AI Workplace and Culture Series 03 - Beyond Efficiency: AI as a Catalyst for Empathy

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Andrea Jordan is the Founder and CEO of Empathium, and she's building something radically different in the AI space. While everyone else is focused on automation and efficiency, Andrea is building emotionally intelligent AI for the moments that matter most.

What we loved about this conversation is Andrea's willingness to sit with the tension. She's not blindly pro-AI, and she's wrestling with big questions about what it means to use these tools to create more equitable systems.

What We Talked About

Andrea walked us through why companies are rolling back their automation efforts—turns out removing humans from human care is an expensive mistake. We explored how AI can actually help people develop empathy, attunement, and relational confidence instead of replacing those skills. She shared why Empathium is designed to work in places with limited or no connectivity (because if it only works in optimal conditions, who are we really serving?). And we grappled with Audre Lorde's wisdom about the "master's tools" and what it means to build from inside systems we're trying to change.

Key Takeaways

The self-checkout, robo-customer-service era taught companies a hard lesson: you can't just remove humans from the loop and expect it to work. Empathium is building on that recognition—not automating human interaction, but attuning humans themselves.

AI's best qualities are agility, adaptability, and scale. The question is whether we use those to replace human connection or to support it. Andrea is betting on support—building tools that help people show up better in high-stakes moments.

If we want better systems, we need tools that make emotionally intelligent care scalable. That means designing for healthcare, education, and human services where communication failures have the highest human and economic costs.

Empathium is designed as a global product that works without constant connectivity. As Andrea puts it: "If we can't foster human connection there, are we really doing the work?"

On using the "master's tools": Andrea openly wrestles with this tension. Her take? She's not trying to dismantle the house but to "make space for all of us to live in it." Use the tools we have strategically while staying grounded in intention.

AI isn't the answer to everything. We need critical thinking about which tools to use when—and to recognize when we're using a hammer for a wrench's job.

About Andrea Jordan

Andrea's background spans social work, behavioral health, and systems-level leadership. She specializes in designing products at the intersection of trauma-informed care, AI, and high-stakes communication. With Empathium, she's developing adaptive emotional intelligence infrastructure focused on where communication failures cost the most. Her belief is simple: if we want better systems, we need to build tools that make emotionally intelligent care scalable—not by replacing humans, but by building a bridge to human connection.

AI Workplace and Culture Series 02 - Hype Meets Humanity: AI & Startup Culture with Martha Shaughnessy

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 08:01:00 GMT

We're kicking off our AI Workplace and Culture series with Martha Shaughnessy, founder and CEO of The Key PR. Martha isn't just observing the AI transformation—she's living it. Her firm works with tech startups building with AI, and she's implementing AI tools in her own company.

What we really appreciated about our conversation is Martha's refusal to give easy answers. She's both optimistic and pessimistic about where we're headed.

What We Talked About

Martha walked us through what's actually happening in the startup world right now (spoiler: it's all AI, all the time). We dug into why communications needs to be involved at the earliest stages of strategy, not bolted on at the end. She shared her framework for crisis communication when the tools and rules keep changing. And we explored what it means to co-create work when everything is shifting underneath us.

Martha also brought what she calls her "punk ass perspective" on who gets to dominate the tech conversation—and why that matters for all of us.

Key Takeaways

Most companies are either building with AI from the ground up or retrofitting existing products. The Wild West analogy applies, except those already on top (Google, Amazon, OpenAI) have such a dramatic lead that the playing field is fundamentally different.

For most people, technology is magic. They don't care how it works—they care why it matters. The job is finding both the selfish impact (how it affects you personally) and the global impact (how it makes the world better).

In crisis communication, simple truth beats complicated explanations every time. Over-explaining makes people suspicious. And sometimes you just have to take it—because if you messed up, someone's going to be mad.

The "get it off my desk" jobs are most at risk. But curiosity, creativity, and systems thinking? Those become more valuable than ever. Martha's hope is that we graduate from productivity-first culture and reinvest in what makes us human.

AI can do tremendous good—and tremendous harm. From literacy tutoring for kids with dyslexia to environmental damage from energy demands, this technology cuts both ways. We need visionary leadership and diverse perspectives in the room to navigate it well.

Communications needs to be at the table early. Not as a bolt-on at the end, but at the concept stage when you're still figuring things out. That's where you catch potential crises before they happen.

