We're currently navigating through the most tumultuous period most of us will have seen in our lifetimes. From economic uncertainties to a global pandemic to social unrest, 2020 has been *the* year of disruption. It's also a major leadership moment for all of us.
As I reflect on this period, I've decided to focus my podcasts on topics which highlight the bolder leadership needed in this current decade. #RealTalk About the Workplace will be 'retired', and I will fully rebrand my podcasts.
In 2021, I will relaunch, holding transformative conversations on the strategies leaders need to survive and thrive. In the meantime, please visit my company website, wgninhr-consulting.com for more information. I'm posting videos on this new topic regularly.
Thanks for listening and for your support!

Ep 10: What Generation Zers Want from the Workplace
A Google search on Generation Z produces over a billion search results! Their older siblings, Millennials, were similarly obsessed about. What Generation Z (or Zoomers) want from the workplace is more than a laundry list of things from the latest survey. They are bright, clear-eyed and thoughtful...about everything. In this episode, I invited a very special guest to share her perspective...my own daughter. We had a blast!

Ep 8: The Future of Work is Happening Now!
This year has felt like a big punch in the face, hasn't it? No sooner had we all finished singing Auld Lang Syne did we enter a global pandemic, followed by unrelenting unrest. But, there are still some things that we CAN control, such as your workplace experience. How you view your career and your 'what's next' could be the difference between extreme joy and soul-crushing misery. In this episode, I've invited Elatia Abate, entrepreneur, educator and strategist in the spaces of the future of work and digital transformation to help you navigate these waters.

Ep 7: Nightmare Boss, or Your Personal Growth Opportunity in Disguise?
Relationships are difficult at times. There are people in our lives who can either make us better, or bitter. A managerial relationship is especially vulnerable to challenges. Sometimes those challenges boil over and that manager can be described as a 'nightmare.' But, what if that 'nightmare' is really your opportunity to get to the next level? Are you ready to hear how? In this episode, I use my own story, break down the issues in living color and challenge people to put a new spin on an old issue. It's chock full of solutions for direct reports and companies alike.

Ep 6: Strong Leadership and Workplace Bullying Can NOT Co-exist
According to the Workplace Bullying Institute 19% of adult Americans are bullied in the workplace, with over 60 million workers somehow affected. Bullying is a cancer that needs to be pulled out by its root. In my book, Tough As Nails: Finding Your Voice as a Woman in the Workplace, I discuss bullying called by another name: mean-girl cultures. Regardless of what you call it and who the perpetrator is, it's a serious problem. In this Podcast, I've invited someone whose career is dedicated to tackling workplace bullying to dissect this issue and offer solutions. Matt Paknis is a senior management consultant, author, former football player and former assistant coach at Penn State under Joe Paterno. Contact him at mattpaknis.com (http://mattpaknis.com/) for more information.

I'll answer these questions and more as I prepare you to strategically step into your next level.

Ep 3: Can We Say 'Love' in the Workplace?
Why is the word 'love' so off limits in work settings? I'm not talking about anything inappropriate! I'm talking about being human. Now more than ever, we need love to get through the madness around us. So, how do we demonstrate this emotion in the workplace, exactly? In this podcast, I walk us through ways to show up with more humanity.

Ep 1: Let Me Hear Your Voice!
YOU have a unique voice that your company, business and the whole world need to hear! In the workplace, you may have to work harder to find that voice and use it, but it is possible.
