In this powerful and personal conversation, Dr. Victoria Mattingly (Dr. V) - organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, and CEO of Mattingly Solutions - joins Kenneth to explore what it really means to act like an ally in the workplace.

From her unexpected entry into IO psychology to the human-centered heart of her work, Dr. V shares the stories and insights that have shaped her journey. Together, they dive into how allyship can move from performance to partnership, how vulnerability and inclusion show up in leadership, and why being a “good-ish person” is more than enough when you’re growing.

They explore real stories of leadership, resilience, and inclusion - from navigating illness and identity to reframing allyship as a shared responsibility grounded in trust and empathy. 

This is a conversation for OD professionals, DEI champions, leaders, and anyone who's learning to speak up, show up, and lead with heart.