About Martha Shaughnessy

Martha is the founder and CEO of The Key PR, a Bay Area-based communications firm she founded in 2017 with a mission to deliver high-impact, no-BS communications to her clients. Over the past 20+ years, Martha has worked with tech companies, startups, and nonprofits, helping them navigate the complex intersection of technology, culture, and human impact. She specializes in helping organizations tell stories that matter—finding the human thread in even the most technical products.

Company break structure – CoCreate Work closes three times a year with everyone off at the same time.

Resisting productivity creep – Why we chose to stay offline instead of "just doing a few more things."

Seven types of rest – Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's framework. Schedule rest intentionally if productivity is a core value.

Meeting yourself where you are – Create systems that work for you instead of judging yourself.

Setting intentions for 2026 – Chloe: "Do Epic Shit." La'Kita: Vision boards. Intentions become decision-making filters.

Key Takeaway

Company-wide breaks work. Share your intentions to make them more powerful. What we intend happens.

014: La'Kita's Favorite Podcasts of 2025

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 21:59:18 GMT

La'Kita shares her favorite podcast episodes from 2025—the ones that taught her something new, challenged her thinking, and offered frameworks she immediately put into practice. All episodes feature guests (a nod to the power of co-creation), and each brings lessons on bold leadership, thinking bigger, and living authentically.

Coming next: Chloe's top TikTok creators of 2025.

Episode 1: How to 10X Your Life by Doing Less, Not More

Podcast: She's So Lucky with Les Alfred

Guest: Rachel Rogers

Rachel shares her personal grief story and talks about 10X thinking—instead of asking "how do I double this?" ask "what would it take to 10X this?" A shift from incremental growth to exponential possibility.

Also covered: The "who, not how" principle. When you get stuck on how to do something, you're asking the wrong question. The right question is who can help you do this?

Key question: What would the 10X version of your 2026 goal look like?

Episode 2: Make Better Decisions Faster

Podcast: The Jasmine Star Show

Guest: Dr. Alan Barnard

La'Kita immediately re-listened to this episode and sent it to five people. The frameworks are that good.

The 100 Initiative Exercise: List everything demanding your attention. Ask: how does this help me achieve my one big goal? Most things won't. Get ruthlessly clear about what actually moves you forward.

"It's Impossible Unless": When someone says something is impossible, respond with "It's impossible unless..." and let the silence sit. This moves subconscious limitations into conscious problem-solving.

Episode 3: The Danger of A B Plus Life

Podcast: Becoming You with Suzy Welch

Suzy emphasizes how easy it is to get caught up in a B+ life. If you're at a C or C- life, you'll feel urgency for change. But if you're in a B+ life, you might feel comfortable enough not to push yourself toward what you really want.

The 85th Birthday Question: What would make you cry from regret on your 85th birthday? If you didn't take the risk, didn't accept the challenge, what would haunt you? If there's an answer, you might be living a B+ life.

Episode 4: Love, Family and Business: How To Work With a Partner

Podcast: Aspire with Emma Grede

Guest: Jens Grede

Emma and Jens are life partners who also work together in business (both involved with SKIMS and Good American). They talk about managing busy lives, family, and business partnership—acknowledging nothing is perfect.

Key principle on decision-making: Whoever cares most or has the most knowledge makes the final decision. You can have debate and friction (which is valuable), but ultimately you need role clarity and respect for expertise.

On anxiety: Jens shares his experience with anxiety, how he processes it, how he's learned to leverage it as a superpower, and how he takes care when it becomes overwhelming.

Episode 5: America Is at a Breaking Point and I'm Deeply Concerned About the State of the Country

Podcast: The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett

Guest: Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris brings transparency and vulnerability in telling her own story post-election.

Core principle (from her mother): "Don't let anyone tell you who you are. You tell them who you are." She decided it was important to control her own narrative: "History is going to write about the 107 days, and I'm not going to let that history be told without my voice being present."

On confidence: When you walk in the room, put your chin up, shoulders back, and remind yourself that you belong in any room you're in. You have something to contribute.

Closing Thoughts

All five episodes demonstrate the power of co-creation—great hosts bring their own story but leverage their curiosity to bring out the magic in others.

Your turn: What is your "it's impossible unless" question?

013: Our Favorite Reads of 2025

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 15:33:00 GMT

This episode is our last combined episode of the year, and we're closing it out by sharing the books that shaped our thinking, challenged our perspectives, and kept us turning pages late into the night. From nonfiction that gave us language for the work we do to fiction that transported us to other worlds, these are the reads that resonated most with us in 2025.

