It is a New Season and we’re thrilled to finally bring you some exciting updates! Today marks a significant transition for our podcast. After months of anticipation, we are ready to unveil our new direction. Marjolijn Vlug, our beloved co-host, has decided to step down as she has decided to shift her professional focus and realign her priorities. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for her invaluable contributions over the past six years. Marjolijn’s insights and wisdom have truly shaped this podcast, and we will miss her presence. However, she will continue to be an enthusiastic listener and supporter of the show. If you'd like to continue following Marjolijn’s journey, you can catch her on the Global Inclusion Podcast alongside Vivian Acquah. We highly recommend checking it out! Welcoming Our New Co-Host We are excited to announce that Ann Betz from Be Above Leadership will be joining Lisa as the new co-host! Ann is a renowned figure in the coaching and leadership space, known for her expertise as a coach, author, and international speaker. In our upcoming season, Ann and Lisa will delve deep into the pressing issue of toxicity in the workplace. With Ann’s extensive knowledge in leadership, neuroscience, and relational trauma, we are eager to explore this topic. Why Focus on Workplace Toxicity? In this new season, we aim to shine a light on the pervasive issue of toxicity in the workplace. Here’s why this topic is so important: Widespread Impact: Toxicity is no longer confined to small pockets; its effects are felt across organizations. Many individuals are suffering but lack the language or understanding to articulate their experiences. Subtle Yet Harmful: Toxic behaviors often manifest in small, cumulative ways—what we like to call “death by a thousand paper cuts.” These minor incidents can have a profound impact over time. Personal Experience: Throughout Lisa’s career, she has encountered numerous toxic environments, often without realizing it at the time. Reflecting on these experiences has been a significant learning journey, one which she wishes to share in the hopes others can be spared. Join Us on This Journey We are excited to embark on this journey with you as we explore the complexities of workplace toxicity.Stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring insightful discussions with Ann Betz and other experts in the field.
