Remember the first time you walked into a new job, bright-eyed and hopeful, only to find yourself in a toxic workplace? That sinking feeling is something we've all experienced at one point or another. In today's episode, we're tackling this head-on with our dynamic guest, Stew. We share a few laughs over our first encounter at a TEDx event and then dive straight into the deep end, confronting the challenges of workplace toxicity.
Stew brings a unique perspective to the table, one that's been shaped by his time in the military. As we navigate our way through the murky waters of toxic workplaces, he introduces us to the concept of values-based leadership, something he practiced while leading his unit. The anecdotes from his military career provide a refreshing look at how values can transform a workplace, even under the most stressful conditions. But it's not all about the military; Stew also opens up about his transition out of the army and how his personal values clashed with those of his new workplace.
In the final act, we switch gears to focus on a practical solution: transfo

Remember how magical your first trip to Disney was? Join our guest, Brian, and me as we reminisce about the enchantment of Disney, the thrill of planning a trip with a toddler, and the absurdity of over-the-top Disney-themed weddings.

Have you ever wondered the impact of toxic behavior in the workplace on mental health? Today, we're diving deep into this crucial topic, discussing seven damaging behaviors - micro-management, incivility, blame, lack of empathy, self-entitlement, lack of support, and yes, even unrealistic expectations. Using our own experiences, we shed light on the severity of these behaviors and the importance of data-driven reporting in mitigating blame cultures.
We're joined by Linda, a woman whose career has spanned 49 different jobs within 36 years. Linda opens up about her encounters with toxicity in her work, the effects of her childhood abuse on her perception of toxic behavior, and the importance of mindful communication. She shares how she battled people-pleasing tendencies, discovered her likes and dislikes, and broke through her fears at the age of 51. Her journey and transformation will inspire you to conquer your own fears.

Have you ever wondered what the most toxic person in a workplace looks like? It's a question we've pondered over, and our exploration leads us into shedding light on the nuances of toxic work dynamics, which are less about specific demographics and more about detrimental traits. Join us on a reflective journey as we navigate the fascinating world of toxic workplaces, digest the wisdom of experts, share our favorite moments from past episodes, and contrast our own experiences with their insights.