La'Kita's Top Reads

On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder

20 lessons from the 20th century on resisting authoritarianism. The lesson that stuck most: "Do not obey in advance"—don't comply or shift norms before you're required to. A call to action that feels urgent and applicable beyond politics.

Living in Wisdom by Devi Brown

A guide to embodying your authentic self, embracing grief, and developing self-mastery. All the work is internal—journaling, meditation, being in nature—pulled together in a comprehensive way that challenges you to make these practices a way of being, not just productivity tools.

Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler by Susana M. Morris

A biography that explores how Octavia Butler lived her life—her commitment to her calling despite doubt and rejection, her practice of manifestation ("so be it, see to it"), and how she created her own circumstances. Essential reading for anyone interested in creativity and creative leadership.

Authentic by Jodi-Ann Burey

A powerful exploration of how workplaces use "authenticity" disingenuously and what it actually means to be authentic. Filled with stories from women of color, Black women, and disabled women. Key line: "Authenticity invites us to declare I am not a worker, I am a person at work."

The Source by Dr. Tara Swart

Combines neuroscience with manifestation and intention-setting. A former psychiatrist turned coach who makes clear these are ancient ideas that neuroscience is just now catching up to. Step-by-step guidance on visualization, intention setting, and rewiring your brain.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty (Fiction)

A woman stands up on a flight and predicts exactly when passengers will die—and the predictions start coming true. Weaves together fate, science, coincidence, and anxiety in a page-turner that explores how much we make our own luck.

Chloe's Top Reads

Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams

An eye-opening indictment of Facebook and tech culture that shifted perspectives on Meta products. A reminder that what we see isn't the whole story and it's worth digging deeper.

Be Ready When Luck Happens by Ina Garten

A memoir that beautifully acknowledges the role of both hard work and luck in success. Ina's honest about being in the right place at the right time with the right opportunities—and the privilege that created those circumstances.

The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson

The story of the Great Migration of African Americans from the 1940s-70s. A transformational read that raised the question: why wasn't this taught in school? Essential reading, especially for white folks in the US, to understand systemic racism and how recent this history is.

Uncompete by Ruchika Malhotra

Challenges everything we've been told about the benefits of competition. From being placed in "gifted and talented" programs as kids to operating in capitalist systems as adults, we're set up to compete—but this book offers a different path through abundance and collaboration.

The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson (Fiction)

Science fiction exploring different timelines and realities. Character-driven with themes of identity, privilege, and colonialism. The kind of fiction that makes you pause and think—and talk about what you're reading.

012: How Do I Define Success?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 14:54:00 GMT

This episode is for anyone staring down the end of the year wondering if they "succeeded"—comparing themselves to external markers, measuring their worth by what didn't happen, or feeling behind despite doing the work. We explore how to define success on your own terms, celebrate what actually matters, and set yourself up for meaningful progress ahead.

The Big Question

How do I define success as I reflect on the past year and plan for the next?

What We Cover

Ground yourself in your actual goals – Compare yourself to what you originally set out to do, not what others achieved or external markers say you should have done.
Account for pivots – Document when your plans changed. Those adjustments often represent good leadership, not failure.
Balance input and output goals – Focus on what you control (inputs like sending weekly newsletters) alongside desired outcomes (outputs like business growth). Input goals give you agency and realistic measures of success.
Get specific with your vision – "Getting a job" isn't enough. Define the job you want, at the company you want, doing work you want to do.
Give yourself grace – Sometimes success is showing up through a hard year. No one else knows the battles you fought.

Key Takeaway

Success isn't just about hitting January's goals. It's about acknowledging what shifted, celebrating the inputs you controlled, and defining what matters to you—not what external markers say should matter.

011: What Do I Do, in the Moment, When I Feel Activated?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 14:44:00 GMT

This episode is for anyone who finds themselves caught off guard in meetings or difficult conversations—when your chest tightens, your mind races, and you struggle to respond from your best self. We talk about why activation happens, what to do in the moment, and how to build capacity so these moments happen less often.

The Big Question

What do I do in the moment when I'm having a conversation and I feel activated?

What We Cover

Recognize the fear response – Activation is your body going into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. The first sign is somatic—chest tightening, shallow breathing, body tension.
Use breath to get grounded – Box breathing (in 4, hold 4, out 4, hold 4) gets you back in your body. Then assess: Can I pause this conversation?
Get curious, not defensive – Ask clarifying questions and challenge your assumptions. Someone asking lots of questions may be seeking understanding, not attacking you.
Do the deeper work later – After the moment passes, explore what activated you, what old story you're protecting, and what capacity-building you need.
Build resilience when you're calm – Use assessments and tools, practice self-awareness, celebrate small wins, and don't underestimate the basics like sleep and hydration.

