If you want to learn how this forward-leaning leader is driving the future of work then you won't want to miss listening to this amazing interview. I have been fortunate to know this guest since early in her career and I am absolutely stoked to welcome her for this frank and inspiring discussion. My guest for this episode of the podcast is Brea Starmer who joins Ultimate Guide to Partnering for a far-reaching, big, and bold interview focused on how one leader inspires others to achieve what we all thought was just potential.

Brea Starmer is the Founder of Lions + Tigers, a courage brand driving workforce innovation and building bridges to the future of work. Microsoft, Google, and other tech-industry organizations call on her team to transform how they work in two ways: by helping leaders change organizations from the inside to build a culture of inclusion, and by enabling part-time and flexible work for high-impact consultants to ensure everyone is operating in their highest and best use. Lions + Tigers won the prestigious Microsoft “Diverse-Owned Supplier of the Year” award in 2021, recognizing their work for workplace inclusion.

Brea centers underrepresented communities in her work which is why Lions + Tigers employs 75% women, 70% parents, and dedicates 30% of their billable hours to the BIPOC community. By offering a flexible way of work untethered from traditional full-time employment models, Brea empowers her team of nearly 100 consultants to measure success in impact over hours. Brea believes in “parenting out loud” and often invites her three kids under six to join her work meetings and invites her community to show up authentically without fear.

Brea’s work has been featured on King5, by Geekwire naming her “Geek of the Week” and recognizing Lions + Tigers as a finalist for Workplace of the Year in 2021, as well as features in Seattle Business Magazine, and the Puget Sound Business Journal as a female leader and as a “Best Place to Work”.

An alum of Washington State University and the 8th female student body president, Brea currently sits on the Marketing Advisory Board at the Carson College of Business.   She is a writer and speaker on the topics of flexibility, working parenthood, and the human side of workforce innovation. 

In this episode, you will learn how this woman founder applied courage and grit to a dark moment in her career to propel her path forward and shape her destiny. Now she is shaping the future of work and helping leading technology organizations define their future state of work during this time of change and transformation. 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

* What is the future of work.* How organizations need to think differently about culture.* OKRs and how her organization uses them to frame and organize their work.* Here driving force - how she propelled her career and shaped this amazingly innovative organization.

I hope you are as enlightened and inspired as I was in this interview with Brea Starmer.
