Jennifer McNelly, CAE, CEO of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), discusses the Intersociety Forum (ISF) and a recent report calling for a shift in how safety is embedded in business strategy. Representing nearly 30 safety and health organizations, the ISF advocates moving beyond legal compliance toward risk-based, proactive safety management systems. Jennifer explores why compliance alone hasn't lowered fatality rates and how industry consensus standards, predictive data insights, and integrated safety strategies can drive better outcomes—not just for workers, but for business performance. She also highlights why now is the time for unity and how safety professionals can become influential change agents within their organizations. This conversation is packed with actionable insights for safety leaders looking to align safety and strategic value—and to help shape the future of workplace protection.

“By the time that person's come to work, it's cost them 50 bucks for transport, lunch, coffee. So what is the experience they're going to get going into work for a day, because they could easily just stay at home.”   This is a special episode only available to our podcast subscribers, which we call The Mini Chief. These are short, sharp highlights from our fabulous guests, where you get a 5 to 10 minute snapshot from their full episode. This Mini Chief episode features Brad Krauskopf, Founder & CEO of Hub Australia.

Summary:In this episode, Greg chats with AJ Leece, the founder of Brekade, a studio transforming security training into engaging, story-driven video games. From his roots in ethical hacking to building games like “Fishing Expedition” and “SecOps Chaos,” AJ shares how he's gamifying the most dreaded parts of corporate training—and why that's the future of workplace education.Key Takeaways: Gamifying corporate training turns passive learners into active participants. Boring topics (like InfoSec) come to life when wrapped in story and play. You don't need to be a full-stack developer to build great games—just curiosity and courage. Player feedback = gold. AJ evolved his product based on student reactions. “Productive laziness” is a feature, not a bug—automate the boring to unleash creativity.Top Moments: 04:52 — The D20 That Started It All: How AJ turned a dull compliance class into a D&D-inspired tabletop game. 13:44 — Goombas and Burnout: A sneak peek at “SecOps Chaos,” AJ's synthwave burnout simulator for security pros. 19:40 — Cheap Wings, Big Ideas: AJ's midweek pub sessions and the notebook that fuels his creativity. 25:34 — Changing Perception, One Game at a Time: Why mid-sized companies are the sweet spot for gamified training. 42:26 — Turning Weakness into a System: AJ shares how he built an app to capture ideas on the fly—his secret weapon against creative blockers.Guest Links: Brekade Website AJ Leece on LinkedIn

Workplace wellness is broken. Free snacks, ping-pong tables, yoga-at-lunch—none of it actually works if your workplace culture is toxic or disconnected. So what does create a thriving, healthy work environment? According to today's guests, it starts with leadership—and it's a lot less about perks and a lot more about people. We're diving deep into the real future of workplace wellness with Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer, co-founders of Workr Beeing and co-authors of the book Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives. These two powerhouse I/O psychologists have spent their careers studying what actually works when it comes to employee well-being, team dynamics, and leadership. Spoiler alert: most wellness programs are missing the mark completely. Workplace wellness doesn't start with nap pods or smoothie bars—it starts with people feeling seen, heard, and valued. If you're a leader, this episode is your wake-up call. If you're not a leader, it's your permission to want more than burnout and survival.

We're living in a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are under fire—from boycott threats against inclusive brands to coordinated campaigns aimed at dismantling DEI in government, corporate, and educational spaces. As organizations face pressure to retreat, some are rolling back the very initiatives designed to create belonging and equity at work.But retreat isn't an option for those of us committed to inclusion, belonging, and values-based leadership.With April being Celebrate Diversity Month, this felt like the right time to talk about what's happening, and what we can do to keep creating supportive, thriving environments despite the pushback.

So I've invited my friend, fellow speaker, and inclusion expert Michelle Silverthorn for a conversation that's both timely and necessary. She shares insight into the work she does and how she empowers employees and leaders to build inclusive cultures where people can truly thrive.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Michelle and I explore the role of belonging in workplace culture, today and in the future.

