How can we use storytelling to transform workplaces into more inclusive environments? Join host Natalie Benamou and featured guest Priya Nalkur, E.d.D. President of Roundtable Institute as they explore the power of being vulnerable using storytelling. Priya shares highlights from her book ‘ Stumbling Towards Inclusion: Finding Grace in Imperfect Leadership.  The two explore strategies that include how to listen, empathize, and build inclusive, high-performing workplaces.

Through an insightful case study, discover how curiosity and understanding beyond problem-solving can foster a supportive and innovative work environment. When leaders prioritize learning and growth over productivity they create teams that feel valued and connected. Find out how emotions can act as a universal language, bridging gaps and facilitating a positive, productive business culture.

Priya shares her LEAD framework and how to apply it to leadership. Personal storytelling is a powerful tool for fostering shared humanity and connection. Reflecting on her experiences in writing the book, Priya reveals how vulnerability and sharing personal stories can inspire and empower others. 

Favorite Quotes:

"When you're curious, you're going to listen differently and you're going to ask a very different type of question. You're going to try to understand the person, not the problem."- Priya Nalkur, E.d.D.

“Storytelling asks us to be very vulnerable. And when we're vulnerable, we invite others to share their story too. When we share our stories together, we create a foundation from which we can really create something beautiful.”-Priya Nalkur, E.d.D.
