Empowering Workplaces

In today’s episode, we are talking about ESG – environmental, social, governance – and corporate social responsibility with Keesa Schreane, author of Gambling On Green. ESG is a set of standards measuring a business’s impact on its local community, global society, and the environment. 

These issues of sustainability and ethical corporate responsibility have been important for decades, but never more than now as climate change, the environment and also underserved communities are becoming more and more top of mind for workers. Do you know if your company does anything in these areas? Find out what our data says, and listen to Keesa describe how this issue is more important than ever.

Leadership is something that seems easy and natural, from the outside, but it takes a huge amount of work to become a better leader. There’s always been this phenomenal opportunity to develop leaders, but now probably even more so.

In this episode we’re joined by Mihaela Berciu, Leadership Breakthrough Specialist, who focuses on exploring personal and professional values, understanding aspirations, removing barriers and visualizing the path to success.

If you are resilient, then when life knocks you down, you bounce back and you keep going. That’s the core of today’s episode, in which we’re joined by Annie Leib, LLC, who shares some insights about her coaching and framework, as well as great advice on how to build resilience.

Have you ever felt like time literally moves faster at work? Or perhaps felt “in the zone” while working? This is called “Flow”, and it happens when you feel a high degree of challenge and skill at a good balance, it requires being fully present and observing your work with a sense of calm and enjoyment.

In this episode, Jared Weintraub, PhD and founder of The Flow Group, LLC joined us to have a conversation on how to create the best conditions (individually and organizationally) for being in flow.

In today’s episode we discuss the very hot topic of burnout, with Hamza Khan, the best-selling author of Leadership, Reinvented and a global keynote speaker whose TEDx talk “Stop Managing, Start Leading” has been viewed nearly two million times.

Burnout is something that can affect anyone and has resulted in whole industries of self-help and related solutions… but what if the responsibility for fixing burnout doesn’t actually lie within the individual worker? What if the antidote to burnout is actually community, as well as a different kind of leadership?

Depending on who you ask, you are likely to get very different responses to the question “what is happiness”? Some believe that it’s about the journey, while others are focused on the destination.

Regardless of how you define happiness, most of us are often looking for more of it. So, how do we go about feeling happier? Join Sanja Licina, PhD and Maddie Grant as they discuss the meaning of happiness, fulfillment and purpose and how it all intertwines with work and our personal lives.

In this episode, we talk to Kent Frazier, CEO of fullyhumanatwork.com and inspirational transformational coach. We delve into what it really means to bring your whole self to work - how do we create space for that, how do we show up, how do we practice listening for that.

What comes to mind when you hear the words “employee wellness”? Did you know that there are actually three pillars to it? Physical, mental and emotional wellness. While the variety of benefits that employers can offer to their workforce has grown greatly, only 60% of workers say their employer actually offers any kind of wellness benefit at all.

In this episode, Kasey Chas, Culture Cultivator and Mental Health Educator at Dopple XR joins us to share how a holistic approach to employee wellness can better encompass all of the aspects that contribute to individual physical, mental and emotional health.

Whether it's in our personal lives or at work, practicing empathy and compassion is not as simple as it initially seems; that's because every single human is different in subtle ways, and what works for a person might not for someone else. Indeed, in the workplace, effectively connecting with others can take different forms and it's crucial to learn the most effective one for your business—one that is finely tuned to your culture.

Join Sanja Licina, PhD and Maddie Grant in this episode, where they discuss how compassion will become an increasingly important skill and how leaders can effectively develop it to lead teams and grow businesses.

Have you asked yourself: Did I choose the right career? Am I progressing fast enough, quicker than my peers? Is what's happening to me… normal? We've all had the same nagging thoughts regarding our career, so hearing what others have gone through during their career path gives us such a phenomenal perspective and ideas on what we could do –and don’t—differently.

Joining us for this episode is Ashley Menzies Babatunde, Attorney, Storyteller and host of the podcast “No Straight Path”, who talks to us about the story behind her success and how when she realized that her path wasn't linear anymore, it sent shockwaves to the system.
