What masks do we wear at work — and what happens when we finally take them off?

In this episode, Glenn Martin and Matthias Schmeisser sit down with Marie Chaproniere, Founder of Behind the Mask, to explore how authenticity, vulnerability, and belonging are reshaping the modern workplace.

Marie shares her journey creating a movement that gives People & Culture leaders, HR professionals, and wellbeing advocates the space to talk openly about what’s really going on behind polished job titles — from mental health and neurodiversity to grief, loss, and identity.

Together, we unpack why “bringing your whole self to work” can feel impossible, how societal expectations force us to perform versions of ourselves, and what it takes to unlearn that conditioning.

💬 Expect a raw, human conversation on:

→ The hidden cost of workplace masks

→ Why authenticity is a lifelong practice

→ The courage it takes to be seen

→ Building empathy-led leadership cultures If you’ve ever felt you had to edit yourself to fit in — this one’s for you.

🎙 Escape the Echo Chamber: honest conversations that challenge the status quo and connect us as humans.
