We made it, friends! The final, final episode of Season 2 is here, and we're closing things out with a theme that ironically almost didn't make the cut—Includer!

Host Brandon Miller sits down with Jonathan Davey of RenewYourWorkplace.com for an insightful and heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to be an Includer. If you've ever felt the need to make space for others at the table (or wished someone had made space for you), this episode is for you.

Jonathan shares his journey from discovering strengths-based development in graduate school to becoming a certified coach and entrepreneur. He and Brandon explore how the Includer strength manifests in leadership, human resources, and change management, plus the challenges of balancing inclusion with decision-making (because let's be real—not everyone can be in every meeting). Expect personal stories, practical insights, and a few laughs along the way!

Key Takeaways:

• Includers instinctively see who is being left out and work to bring them into conversations, decisions, and spaces.
• Inclusion doesn't always mean adding more people—it means intentionally creating the right environment for everyone.
• Leadership with Includer requires balance. Not every decision-making space can (or should) include everyone.
• Includers thrive on collaboration, but they must recognize when broadening the circle might dilute focus or effectiveness.
