In today's enriching episode, we have the pleasure of sitting down with the insightful Alex Zikakis, an Enablement Leader at Seismic. Alex brings to the table a fascinating comparison between nurturing skills in our children through Lego building and fostering strategic thinking within the competitive corporate landscape. We'll unpack the idea of coaching, whether it's for parents, guardians, or frontline leaders, delving into the art of enabling individuals for success both in the playroom and the boardroom.

Alex and I will explore the challenges posed by remote work, market conditions, and the constant need for adaptability. We discuss the importance of shifting from short-term achievements to embracing a mindset tailored for long-term growth, and we'll tackle the practicalities of developing a competency model that hones key skills for remarkable performance.

So whether you're a parent teaching resilience through colorful bricks, a manager guiding a team, or simply an avid learner looking for your next insight—you're in the right place.