Key Takeaway

In the moment: breathe, pause if possible, get curious. Long-term: build capacity through self-awareness and tools so you respond from your best self, not your scared self.

010: What If People See the Things I'm Not Good At?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:00:00 GMT

This episode is for anyone who feels pressure to excel at everything and worries about exposing their weaknesses. We talk about why trying to be good at all things is exhausting and unsustainable, how to identify and own your actual strengths, and how to build teams where people operate in their zones of genius instead of striving for impossible perfection.

The Big Question

What if people see the things I'm not good at?

What We Cover

Start with strengths, not gaps – Before you can productively address weaknesses, you need clarity on what you're genuinely great at. Use assessments, reach out to past colleagues, or ask: "What did you love about working with me?"
Name your zones – Use the four zones from The Big Leap: incompetence, competence, excellence, and genius. This language gives you permission to acknowledge gaps without shame.
Challenge the "good at everything" trap – Corporate performance reviews and business culture often push people to rate well across the board. This drives exhaustion instead of excellence.
Model transparency as a leader – The best leaders openly acknowledge what isn't their strength and point to team members who excel in those areas. Teams respect this far more than false competence.
Build genius teams – Stop looking for people who you think are geniuses in every category. Instead, bring together diverse strengths that complement each other.
Get realistic about what "perfect" means – Ask: Does this actually need to be perfect? Or is 80% good enough for the business goal? Arbitrary standards of perfection create unnecessary pressure.
Notice your personal signals – Pay attention to when insecurity kicks in. For Chloe, it's "I can do that too!" For La'Kita, it's reaching for perfection in areas with too big a gap. Learn your pattern.
Prevent burnout through alignment – Burnout happens when you spend energy reaching for things that aren't possible. Operating in your zone of genius creates long-term sustainability.

Key Takeaway

Transparency about strengths and gaps + shared language + genius teams = better outcomes, less burnout, and permission to be human.

009: What Am I Being Called to Do?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 14:33:00 GMT

This episode is for anyone who feels that nudge toward something new and isn’t totally sure how to move forward. We talk about how to trust the calling, work through limiting beliefs, and put real structure around your next step.

The Big Question

What am I being called to do next, and how do I actually get there?

What We Cover

Trust the vision – If you have the idea, it’s for you. That calling is data. Start by deciding you’re willing to explore it.
Surface the blockers – Fear, other people’s opinions, the job market, sunk cost — name what’s keeping the idea in the background so you can address it directly.
Come back to values – Ask, “Which of my values is this connected to?” When your calling is values-aligned, affirmations and decisions get easier.
Use a framework that fits you – You can come at transition from spiritual, practical, or energetic angles. Pick the tool that helps you see your next move.
Vision it in detail – Picture the future — what it looks like, how you feel, who’s with you. Visioning pulls the goal from “idea” into “reality.”
Make personal working agreements – These are your values in action. Example: “I don’t say yes to work that compromises my freedom,” or “I don’t train injured.”
Get support – Name what help you need — partner, coach, community, logistics — so the transition doesn’t sit on willpower alone.

Key Takeaway

Calling + values + vision + agreements + support = a workable path through transition.

008 - Why Should I Invest In Myself?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 13:27:00 GMT

Welcome to a special episode of The Co-Creators Podcast! This week, we're diving into a question that could change everything: Why should you invest in yourself?

You may have noticed we didn't release an episode last week—and here's why: we were walking the talk! We invested in ourselves by attending a powerful retreat with our coach and coaching collective, and what we experienced was too good not to share.

In this episode, you'll hear from incredible leaders who opened up about their own journeys with self-investment. Their stories are raw, real, and refreshingly different—each one offering a unique perspective that might be exactly what you need to hear right now.

Featured Guests:

007: How Can I Be Better Prepared in This Environment?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 15:00:00 GMT

This week, we're exploring how leaders can navigate unexpected disruptions and rapid change, drawing from The Prepared Leader by Erica H. James and Lynn Perry Wooten.

The Big Question: How can leaders stay grounded and prepared when change hits fast?

