Not every workplace disagreement or discomfort equals a "toxic culture." So how do we separate real toxicity from miscommunication, growth pains, or mismatched expectations?
In this powerful episode of SpeakEasy HR, Keith Wilson joined me for a real, no-fluff conversation about the overuse of the word "toxic," how it's impacting workplaces, and what leaders and employees can do to create clarity, accountability, and healthier work environments.
We dive into:
✅ Why labeling everything as toxic is a problem
✅ How to handle tough conversations and feedback
✅ The difference between a bad day and a bad culture
✅ Strategies to shift the workplace narrative—for good
Whether you're in HR, leadership, or just navigating your own work story, this one’s worth a listen
