Align on The Why: Change leadership as a family adventure story with Katie and Billy Kim

Just a couple months ago, Katie and Billy Kim packed up their lives in New Jersey — two careers, two kids, and a mortgage — and moved to Korea.  To make it happen, they navigated a year-long project involving six trips to the South Korean consulate, an unexpected citizenship complication, a possible military draft, a cancer diagnosis, and ultimately, the realization that fear and inconvenience are the worst reasons to not make something happen. Topic Highlights: – Why Katie first shut down the idea of moving across the world – and what changed her mind – The consulate saga that almost derailed everything  – The “excuse test”: how to tell whether something is a real constraint or just discomfort – The three things the Kims agreed on before they even booked a flight and why most teams only get one of them right – Why a shared “why” matters more than a perfect plan when things don’t go as expected Guest Bio: Katie Kim is a marketing executive and former VP of Global Marketing at MillerKnoll. Billy Kim is an independent investor and the family’s designated maverick.