The 9 Skills of Crisis Management

Phase 1: Detection

Sense-making - Scan for early warning signs
Perspective-taking - Gather diverse viewpoints

Phase 2: Preparation & Prevention

Influence - Build trust now, not during crisis
Organizational agility - Give people autonomy
Creativity - Reframe problems as opportunities

Phase 3: Damage Containment

Effective communication - Stay calm, be transparent
Risk-taking - Make decisions without complete certainty

Phase 4: Recovery

Resilience - Support autonomy and confidence
Learning & reflection - Run retrospectives

Key Takeaway

Hope is an action word. Build these skills before crisis hits. If you micromanage, you're not building agility. Recovery isn't optional—make space for it.

006: (Repost) How Do I Work Through Burnout as a Leader?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 13:22:38 GMT

We are re-sharing this episode from Season 1 about burnout as we are seeing a lot of it right now with our clients and partners. If you would like to hear more about burnout, check out Season 1. In this conversation, we wanted to remind you of the five non-traditional signs of burnout we highlighted in our very first episode:

Key Contributors of Burnout

You’re too far away from impact
You are not living or leading as the type of leader that you want to be
Are you living and addressing the other areas of your life?
Working against your work style
Doing too much on your own

In this week's episode, we dive into these contributing factors and share tips on how you can work through burnout.

005: Why Do We Celebrate Wins?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 13:07:11 GMT

This week, we're challenging the deficit-focused mindset that dominates work culture and exploring why celebrating wins is essential for sustainable success and growth.

The Big Question: Why do we celebrate wins?

The Core Reasons:

Affirmation for the future: Celebrating wins proves you can achieve what you set out to do, building confidence for future challenges.
Gratitude and ownership: Acknowledging wins helps you recognize what's going well and your role in making it happen.
Breaking the negativity loop: Our performance-driven culture over-indexes on what's wrong. Celebrating wins gives you energy to tackle challenges without burning out.
The psychology works: Your brain can't process negatives—it naturally does more of what you focus on. Focus on wins, create more wins.

How to Start Celebrating Wins Today:

Find your people: Identify someone who will genuinely celebrate with you, not diminish your success.
Write them down: Journal your wins daily or weekly to reinforce what you did to make success possible.
Bring it to your team: Start meetings with wins to model this practice for others.
Hold the space sacred: When celebrating wins, resist listing what could be improved. Let wins stand on their own.

Key Takeaway: Celebrating wins and continuous improvement aren't mutually exclusive—they're partners. Stop waiting to acknowledge success. You'll have more energy, clarity, and momentum for everything else.

Your Assignment This Week: Write down your wins, share them with someone, celebrate with your team, and email us your wins at podcast@cocreatework.com—we'll celebrate with you!

004: Why Do I Treat Asking for Help Like Admitting Defeat?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 13:00:00 GMT

This week, we explore why asking for help feels like admitting defeat and how this mindset keeps us isolated when we could be achieving breakthrough results through collaboration.

The Big Question: Why do I treat asking for help like admitting defeat?

The 4 Key Blocks:

Fear of being a burden: Remember that people generally want to help, and healthy relationships require reciprocity—let others contribute to you too.
Not wanting unwanted advice: Set clear context about what you need—processing time, brainstorming, validation, or specific solutions.
Feeling like failure: Challenge the core belief that your value comes from figuring everything out independently. Ask yourself: Do I want to be right or successful?
Concern about others' perceptions: Reframe asking for help as co-creation and inclusion. The strongest leaders collaborate and show vulnerability.

Remember: Asking for help isn't defeat—it's how you create something bigger than you could build alone. You deserve support, and collaboration leads to breakthrough results.

Key Takeaway: The sum is greater than the parts. Stop treating independence as strength and start treating co-creation as the path to your best work.

003: Can I Square Ambition and Sustainability?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:00:23 GMT

This week, we talk about the tension between going all-in on your biggest goals and avoiding burnout—especially as we see conversations about "the great lock-in" trending.

The Big Question Can I square ambition and sustainability, or do I have to choose one over the other?

The 4 Steps

Get intentional about your vision: Write down your short-term and long-term goals, both personally and professionally. What's your bigger purpose? What do you want to accomplish?
Think co-creation, not solo execution: Identify your zone of genius and find people to fill the gaps. This applies to both business and personal life—you don't have to do everything yourself.
Build your wraparound support system: Map out the professional, personal, self-care, and community support you need. Remember: this doesn't always mean spending money—leverage community, skill swaps, and existing relationships.
Create a decision-making matrix: Establish clear boundaries and criteria for saying yes or no to opportunities. Ask: Does this align with my top 3-5 goals? Is this the right time, partner, and place?

