Welcome to the Conscious Consulting Podcast. My name is Julia Culen and this episode explores the power of Impact networks. My Guest today is Yingzhao Liu: when I meet Ying the first time in 2016 she was a Director for User Experience Design at LinkedIn and lived in a Buddhist Community. Her Keynote on „Integration“ she gave at a huge San Francisco conference impressed me deeply and since that times we are friends. Today Ying lives in Seattle she is a Leadership Lecturer at Stanford University, artist, mother, Designer and Strategist at Converge and Advisor at CCG. One of her key work focus is to consult impact networks: Ying is convinced, networks are the future of work and organizations. In this podcast we are exploring deeper in questions such as:What is an impact networkAnd how to cultivate a network mindsetWhat are key success factors to grow and sustain impact networks?what we can learn from naturecould networks replace hierarchies for good?