Workplace productivity is at a crossroads. Despite an explosion of modern collaboration tools, miscommunication, unclear project requirements, and inefficient meetings continue to derail projects, wasting valuable time and resources. A staggering 41% of workers report that making a simple decision can take up to three hours due to unproductive meetings—so what's going wrong? In this episode, Bryan, Chief Evangelist at Lucid Software, joins me to break down the research that shows how these inefficiencies are hurting businesses. We discuss how visual collaboration tools can bridge the gap, offering a structured framework to align teams, streamline workflows, and eliminate costly misunderstandings. Bryan shares insights on why agile practices could be the answer, revealing that while 68% of workers see tangible benefits from agile methodologies, many organizations are still reluctant to adopt them. We also dive into the biggest roadblocks to change—resistance from employees, misconceptions about agile practices, and fear of disruption. Bryan lays out a practical roadmap for introducing agile in a way that doesn't overwhelm teams but instead fosters engagement, efficiency, and innovation. From quick daily scrums to structured retrospectives, we explore simple yet powerful ways teams can evolve their approach to collaboration without feeling like they're overhauling everything at once. And in a historic moment for the podcast, we break a record today—an entire, deeply insightful conversation about technology and business without mentioning AI! So, how can companies shift away from outdated working behaviours and embrace visual collaboration and agile methodologies?

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!What if the future of workplace dynamics hinges on a single legal battle? This episode unpacks the groundbreaking case of former NFL player Teyo Johnson's lawsuit against EveryRealm and its CEO, Janine Yorio, centered around allegations of sexual harassment and a controversial "KYP game." As we navigate this complex legal landscape, we highlight the transformative Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (EFAA), which empowers employees to sidestep mandatory arbitration and take their claims to court. This pivotal shift could redefine how companies address workplace harassment, ushering in a new era of accountability and employee empowerment.We explore the significance of understanding employment contracts and the invaluable role of meticulous documentation when facing harassment or discrimination. Johnson's experience serves as a crucial reminder of the enduring importance of respect, fairness, and accountability, even in the rapidly evolving metaverse work environment. By examining how laws like Title VII and the New York City Human Rights Law are applied, this conversation sheds light on the evolving legal system that supports employees more than ever. Join us as we discuss how Johnson's case could reshape power dynamics in workplaces and encourage companies to take proactive steps against harassment.Click here to read the case decision in Teyo v. Everyrealm 22 civ 6669 (SDNY Oct. 6 2022).This episode involves the Johnson v. Everyrealm, Inc. case, where a former employee sued his employer and executives for race and pay discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation. The employer sought to compel arbitration based on an employment agreement, but the employee argued that the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (EFAA) of 2021 prevented this. The court ruled that the employee's sexual harassment claims, plausibly alleging unwanted gender-based conduct in New York City, were sufficient to invoke the EFAA. Consequently, the court denied the employer's motion to compel arbitration, allowing the entire case to proceed. The court's decision hinged on interpreting the EFAA's scope to encompass the entire case, not just the sexual harassment claims.

Whenever we talk about recruiting automation, there is always a persistent narrative in favor of retaining the human touch in some way, shape, or form. While technology now enables us to interact in increasingly conversational ways, there's still an irreplaceable quality in human-to-human, face-to-face dialogue that no machine or video can fully replicate. So, how can we enhance the effectiveness of our conversations in both professional and personal settings? And could asking more powerful, thoughtful questions lead to better hiring outcomes?  My guest this week is Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Topaz Adizes, founder of experience design studio The Skin Deep. Having conducted over 1,200 filmed conversations exploring human connection, Topaz has gained profound insights into what makes questions transformative. In our discussion, he shares what his work has taught him about crafting questions that break down barriers and foster authentic dialogue—lessons that can help us all engage more meaningfully in the workplace and beyond. In the interview, we discuss: Lessons learned from filming 1,200 conversations How conversations build relationships Avoiding power plays and making a safe space for conversation The importance of well-constructed questions Curiosity and openness in job interviews The power of bringing unrelated concepts together Connective questions Listening versus speaking Can AI write effective questions? The differences between face-to-face and virtual conversations What's the future of workplace conversations? Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts. Follow this podcast on Spotify