Remember: You can do it all, but you can't do it all at one time. Balance isn't static—it changes based on your season and priorities.

Key Takeaway: Don't limit your ambition by what you think is sustainable. Have the ambition first, then figure out how to make it sustainable through intentionality, co-creation, and community.

002: I’m Not Sure I Can Do This. Now What?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 13:00:00 GMT

This week, we dig into a line we hear often from leaders and founders: I’m not sure I can do this.

The Big Question

What do you do when the next step feels bigger than your current confidence?

The 3 Moves

Gather evidence from your wins: List three moments of exponential growth. For each, name what about you made it possible.
Set a clear intention: Write and say: I am going to do this. I will figure it out. Share it with one trusted person.
Take the next right step: Choose one action you can do in 20 minutes. Put it on your calendar today.

Remember

Mindset first. Skills and tools work best after the decision is made.

Key Takeaway

Your past successes are proof. Intention changes how you move. Start small and start today.

001: When You're the Leader But Struggle to Own Your Authority

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 12:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to Season 4! This week, we discuss a question we hear frequently from our coaching clients: What does it mean when you have all the authority on paper, but still feel like you can't make decisions?

The Big Question

What does it mean when you are in the position of authority, but you don't feel like you can make decisions or feel empowered?

The 3-Step Process to Reclaim Your Authority

Step 1: Identify What's Blocking You

Ask yourself: "What's keeping me from making these decisions?" Tools like journaling and asking deeper questions can help you get clarity.

Step 2: Address the Limiting Beliefs

Common blocks include fear of not being liked, not wanting to be wrong, or not trusting yourself. Once you identify these beliefs, you can address them through approaches like custom affirmations or professional support when needed.

Step 3: Build Skills and Tools

After addressing mindset, you may find gaps in practical skills like having difficult conversations or making structured decisions—and that's when building those capabilities becomes essential.

Remember: You must address the mindset first. All the skills won't help if you haven't made the decision to step into your authority.

Key Takeaway

The blocker is usually something deeper than the surface-level decision. Start with introspection, get clarity through journaling, and take imperfect action.

Season 4 Intro: The 8 Principles of Co-Creation

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:00:00 GMT

In this episode of The CoCreators Podcast, we dive into what co-creation really means and how to put it into practice. Whether you're a consultant, an HR leader, or a founder building your culture from the ground up, this episode offers the essential principles that guide effective, sustainable co-creation at work.

We share our definition of co-creation and why it’s more than collaboration. We walk through the 8 principles that help organizations lead with culture, embed equity, and build trust. We also talk about how to move from top-down leadership to a more agile, high-impact approach, and we offer real-life stories of co-creation in action from our work with clients and leaders.

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the difference between collaboration and co-creation, a framework to evaluate and improve how your team builds together, and practical ways to start applying co-creation in your own work today:

The 8 Principles of Co-Creation are:

Culture as Strategy
Beyond Thought Leadership
Transformation Over Transactions
Responsive Approach
Accountability and Ownership
Collective Leadership
Acknowledge the Good Work
Radical Inclusion

We use these principles in every part of our work, and you’ll hear us return to them throughout the season. In future episodes, we’ll talk with founders, consultants, HRBPs, and culture builders who are living these ideas and shaping the future of work every day.

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 07:01:22 GMT

The Workplace Revolution 03: Fighting Workplace Burnout and Shaping the Future of Work

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 27 May 2024 07:01:00 GMT

Today, we're turning our attention to burnout, a problem plaguing more than 40% of employees, according to a recent poll by Future Forum. Join us as we shed light on the overlooked systemic causes of burnout, rather than just the individual-level issues. We explore the challenges posed by the pandemic and the pressures of unrealistic expectations and perfectionism. Listen in as we argue for more systems-level solutions.

Discover why it's vital for people to show up as themselves, understand and appreciate others' perspectives, and establish working agreements to prevent false urgency and overworking. You don't want to miss this critical conversation about redesigning the future of work to reduce stress, burnout, and promote a healthier, more effective working environment.

The Workplace Revolution 02: The Power and Impact of Purpose-Driven Organizations to Change the Future of How We Work

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 20 May 2024 07:01:00 GMT

Can you imagine a workplace where purpose is the driving force, where every team member is connected to a shared vision, and where fulfillment is not just a buzzword but a lived experience? This is not some utopian dream, but a reality that forward-thinking organizations are looking to create. Listen in as we unpack the transformative power of purpose in the workplace. We'll share statistics, like how employees experience 64% higher levels of fulfillment when they identify as purpose-driven, and discuss how purpose is the foundation for direction, identity, and culture in an organization.

