The Career Edge - by Brize
Welcome to The Career Edge — the podcast for professionals who are ready to cultivate the human skills that define a career. In a world where technology is a given, how we think, decide, and connect is what sets us apart.
Hosted by Leslie Ferry, founder of Brize and the architect behind Zandra, this show pulls back the curtain on the unspoken shifts that truly impact your trajectory. We move beyond generic advice to empower you with the insights required to navigate the modern workplace with agency and influence.
You’ll discover the "hidden gems" of how work actually works — the unspoken operating motions that others often miss. From there, we explore the uniquely human elements that allow you to capitalize on those insights, turning self-awareness and strategic reasoning into a more empowered and fulfilling career.
Each episode is designed to help you sharpen the skills AI cannot replace:
- Self-Awareness & Others-Awareness
- Strategic Reasoning
- Clear Communication & Trust
- Collaboration & Connection
If you are ready to start taking intentional ownership of your growth, you’ve found your edge.

Leadership Attribute: Influences Others to Gain Cooperation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this year-end podcast series, Pamela Coleman-Davis, a Certified Career Coach and The Modern Leadership Design program developer, joins Leslie Ferry. And they explore 5 attributes of effective leadership.
In this first episode, they start by defining the broader definition of leadership, which encompasses those who want to take ownership of their career, so a self-leader, to those who wish to demonstrate leadership before getting the title.
They then move into the first attribute – Influences Others to Gain Cooperation.
For each attribute, Pam explains
- What each means
- Why it is important
- Actions to take to strengthen them
- And knowing if you are doing it correctly
The other attributes will follow in separate episodes and include:
- Activates System 2 Critical Thinking for Problem-Solving
- Over-Communicates to Avoid Ambiguity
- Proactively Creates Culture
- Empowers Other Through Continuous Learning
