April 29, 2026 Episode 272 Skills Fishing: Resume Padding in a New Era
This week on the People Centric Podcast, we talk about the phrase "skills fishing" and how it is essentially resume padding for the 21st century. As candidates try to stand out and employers try to quickly identify the right fit, it becomes easy for the hiring process to drift into confusion, exaggeration, and mismatched expectations.

In this episode, we discuss how to write strong job descriptions and postings, ask better interview questions, be honest about skills and abilities, and create clearer alignment from the very beginning. Whether you are applying for a role, hiring for your team, or shaping talent strategy across the organization, this conversation is about making hiring more honest, effective, and People Centric.

April 22, 2026 Episode 271 When Your Leader Feels Toxic
This week on the People Centric Podcast, we talk about what to do when your leader feels toxic. Leaders are meant to set direction, create alignment, and reinforce the mission, vision, and values of an organization. But what happens when their behavior seems to work against all of that?

In this episode, we explore what toxic leadership can look like, how to recognize when a leader is treating people poorly, and how to honestly ask whether the problem is truly the leader or something in your own response. From frontline employees to managers to executives, this conversation offers practical insight for navigating one of the hardest dynamics in the workplace.

April 15, 2026 Episode 270 Paying Attention to What You Tell Yourself
This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about our inner voices and the role they play in how we show up at work.

We all have that voice in our head. Sometimes it pushes us forward. Sometimes it holds us back. And sometimes it is hard to tell if we should listen to it or question it.

We explore what these inner voices sound like, where they come from, and how they can shape our decisions, confidence, and interactions with others. We also talk about the difference between helpful awareness and unhelpful noise.

From the employee perspective, we discuss how to recognize when your inner voice is supporting you or getting in your way. From the manager perspective, we talk about how inner voices show up in leadership and decision making. And from the executive perspective, we explore how self awareness can help leaders respond more thoughtfully instead of reacting automatically.

Learning when to listen and when to challenge your inner voice can change how you experience work.

April 08, 2026 Episode 269 Unlearning the Wrong Lessons
This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about the wrong lessons people take away from everyday work situations.

We have all been there. You delegate something and it does not go the way you hoped, so you decide it is just easier to do it yourself next time. Or something goes wrong and instead of learning from it, we create a rule that actually limits growth moving forward.

The problem is not the situation. It is the story we tell ourselves about what happened.

We walk through common scenarios where people take away the wrong lesson and how those lessons can quietly shape behavior, limit trust, and hold teams back. Then we talk about how to pause, reflect, and make sure you are learning the right thing from the experience.

From the employee perspective, we explore how to challenge your own assumptions. From the manager perspective, we talk about how to coach people through better takeaways. And from the executive perspective, we discuss how patterns of thinking can shape culture over time.
Better outcomes start with better lessons.

April 01, 2026 Episode 268 What Panic Does to Leadership
This week on The People Centric Podcast, we revisit something people consistently need from their leaders: stability, compassion, hope, and trust. These needs become even more important during times of stress, uncertainty, or panic.

We talk about how pressure can cause leaders to unintentionally drop one of these. Some leaders focus so much on stability that compassion disappears. Others lead with hope but forget to create trust through clear action. And sometimes panic causes all four to slip.

The challenge is that people do not just need one of these. They need all four, especially when things feel uncertain.

In this episode, we explore how leaders can recognize when panic is shaping their behavior, how these four needs show up in everyday leadership moments, and how to reset when something important has been lost along the way.

From the employee perspective, we talk about what it feels like when these needs are present or missing. From the manager perspective, we discuss how to notice the signals and adjust in real time. And from the executive perspective, we explore how stability, compassion, hope, and trust shape culture during difficult moments.

March 25, 2026 Episode 267 Celebrating to Stay Motivated
This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about the power of celebrating, even when it feels like there is nothing to celebrate.

There are seasons at work when progress feels slow, goals feel far away, and morale can dip. In those moments, celebration can feel forced or even unnecessary. But we explore why small wins matter, why progress counts, and how celebration shifts energy on a team.

We talk about what celebration actually means. It is not always big milestones or public praise. Sometimes it is recognizing effort, growth, resilience, or simply the fact that people are still showing up and trying.

From the employee perspective, we discuss how to acknowledge your own progress without waiting for someone else to notice. From the manager perspective, we talk about building rhythms of recognition that feel real and not performative. And from the executive perspective, we explore how celebration reinforces culture and reminds people why their work matters.

When things feel heavy, celebration can be a reset. It helps people see momentum, even in small steps.

March 18, 2026 Episode 266 Assigning Intent and Impact Ownership
This week on The People Centric Podcast, we revisit a topic we have talked about a lot: assigning intent. Starting from a neutral and curious mindset can prevent negative stories from taking over and it can help teams stay connected when things get messy.

But today we talk about maturing the concept, because we have also seen it weaponized. Sometimes people use good intent as a shield. Things like, I did not intend for that to happen, so get over it. The truth is intent matters, but impact matters too. And we all have responsibility for our impact, even when our intent is good.

We talk about how to assign good intent without abandoning accountability. We also discuss how to build a body of evidence over time and use it to create boundaries when someone is consistently unintentionally causing harm to you or the work process.

This episode is for anyone who wants to stay open and curious, while also staying grounded, protected, and clear.

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about de-escalation. With so much uncertainty right now, we are seeing more frustration at work and emotions sitting closer to the surface. When tension is high, small moments can turn into big reactions fast.

We share a simple process for diffusing high emotion situations in a way that protects the relationship and helps people move forward together.

Recognize the emotional stakes and challenges
Empathize
Build a pathway together
Follow up
From the employee perspective, we talk about how to stay grounded when someone is upset and how to respond without matching the energy. From the manager perspective, we discuss how to handle emotional moments while still holding clear boundaries. And from the executive perspective, we explore how de-escalation practices shape culture, trust, and psychological safety over time.

March 04, 2026 Episode 264 Not Burnout, but Boreout
This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about boreout. We have all heard of burnout, when you are overwhelmed and overworked. But what happens when you are underworked, under challenged, or just not mentally engaged?

We break down what boreout can look like at work and how it often shows up in ways people do not expect. It can look like procrastination, low energy, feeling disconnected, or even feeling irritable and unmotivated. And it can be especially confusing for high performers, because on the outside things may look fine, while on the inside they feel stuck.

We talk about why boreout happens, how to recognize it, and what you can do about it. From the employee perspective, we discuss how to name what is going on and advocate for challenge and growth. From the manager perspective, we talk about spotting boreout early and creating work that develops people. And from the executive perspective, we discuss how roles, structure, and priorities can unintentionally leave talented people underused.

Boreout is real, and you are not lazy. You might just need the right challenge.

February 25, 2026 Episode 263 Owning It When It Isn't Your Fault
This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about ownership in the context of manager feedback. Not all feedback is clear. Not all feedback is delivered well. And sometimes the situation is not even your fault. The question becomes what is your responsibility in that moment.

We explore the idea that you cannot change other people. You can only change how you respond and how you show up. Ownership does not mean taking the blame for everything. It means looking honestly at where you have influence, where you can grow, and how you want to move forward.

We talk about why ownership is hard and how it often goes against our natural reactions to defend ourselves or point fingers. We also talk about how choosing ownership leads to deeper self awareness, better relationships, and a happier and more whole human experience at work.

From the employee perspective, we discuss how to receive feedback with ownership, even when it is messy. From the manager perspective, we talk about how ownership shows up in everyday interactions. And from the executive perspective, we explore how a culture of ownership shapes trust and accountability over time.
