Show Your Value with Lee BensonSeeing the System Clearly: Women on Power, Culture, and LeadershipPower changes what you see. Culture changes how you’re treated, and systems rarely look the same from the inside as they do from the top.This episode brings together women leaders who have spent years building, operating, and deciding inside real organizations. Across industries and roles, the pattern is consistent. Leadership is not neutral. Culture is not objective. And value is often created in places the system does not fully recognize.These conversations are not about confidence or personal branding. They are about how power distorts reality, why culture becomes invisible to those who be...

The Brain and Beyond PodcastThe Gift of GenerosityWhat can we learn from "the giving of gifts" that might help us understand the REAL meaning – and perhaps the biological importance – of generosity?

You'll learn about healthy neurochemicals and brain patterns associated with altruistic generosity and those that may rise from how we often see "gifting" today – and peek at why neuroscience research may miss the mark when it seeks to measure what RE...
