I had such a great time joining this episode to talk about a topic that’s near and dear to my heart - navigating toxic work environments and building psychologically safe, respectful workplaces.
As a guest, I got to bust some of the biggest myths I hear far too often: “It’s just part of the job,” “You’re overreacting,” or the dreaded, “Don’t speak up. You’ll be seen as the problem.” Spoiler alert: none of those are true, and staying silent only fuels the dysfunction.
We dug into what psychological safety really looks like, how to spot bullying and abrasive behavior (even when it’s subtle), and what leaders can do to turn things around.
Big thanks to the amazing Lori Adams-Brown for guiding such a thoughtful conversation. Lori is an insightful, warm, and truly skilled host who made the whole experience feel like a meaningful exchange, not just a Q&A. I loved the space she created for deeper dialogue about the real impact of toxic leadership and what we can do to shift workplace dynamics for the better.
