Description

What happens when innovative leaders challenge business-as-usual? The Better Angle spotlights the game-changing perspectives that are reshaping how successful leaders operate. Hosts Kathleen Rennie (Chair/Clinical Faculty at NYU's School of Professional Studies) and Cortney Stapleton (Chief Strategy & Business Officer at Highwire) sit down with visionaries who are seeing their field differently – and winning because of it. Our guests don't just share success stories – they break down the insight that led them to approach a specific challenge from a new or different angle. From building authentic brand trust to pioneering in a new market, to navigating a personal professional setback, episodes focus on the breakthrough moments and the impact they had. For leaders, communicators, and innovators, this is your opportunity to get inside the minds of those who dared to look at problems through a fresh, and sometimes provocative lens.
