In today’s episode, I’m joined by Brian McComak, the founder of Hummingbird Humanity. Brain started Hummingbird Humanity as an initiative to bring humanity back to the workplace and that is the main topic for today’s episode. As employees, we get thrown into workplace systems that were created many years ago and we are expected to thrive in them despite the changes the world has been through. Brain shares his wisdom on how to bring a new approach to the workplace, so you can support your employees emotionally, make them feel seen and heard, help them thrive, and feel as authentic themselves at work.

Tune in as Brian gives tips on how to get started on bringing humanity back to the workplace and the concepts to use so you can become a better servant leader.
