This week I interview Wendy Horng Brawer, co-founder and chief of learning and innovation for Intune Collective. Wendy is an executive coach, consultant, experience designer, somatic awareness coach, parent, and rock drummer.
Wendy is putting into practice what she teaches. “How do we build a company that walks the talk every day? How can we lead from the inside out, becoming whole human leaders helping whole human companies?”
Growing up in an Asian family, charting her own course was difficult at times. I asked Wendy about being an Asian-American woman in the workplace. She worked for Dun & Bradstreet in Tokyo, where she was excluded from social events that her American male peers attended.
Intune Collective is "a company that sees working with clients as partnerships, and that’s reciprocated because we're called partners by our clients…that feels really good because we're showing up in as holistic a way as we can, and we apply something that we call synergistic consulting. We help clients bring it all together…heart, mind, and community.”
Wendy believes the most important step for executives to develop caring relationships is making a personal commitment. They need to be willing to model their own growth, to develop emotional intelligence, and to show vulnerability. The same practices apply to implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. This is the work of organizations who care.
Wendy is board chair of Calculus Roundtable, which seeks creative, innovative, and highly engaging ways to help underrepresented Black and brown students access STEM learning, develop a passion for it, and continue on career pathways related to STEM.
She launched a podcast called “The Business of Being Human” with her Intune Collective partner, Christine Hildebrand. They interview practitioners in HR and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, along with executive leaders.
Wendy’s advice for people who want to create companies that care is to start with your values. “How do your values show up when you're working with clients? When you're working with each other? If you have conflict and disagreement? You can create a manifesto that anchors you around your values.”
Wendy is a somatic coach, and she runs Unbound, a program for women of color to explore what it means to be free, whole, and alive. To learn more, visit www.wendyhorngbrawer.com.
On both of my podcasts I highlight voices from underrepresented populations, especially people of color, women, people who are LGBTQIA, non-Christian, and immigrants, people who don't always get a platform.
