In The Business of Humans

Toxic Workplaces! Let's confront this somewhat taboo but wildly important dynamic in many of our careers. Lynda and Joe fully take the gloves off (if there were any gloves left before this) and discuss toxic workplaces from all angles: how to define and identify them; how to survive them; or in some cases walk away from them altogether. Hear candid stories and takeaways from Lynda and Joe's combined 40+ years of leadership experience across top brands. For the hosts, too many years navigating toxicity drove them, in part, to break off on their own in an effort to cultivate their own career experience. But we know many of our listeners haven't made that leap - and we hope this episode feels helpful, actionable ... even cathartic for them!

Have you ever been told to "bring your whole self to work"?Well, so have we. And at first, it sounds great. But what happens when you confide and vent to the wrong person? Or bring a side of your self to the company retreat that maybe should have been left at home? Now - it's feeling a little more complicated (or worse, you're out of a job).Join Lynda and Joe as they discuss the myth of bringing your whole self to work, and how to strike a better balance: staying authentic, while being okay with only bringing the 90% of your self which belongs in the workplace.
