Wendy Gates Corbett

– The Thoughtful Leader with Mindy Gibbins-Klein

Episode 029 Connect, Respect, Protect with Wendy Gates Corbett, Organizational Psychologist

Wendy Gates Corbett is an organizational psychologist who researches the topic of belonging. Through her company, Refresher Training, she offers leaders and organizations advice on how to create workplaces where every individual feels safe to be fully expressive without any fear.

Wendy became interested in the subject because of her own story of being bi-racial, being told she was different and that she didn't belong.

In our conversation, Wendy gives practical tips for leaders on how to create a structure for work teams to operate in a mentally and psychologically safe environment, especially when dealing with reuniting workforces post-pandemic.

We also discuss:

The research of what creates cultures of belonging and emotional safety.

Creating space to make people feel respected and protected.

The positive ripple effects outside of the workplace.

Using positive and inclusive language.

Having uncomfortable conversations safely.

Here's to your Thought Leadership Journey!
