The Other Side of Potential
Over time, the conversations we choose to have begin to reflect what matters most.
If you’ve been part of this podcast, you’ve heard me speak about human development, systems thinking, and the ways we make meaning of our lives and work. That work continues—and remains at the core of my coaching and professional practice.
What has changed is the space where I am choosing to have a different kind of conversation.
After the death of my son, Michael, I felt called to create a more personal place—one that speaks directly to the experience of loss, and to the questions that emerge when life no longer looks the way it once did.
That space is now Beyond the Loss.
This podcast is for parents who have lost a child, and for those who support them. It is not about fixing grief or finding closure, but about understanding how we continue to live, to make meaning, and to become—after loss.
If you are looking for my current podcast,
you will now find me there.
I invite you to join me on Beyond the Loss.
You are welcome.

The Other Side of Potential
Episode 283: Perpetual Organizational Upheaval with Mark Monchek
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this age of perpetual organizational upheaval, it can be difficult to see beyond the daily pressures of performance and monetary and success and even harder to visualize radical abundance. But nothing is ever as bad as it seems because here at The Other Side of Potential, we believe in the moments that test your limits as they often reveal the untapped potential within you.
Today, Sharon is joined once again by Opportunity Lab’s Mark Monchek, and the pair unpack why businesses of all sizes are struggling to overcome economic volatility and geopolitical instability. Mark uses his book, Culture of Opportunity, as a guide to explain his stance on perpetual organizational upheaval, and he places ‘culture’ as a focal point if we are to ever persevere through this age of disruption.
In our conversation, Sharon and Mark discuss how leaders need to change and evolve, the four superpowers of adapting to volatile change, how technology (and specifically AI) augments human capabilities, the role of HR in this new age, and so much more. Enjoy!
