  • Culture Eroder: Assumption of Inclusion
    Jan 29 2026

    Today, we’re talking about another culture eroder: the assumption of inclusion.

    Assuming inclusion is often innocent — it’s the assumption that if we haven’t heard that we’re being exclusive, we must be doing alright. And while this is sometimes true, often, we’re being unintentionally exclusive in ways we can’t see.

    This can happen in the context of the diversity of our team, but in other ways, too. Some of which are quickly and easily corrected. We’ll talk about both, and I’ll also gush about one of my favorite humans (Viva Asmelash, @viva.asmelash), who teaches companies to have a holistic approach to safe, welcoming, diverse workplaces.

    Thanks for listening.

  • Receiving Feedback
    Jan 22 2026

    We’ve been talking all about feedback — focused mostly on giving.

    Today, we’re turning around some of the tools we’ve discussed and applying them to receiving feedback. We’ll talk about how to identify the feedback you want, and how to make sure you get it.

    And, we’ll discuss why getting in the habit of asking for feedback is so important — for you AND your team.

  • Giving Actionable Feedback
    Jan 15 2026

    Good feedback is actionable. It allows the person hearing it to know exactly what to stop, start, or continue doing — immediately. And, the best feedback puts these things in the context of a larger goal or purpose.

    Today we’re going to talk about all of this — a rich, saturated episode of feedback approaches + tools that you can begin using immediately.

    Thanks for listening.
