On Air: Podcast by Femme Palette

What biases do we see around ourselves and how do they affect us? What should we think twice before saying out loud? We discussed this and much more with Dinah Spritzer-Richter and Vladimir Prikryl!

About the guests:

For more than 20 years Dinah Spritzer-Richter worked as a journalist covering politics, education, minorities and gender issues in Europe and beyond for outlets such as The New York Times, Jerusalem Post and USAToday.

Vladimir Prikryl’s philosophy is: Happy employees > Satisfied customers > Company growth. Vladimir fully believes that through building collaborative and high-performing company cultures we can contribute to a better society.

As a General Manager of CGM CZ & SK, Vladimir was always a fan of everything that can improve company culture, that's how he discovered topics like diversity or gender equality. But Vladimir believes that to achieve and improve anything, you have to measure it. For many years, Vladimir has been searching for a tool to measure company culture, when he finally found platform LutherOne, and joined their team. Vladimir is now helping companies with implementation of their own pulse-check tool for company culture and loves it!

Note: Vladimir mentions VUCA world which stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous World.
