As 2026 begins, cohosts Erin Sember-Chase and Toral Patel return with a reflective conversation on the assumptions we often make about holidays, cultural observances, and availability at work. They explore how religious, spiritual, and cultural identities, like other aspects of our lives, will intersect with our work experience. From scheduling meetings and planning events to fasting, flexibility and time off, this episode unpacks how our “default” workplace practices can unintentionally leave people feeling unseen or excluded. Tune in to hear more about the power of humility, thoughtfulness, and intention in creating workplaces where inclusive excellence can be practiced every day just by looking at a different calendar.
