The Wisdom Behind the Words

The words we use shape how we think, lead, decide, and connect with others, yet we rarely stop to examine what the truly mean or the practical application. Wisdom Behind the Words helps you look beyond familiar language, challenge automatic assumptions, and discover fresh perspectives that you can apply to your work, relationships, and everyday decisions. Each conversation explores an important word or idea through two different lenses, combining Dee Dee’s experience in nonprofit fundraising with Kursten’s background in corporate consulting, leadership, and human behavior. The topic is chosen with a spin of the wheel, which creates conversations that are spontaneous, honest, and grounded in real experience. In about twenty minutes, each episode will leave you with a new way to think about a word you may have been using your entire life.