We'll also touch on the power of storytelling in solidifying the messages of purpose. This episode will not only change how you view work, but also inspire you to create a workplace environment that is driven by purpose, passion, and fulfillment.

The Workplace Revolution 01: Friction Can Support Growth: Is it Time to Shift Our Perspective?

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 13 May 2024 07:01:00 GMT

Get ready to flip your workplace mindset with us! In this episode, we’re talking about something unconventional - celebrating those bumps and hiccups at work that we often label as "friction." What if we “challenge” the idea that friction is a problem, and consider how friction can ignite innovation. We'll dig into the impact of communication styles, differing generational expectations, and lived experience on the creative process. Discover how we can craft working agreements that support a diverse set of perspectives and personality types, whether you're an introvert or an extrovert. Plus, we'll emphasize the importance of accountability and respect, focusing on ideas rather than personal conflicts when differences arise.

By the time you finish listening, you'll have a fresh perspective on how friction can be a driving force for innovation, creativity, and teamwork in your workplace.

Hello CoCreators!

This week's episode is a replay from last summer because it was a great conversation and we thought it would be a perfect podcast episode for May which is Mental Health Awareness month!

We are discussing all things well-being, including your personal rating across several of the dimensions of well-being:

Mental and emotional health
Physical health
Work
Sense of purpose
Social well-being

In the episode we walk you through tips and strategies for improving your well-being in small and sustainable ways. We also walk you through our recommendations for supporting your team and their well-being, including some mistakes we see some leaders make and how to avoid them.

When we recognize and address the different areas of well-being you create more time and space while leveraging systems to support you and your team’s well-being. It’s our intention that after listening and taking action from this episode you will feel more calm and grounded, and build a culture that is also calm, grounded, and sustainable!

Join us for Coffee and Conversation with Women In Business on May 16th in Seattle at Greenwood Sip and Ship. La'Kita and Chloe will both be there and would love to see you, so please be sure to say hello!

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 07:00:00 GMT

In this episode, Chrissie and Eliya are sharing the story of how they became partners, what considerations they made in forming their partnership, and the benefits and challenges that come with being business partners. Chrissie and Eliya have so many insightful tips, as well as what worked for them and what didn’t. We loved this conversation!

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 07:00:00 GMT

This week on the podcast, Chloe is talking all about personality and workstyle assessments. No, she’s not going to tell you which one is the best (because “best” is relative to what your needs are), but she is going to tell you all about the ways in which using assessments can help you and your team, the limitations of these types of assessments, how not to use them, and what to look for when deciding what assessment might be right for your needs.

If you’d like to have a conversation about how and which assessment can best support you and your team’s or business’s needs, you can schedule a consultation with Chloe directly here.

028: Building Your Support System - Academic Coaching as a Resource for Parents & Caregivers with CEO Caroline Sumners

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 22 May 2023 07:00:00 GMT

This week on the podcast we continue our conversation about planning for your summer and identifying various types of support systems.

We have a powerful conversation about support for caregivers and parents with Caroline Sumners the founder and CEO of Empower Academic Coaching. She and her team help middle and high school students with customized strategies for learning and achieving their academic goals in a peaceful way. She also helps parents and family members step outside of the homework monitor role so they can build great relationships with their teens.

In this episode, Caroline joins us to share her insights on all the ways academic coaching can be a support system for your teen, you, and your family including creating space for you to step outside of the homework monitor role.

We also talk to Caroline about her own journey as an entrepreneur; where she finds support, the values that inspire and motivate her, the ways in which she’s centered inclusion and belonging, as well as her vision of the future of the type of work she does.

Join us as we explore the intersection of business and education and how we can prioritize learning and development in all aspects of our lives.

You find Caroline on instagram at @empoweracademic and on LinkedIn. And, as mentioned in the episode, you can find the Academic Skills Quiz on her website, Empower Academic Coaching, where you can identify whether your child would benefit from some external support on academics.

During this episode, Caroline also referenced Trudi Lebron and her book, The Antiracist Business Book as resources that have helped her in her DEI journey and approach.

024: How Planning Keeps You Out of the F.E.A.R. Cycle so You Can Build with L.O.V.E.

