The Career Edge™ - by Brize®
Welcome to The Career Edge, where we unpack how work actually works.
Most professionals spend years figuring out the unwritten rules of the workplace on their own. This show is built to change that.
Hosted by Leslie Ferry, founder of Brize and creator of Zandra, The Career Edge explores the questions most career conversations never ask. What actually drives careers forward. How others interpret your decisions, communication, and actions through their unique lens. And how small, deliberate shifts based on this information create momentum that compounds over time.
No generic advice. No recycled career tips. Just honest conversations designed to provoke a question worth thinking about long after the episode ends.
New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

AI is changing how we work — but fear not. Your greatest career advantage isn’t technical; it’s human. In this first episode of The Career Edge, you’ll discover that blind spots happen to us all — unseen interpretations of our actions and abilities that can differ wildly from what we intend. (You might be surprised by how you’re being misinterpreted.)
The Career Edge is a new series dedicated to helping you understand and strengthen the human skills that shape your career — especially in the era of AI, where how you think, connect, and communicate defines your true value.
In this episode, we explore how others often see us differently than we expect. These varying perceptions — shaped by different work styles, personalities, and priorities — create what are called blind spots. They’re our default behaviors in motion, influencing how others interpret our tone, decisions, and credibility.
Awareness is what turns those blind spots into bright spots. When you recognize how you’re experienced by others, you can act with greater intention — building stronger relationships, becoming a trusted sounding board, and inspiring teams toward shared goals.
Because in a world where AI can automate tasks we do, our awareness can illuminate who we become.
