The Lift is a weekly show for CEOs and senior leaders about leading change. Each episode digs into one hard call: what was at stake, what pulled in different directions, and what other leaders can take back to their teams.
The show is hosted by Ben Brooks, founder and CEO of PILOT, a boutique organizational effectiveness firm that helps CEOs align their leadership teams and managers. PILOT works with growing organizations, especially in the mid-market, as they scale or go through change.
How it works
Most of our guests come through people we know or by invitation, so recommendations get the closest look. If it’s a fit, you’ll hear from us within three weeks. Otherwise, please take silence as a no, or a not now.
No sponsors and no paid placements. Guests never pay to appear.
Who we book

Thought leaders: researchers and authors whose work changes how leaders decide and act. Past guests include Amy Edmondson (Harvard Business School), Jay Conger (Claremont McKenna College) and Amy Gallo (Harvard Business Review).
We seek a diversity of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds that reflects the markets our listeners work in and the situations they face.
