Ever wondered why some teams flourish under certain bosses while others flounder? Corporate relationship expert Tony Chatman joins us to peel back the layers on how value and respect are cornerstones in creating that coveted sense of belonging within teams. Tony shares his invaluable insights on relationship-based leadership, emphasizing its impact in the workplace and how it's not just about hitting diversity quotas. It’s about building genuine connections that go beyond the surface level. Prepare to be enlightened on the nuances of empathy and unconscious bias, and how these elements, when addressed with care and understanding, can either spell success or doom for a company's culture.

As we navigate the complexities of diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and belonging in the corporate world, Tony and I swap stories that underline the triumphs and trials of carving out a space in the DEI arena. We dive into the concept that true belonging isn't a box-ticking exercise, but the organic result of an inclusive environment where everyone has room to thrive. From personal anecdotes of culture shocks to the challenges of being a minority in a professional realm, this episode isn't just about highlighting the 'leaks' in organizational culture—it's a clarion call for leaders and companies to patch these gaps and create a thriving, diverse workforce that stands the test of time. Join us for a candid, transformative conversation that might just change the way you view your workplace.
