Tune in as we provide an alternative perspective to historical workplace norms, and the challenges we face in society today.
I’ve been reflecting on the role of this podcast lately, and one area that I hope to impact is providing an alternative perspective to historical workplace norms. I recognize that in some ways, Lead with Levity contributes to a counter culture where people feel valued, seen, and supported. It’s my hope that this counter culture one day becomes the norm in large and small companies across the globe.
I spoke to Dr. LaTonya Jackson about this recently about this and the challenges we face in society today.
We talk about:
- The pace of 2021 and the effect it’s had on people
- Why people might resort to violence and aggression toward service workers
- How inclusion and diversity fits into the picture
- Games and other fun ways to bring levity to the workplace