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 01 May 2023 07:00:00 GMT

This week on the podcast we are thrilled to be sharing our conversation with Jadah Sellner. If you’re not already familiar with Jadah, she is a bestselling author, business coach, international keynote speaker, TEDx presenter, poet, and host of the Lead with Love® podcast. She's the author of SHE BUILDS: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life. As the founder of Jadah Sellner Media, Inc. and She Builds Collective, Jadah helps women build their businesses and their lives in a way that works for them—with love.

In this episode, Jadah shares how planning can transform your business (and your life) by helping you overcome F.E.A.R (Forcing, Exhaustion, Avoidance, Rigidity), avoid burnout, keep you grounded, and provide clarity and direction. She walks through the five steps of her quarterly planning process. She also shares her insights about the importance of your support community and the three types of people you need in that community. Finally, we learn about her L.O.V.E framework - Lead, Optimize, Visualize, Expand and how critical it is to not outsource our intuition to other people and define our vision from the inside.

Tune in to hear about all of this as well as Jadah’s goal for writing SHE BUILDS: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life and her top three leadership attributes.

This is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

014: Danielle Jenkins Henry on the Growth and Magic of Transitions

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 08:00:00 GMT

Hello CoCreators!

As we approach the beginning of a new year, many of us often view this time as a crucial period of transition. This is the time where we are reflecting on the past year, coming up with New Year’s resolutions and planning ahead. This week we had a rich conversation with Danielle Jenkins Henry on this period of Transition, and some ways we might think about and plan for transitions in the future.

Danielle Jenkins Henry, LMFTA is an award-winning wellness consultant, adjunct professor, empowerment coach and speaker, and licensed marriage & family therapist associate. As a former 6-year marketing executive at Microsoft, she draws from personal racial experiences in tech and speaks up to empower the voices of those who have been disempowered by advancing the mental health field and corporate cultures forward in addressing negative racial outcomes and other systemic symptoms resulting from institutional racism. Danielle was a 2020-2021 AAMFT Minority Fellow, is trained in EMDR, and has presented her work at state conferences.

Danielle’s foundational thought is that transition is rooted in transformation. You do not want to miss this discussion as La’Kita, Chloe, and Danielle talk about the three different types of transition, what we should be thinking about during times of transition, and key health indicators of your business.

011: Moji Igun on Hiring Your First Employee

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 08:00:00 GMT

Hello CoCreators!

This week we had the privilege of sitting down with the Founder and CEO of Blue Daisi, Moji Igun, to discuss her process of hiring Blue Daisi’s first team member. Moji, currently based in Seattle, WA, is a speaker, writer, and sustainability consultant who works with businesses and organizations that want to grow their sustainability practices by pursuing zero waste.

In this episode, Moji shares with La’Kita and Chloe how trust was a key factor in adding to her team. She had to learn to trust the process of hiring laid out through coaching with CoCreate Work, trust herself as a business leader and her ability to make the right decision on who to hire as well as trust the person she ultimately selected while gradually relinquishing control of different aspects of business operations. Moji also shares her experience using our comprehensive training - Hiring the Right Team for your Business

Tune in to hear about this and many more insights Moji learned on her journey during the hiring process.

La'Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 07:00:00 GMT

Hello CoCreators!

In our last episode, La'Kita and Chloe discussed the importance of hiring the right team for your business. During the process of hiring, many leaders find themselves frustrated, believing the myth that there are "no good people out there" or even waiting until the 11th hour to add team members and rushing through the process.

Have you been in this position as a founder? This week, the conversation is about strategies for hiring- Versus Edition! Tune in to find out which of these hiring aspects get the green light from CoCreate Work.

Attraction vs. Over-selling
Building a hiring system vs. fly by your seat hiring
Hiring the people you need vs. hiring the people you know
Culture add vs culture fit
Hiring for now vs hiring for the future
Fixed culture vs learning culture
Abundance mindset vs. scarcity mindset

Take the Challenge!

Where are you now with these trends? Take some time this week to rate yourself on each category and then pick 2-3 to start working on to improve your hiring system.

We are continuing our conversation on burnout this week. We wanted to remind you of the five non-traditional signs of burnout we highlighted in our first episode:

Key Contributors of Burnout

You’re too far away from impact
You are not living or leading as the type of leader that you want to be

Doing too much on your own

In this week's episode, La'Kita and Chloe dive into these contributing factors and share tips on how you can work through burnout.

After you've listened, we encourage you to continue to reflect using the questions below:

1. What is our purpose as an organization?
2. Do I feel connected to my individual purpose? If not, where do I need to make adjustments?
3. What impact am I having on our purpose as an organization?
