Urban Equity Planning with André Darmanin
I grew up in a multiracial home in the diverse neighborhood of Roger’s Park, Chicago. It wasn’t until I entered corporate America and grad school that I realized that I was different.

The Conscious Communicator with Kim Clark
It seems like we are faced with current and global events that impact us on a weekly basis, which can shake our confidence in our systems.

Creating Purpose Driven Employees with Brandon Peele
“There’s got to be more than this.”
That’s the big question employees are starting to ask themselves, as, in recent years, their employers have shown their true colors behind all this “purpose” talk. Employees have come to value life outside of the office more and have awoken from their stupor that chasing a career isn’t all that it’s made up to seem. That’s why instilling and living a true purpos

Wiping Out Bad Leadership with Matthew Sandel
I’m willing to bet you’ve had more bosses that you’ve struggled with than bosses you were actually excited to work for. Honestly…it’s not their fault.

Catalyzing Real World Change with Eric Ressler
If you’ve seen the news lately, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all of the problems we are currently grappling with. Economic downturns, racial injustice, wars on distant shores, natural disasters that ravage the lives of the innocent.
In times like these, I like to turn to my “why,” or the purpose that is driving my work forward. I can be encouraged to know that, at least in my own little corne

Self-worth at Work with Aiko Bethea
When you think about what makes us great as humans is that we have the capacity for deep emotional connection. The biggest travesty, however, is when we, as individuals, buy into the concept that our self-worth should be tied to the work that we produce. Aiko and I agree that it is wrong and we are here to address it.
Aiko Bethea, Esq., PCC, is Founder of RARE Consulting and Coaching LLC who speci

Leading Bold DEI Conversations with Valerie Williams
At their core, DEI professionals are change experts. They own the challenge of shaking the foundation of traditional corporate cultures to help leaders confront subconscious bias.
I usually talk to white male leaders who recognize that they are entitled and privileged, they will say “I’m the last person you should be talking to about DEI,” but that’s not true! For what they lack in lived experienc

Creating a Culture of Wellbeing with Matthew Jackson
How do you measure wellbeing at work? Is it the number of company retreats each year? The number of positive comments among coworkers? Is it how well employees can memorize the company values?
Being someone who works daily in the culture space, a lot of people reach out to me with “symptoms,” but there is a huge gap between the responsibility of direct leaders and the implementation of company cul

Transformative Leadership with Paul Bellows
Being a leader is a tough job…and often comes with little support or training.
Managers play essential roles in designing and instigating a better employee experience because they are on the front line interacting with employees daily. If we want our EXD initiatives to break through, we must create better support for our front line managers.
That’s why I love this conversation with Paul, my guest

Workplace Spirituality with Janelle King
Spirituality and work are often two terms that mix as well as water and vinegar, but if workers put so much stock into their careers, it’s almost impossible not to consider their spiritual wellbeing also.

The Power of Sensitive Organizations with Ciela Hartanov
“We need to get clear that there is probably not this thing called ‘culture’ that an organization dictates and pushes through an organization. It needs to be viewed as a network effect, a collaborative effect, and a co-creation effect.”
This is one of the many powerful soundbites dropped by my most recent guest Ciela Hartanov, which contained many jaw-dropping moments. She makes a VERY convincing

If you’ve spent any time in the corporate world in the past 2 years, you’ve probably noticed a lot of changes in the way we work.
