Top Voice Tuesday with Michael J. López
Each week, I sit down with a fellow LinkedIn Top Voice to unpack the most pressing issues in business, leadership, and transformation. Together, we explore fresh insights, bold ideas, and real-world stories from the top 0.0001% of thought leaders on LinkedIn.
As a Top Voice myself and an expert in change and transformation, I bring a unique lens to every conversation—connecting each episode to powerful, science-backed strategies that help individuals, teams, and organizations navigate change with confidence.
Whether you're leading a company, driving culture shifts, or simply looking to level up in your career or life, these episodes are designed to challenge your thinking and expand your perspective.
