<![CDATA[under the brim]]>What does leadership actually run on? Not the org chart. It runs on self-awareness, empathy, cultural intelligence, and human judgment that lie just beneath the surface.

Under the Brim is the show where leadership gets human. Host Kris Garcia (Leadership Architect, Cultural Strategist, and yes, the guy in the hat) brings 15 years of HR experience to real conversations about DiSC, emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, and AI+HI, where artificial intelligence meets human intelligence at work.
