Being “one of the guys” has always been seen as an achievement. A recognition of having made it. Oftentimes, ‘guy’ related phrases are thrown around, with the assumption that the noun covers the entire gender spectrum, just like most dictionaries define it.
But just who are the guys?
And why are we all forced to fit in as "one of the guys"?
Emily Nichols, Chief Connection Officer at Connect Better Inc., is on a mission to challenge the status quo by educating us on the importance of using inclusive language in the workplace. Through her experiences in never being able to meet the "guy" criteria in male-dominated fields, Emily offers valuable insights into how our language and physical work environments can perpetuate gender inequities.
On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, Emily shares her experiences and expertise on the changes we can all make in our use of language to foster a more equitable and supportive work environment.
Leadership tips you won’t want to miss:
🎙️ Embracing inclusive language to create a supportive work culture
🎙️ Recognizing and addressing microaggressions in everyday interactions
🎙️ Advocating for gender-neutral job company policies
🎙️ Fostering open dialogue about inclusion and diversity within your team
Speaking from the stage or the factory floor, Emily Nichols nudges technical people to embrace their human skills, so they can become better problem solvers, team players, and leaders.
If you’re looking to foster a more inclusive team while questioning the status quo, then this episode is for you!

In many ways, 2021 felt like climbing one of those mountains where each time I thought I was almost at the peak, I’d wind the corner to realize that the peak was actually nowhere near.
So what do you do but just keep putting one foot in front of the other – while also trying to take moments to just pause and be present through the journey.
In this solo episode, I get real about the challenges faced in 2021 that led someone to recently ask me if my business is still “a thing” (hint: yep, thank goodness, it’s more than just a thing 😉).
I share my lessons learned and our plans for where we’re heading for 2022.
Not in hopes that you’ll learn from them. But in hopes that you’ll realize that there are lots of other people up there on that mountain with you, even if you can’t see them.
So throw on your own hiking boots and join me for the ride that 2022 will undoubtedly bring
If you’re feeling alone amidst the struggles of the past year, then this episode is for you!

Why is it that somewhere between childhood and adulthood, many of us start to shift away from our playful nature and into a more serious business persona? That whole “acting like a real adult” thing starts to take up more and more space. Until we suddenly find ourselves disconnected from the fun, playful parts of ourselves.
But who says that play can’t also be a part of business?
According to Jeff Harry, Positive Psychology Play Consultant & Speaker, play is a crucial part of creating an environment of psychological safety, where people can embrace authenticity, vulnerability and willingness to fail, to maximize creativity and innovation.
On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, Jeff and I explore the role of play in business and in life.
Leadership tips you won’t want to miss:
🎙️ Why embracing a play-oriented mindset will help your business thrive
🎙️ How perfectionism gets in the way of play and creativity
🎙️ Finding the thing that makes you come alive
🎙️ How finding a flow state helps to shut down your inner critic
Jeff Harry combines positive psychology and play to help teams/organizations create psychologically safe workspaces and assist individuals in addressing their biggest challenges through embracing a play-oriented approach to work.
For his work, Jeff was selected by BambooHR & Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers of 2020 and has been featured in the NY Times, Mashable, Upworthy & Shondaland. Jeff has worked with Google, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Adobe, the NFL, Amazon, and Facebook, helping their staff to infuse more play into the day-to-day.

Jess Pettitt is one of a kind. As a former diversity and inclusion specialist by day / NYC stand-up comedy by night, she eventually decided to quit her day job to become a Diversity and Leadership keynote speaker.
Her engaging and humourous approach helps people take a deep look at everything they’ve ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask.

Leadership tips you won’t want to miss:
🎙️ Do the best they can with what they have some of the time
Jess Pettitt, M.Ed., CSP, has always had a foot in two different approaches to her life. Perhaps it is her Texas roots, but she believes to thrive in this world you have to ride two horses at once – one of humility and one of ego. This is why while hosting and performing stand-up in NYC she also worked as a diversity and inclusion specialist as a day job.
She quit her day job after a decade and almost 20 years later still uses humor to deliver actionable content related to everything you ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask. Though often referred to as a thought leader, Jess responds that she just makes leaders think.

Brine Hamilton remembers a time in his life when he had nothing but a futon and a TV he’d gotten from an abandoned store in his apartment. The TV didn’t even work properly and sat on the top of a box in his apartment. Since that time, Brine has built himself a fantastic career by fostering relationships.
As a system engineer at Omnigo Software, President Elect of the International Association for Healthcare, Security and Safety and host/co-host of 3 (that’s right 3!) podcasts, there’s a reason Brine was named as one of Canada’s top 10 under 40 by Canadian Security Magazine in 2020.
