Episode Synopsis

This is part 4 of a 4-part conversation on the work leaders need to do to incorporate belonging in the workplace with author and research Dr. Beth Kaplan. Each episode explores a different theme—clarity, self-awareness, team dynamics, and workplace culture. Workplace culture often undermines belonging, even with the best of intentions. In this episode, we explore the difference between performative and real belonging, the disconnect between values and actions, and why DEI and belonging should be treated as distinct (but related) priorities. This is a wake-up call for leaders at every level.🎙️ Featuring the expertise of Dr. Beth Kaplan, belonging and leadership expert.Discussion includes:Why “we’re a family” sends the wrong messageThe problem with outsourcing belonging to HRWhy DEI ≠ belonging (and what to do about it)How to embed belonging in the culture, not just the commsAnd connect with me for more great content!
