Welcome to a special microlearning series from The Human Thread: Business and Society, where we explore the invisible forces shaping our workplaces and communities. In this inaugural episode of "Civility Reimagined," hosts Sherna Alexander Benjamin from ALEXINNA dive into a pervasive yet rarely discussed issue: workplace incivility.

Have you ever felt dismissed or ignored in a meeting? That "invisible sting" isn't just bad manners; it's incivility, and it's costing organizations millions in lost productivity, trust, and talent. We unpack how subtle, disrespectful actions erode inclusion and performance, sharing compelling data from SHRM and a powerful story of David, a supervisor who transformed his team's output by embracing civility.

Discover how dignity, respect, and ethical leadership are reshaping the future of work as we challenge common dismissals like "That's just how we talk here." Civility isn't weakness; it's workplace intelligence and the foundation of innovation.

This episode offers practical tools for immediate application:

• Rate Your Workplace: A quick self-assessment to gauge your organization's civility spectrum.

• Observe a Meeting: A simple exercise to identify moments of civility or its absence and reflect on personal impact.

Women live in societies where it is covertly and overtly required for them to be strong. At the same time, strength means different things to people. Many #women put on a cloak of strength to survive. In this episode, Sherna shares her experience after a session with a group of women where she rejects the idea that she is a strong woman. The question is, do you consider yourself to be a strong woman? What are the things that contribute to this idea, and do you feel that being strong is harming your progress and showing up as yourself?
