 Multipliers REMIX: Conversation with Dr. Selen Turner

Episode Summary

We told you Multipliers was too rich to leave alone — so we brought it back. In this REMIX, we sit down with Dr. Selen Turner, an HR executive, I/O Psychologist, and partner at Advantage Performance Group, who has put this framework to work across Fortune 500 companies and around the world. From spotting your own accidental diminisher tendencies to leading with kindness, this conversation is where the theory meets real life.

In This Episode

  • What it really means to be a Multiplier vs. a Diminisher — and why nobody sets out to be one
  • The "accidental diminisher" and how awareness (not perfection) is the goal
  • The Rescuer trap: how jumping in to save the day quietly takes away your team's power
  • Why your title makes your ideas land as orders — and how that blocks innovation
  • Identifying your native genius by paying attention to the feedback you get most
  • Leading up: what to do when your boss is a diminisher, and the risks of shielding your team
  • The one Monday-morning move that changes everything — small gestures and kindness
  • A first look at Selen's upcoming book, Unique Belonging, out this fall
