About This Episode
Shola Richards, the innovative CEO of Go Together Global, speaker and author, brings a fresh perspective on being bold. Shola reveals how seemingly small acts, like setting personal boundaries, can trigger profound personal growth and transformation. He candidly shares his own experiences with toxic workplace environments, illustrating the bold decisions and inner strength needed to reclaim one's mental well-being and authenticity.

About Shola Richards
Shola Richards is an international keynote speaker, author, and suicide survivor, who has deep expertise about—and firsthand experience with—the dangers of toxic incivility. Lovingly nicknamed, “Brother Teresa”, Shola has shared his transformative message of civility on three different continents, on major media platforms such as CBS This Morning, with top organizations (such Microsoft, Google, and WebMD), on the TEDx stage, and even on Capitol Hill where he was invited to testify in front of the House of Representatives for two hours about how to bring more civility to Congress (and he’ll be the first to tell you that they need a refresher course). Shola’s ideas are known to be extremely practical, deeply researched, highly inspirational, and readily applicable to people from all walks of life.
