Podcast: Chief Change Officer
Published On: Sat Jan 18 2025
Description: Part One. Social media has conditioned us to treat connections as fleeting, but real collaboration demands something deeper. How can we build strong teams and achieve lasting success without meaningful relationships? In this episode, I sit down with Tricia Cerrone and Edward J. van Luinen, who transformed their Disney work relationship into a 10-year friendship and a thriving partnership. They’re now co-authoring a book to help others unlock the power of sustainable collaboration. Stay tuned for part two, where we’ll explore their unique framework: five key behaviors and a focus on “noble purpose” that redefines teamwork. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Emotional Banking: The Secret to Long-Lasting Work Relationships “Relationships at work thrive on trust, respect, and mutual goals. By making consistent positive deposits into the ‘emotional bank,’ teams can evolve into high-performing units. Delivering results is key, but so is showing up for each other and building something lasting, as Trish and I found over a three-year project.” Collaboration Isn’t Just Tools—It’s Human Connection “The business world is spending almost $40 billion on collaboration tools, which are a band-aid for our failures to communicate. If you don’t have the human behaviours of generosity, resourcefulness, co-creation, action, and gratitude, no technology is going to help your team be happy or collaborate better.” Be the Change You Seek—Gandhi’s Wisdom for Collaboration “There’s a great quote by Gandhi: ‘Create the change you want to be.’ That’s the foundation of our collaboration model—being the change and the leader your team is asking you to be.” Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guests: Tricia Cerrone and Edward J.
