There's a lot of buzz about workplace culture these days—and for good reason. In this week's episode of Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita, I'm diving into the importance of culture and how shifting workforce demographics are making inclusive leadership not just a nice-to-have, but a business imperative. With projections showing that by 2050, half the workforce will be racially and culturally diverse—including a rise in neurodiversity and people with disabilities—organizations must rethink how they lead, engage, and foster belonging.A strong, inclusive culture isn't just about doing the right thing—it's about building environments where people want to stay. When employees feel seen, valued, and empowered, they're more loyal, more productive, and more invested in your mission. This episode is full of insight and energy, and if you're a leader who cares about the future of work, you won't want to miss it. Tune in and let's talk about what it really means to lead in a way that embraces difference and builds belonging from the inside out.#WorkplaceCulture #Culture #FutureofWork #WorkplaceBelonging #TalentRetention #KeepingItReal #DoctorAnita

Over 70% of leads never hear back from agents—are you one of them? Learn how to transform your follow-up game and avoid the chaos of poor tech transitions with real strategies that convert.In this tactical episode of Agent Power Huddle, Sara dive into two hot topics every real estate pro needs to master:Seamless communication systems — including the struggle (and solution) behind moving a 2,000-member group from Workplace to Slack, and how to manage team transitions without losing momentum.Next-level follow-up strategies — where Sara breaks down exactly why 70% of real estate leads are lost and what you can do to make sure you're not leaving deals on the table.

As a C-Suite Trusted Advisor, I often say: just because something is efficient doesn't mean it's equitable. In this week's episode of Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita, I take a detour from our usual focus on belonging to explore a timely topic—Artificial Intelligence in HR. While AI can streamline processes like hiring and performance reviews, it can also unintentionally reinforce existing biases, especially when the data it's trained on isn't equitable to begin with.AI should support—not replace—human decision-making. When it comes to people's dignity, advancement, and sense of belonging, we can't afford to get this wrong. This episode unpacks how leaders can use AI responsibly, why transparency and human oversight are non-negotiable, and what it really takes to foster fairness in a tech-driven workplace. If you're serious about inclusive leadership and building a culture that thrives in the future of work, I invite you to tune in and join the conversation.#ExecutiveCoaching #InclusiveLeadership #FutureOfWork #AIinHR #WorkplaceEquity #DoctorAnita #KeepingInReal #BelongingAtWork #LeadershipDevelopment

In one of my favorite episodes of Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita, “DEI as a Strategic Business Imperative,” I make the case—again and again—that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging aren't just moral imperatives—they're smart business. The data is clear: companies with diverse leadership outperform their peers, innovate more effectively, and experience higher employee engagement and retention. DEI also helps brands build stronger connections with today's values-driven consumers. If you're in the C-suite and still treating DEI as optional, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover why inclusive leadership is a competitive advantage.#InclusiveLeadership #StrategicLeadership #BelongingAtWork #CLevelLeadership #ExecutiveCoaching #OrganizationalCulture #LeadershipDevelopment #KeepItReal #DoctorAnita

Radio personality Jon Williams opens up about the art of authentic endorsements and his journey from failed baseball aspirations to becoming one of Northwest Arkansas' most recognizable voices. Williams shares how he pioneered a unique business model where he receives no salary from his radio station, instead earning his living entirely through commissions from brand partnerships. What sets Williams apart isn't just his entrepreneurial approach, but his unwavering commitment to exclusivity. While most radio personalities might promote competing businesses on the same day, Williams maintains strict brand category exclusivity. "I won't have competing brands on my show," he explains, creating tremendous value for his 26 partners ranging from local businesses to national giants like Nestlé and Coca-Cola. This exclusivity has fostered remarkable loyalty, with many partners renewing year after year.The turning point in Williams' career came from advice given by the late Cameron Smith, a legendary figure in Northwest Arkansas' business community. "John, you're a brand," Smith told him. "Build your brand. Don't build anyone else's brands, but yours and people that pay you to build theirs." This perspective shift transformed Williams' approach, helping him understand that his greatest asset was authenticity - only endorsing products he actually uses and believes in.Williams also shares his deep connection to Northwest Arkansas, from emceeing charity galas that have raised millions for causes like type 1 diabetes research to his role announcing University of Arkansas sports. Through it all, his philosophy remains steadfast: real value comes from genuine relationships, not just transactions. For anyone looking to build a personal brand or create lasting business partnerships, Williams' journey offers a masterclass in the power of authenticity and strategic exclusivity.

Why Hank Parker Walked Away From Fishing Fame | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 431 Legendary angler and TV host Hank Parker joins Matt and Tim on this week's 100% Wild Podcast, powered by DeerCast. From dominating the Bassmaster Classic to starring in outdoor TV since the '80s, Hank reflects on his unbelievable career in the outdoors—and the moment he nearly lost it all in a treestand accident. The guys talk about public perception around hunting (including the blowback from Matt's recent bear harvest), how Ray Scott turned largemouth bass into America's favorite sportfish, and the early days of outdoor television when cameras were the size of briefcases.

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're talking about the kind of trust fall that doesn't involve closing your eyes and hoping Linda from Accounting catches you. Nope—we're talking about the invisible, emotional kind. The one that happens during reorgs, layoffs, and those delightfully vague “strategic shifts” when your team is quietly wondering, “Are we safe? Can we trust you? Or should I start updating my LinkedIn headline to ‘Open to Work'?” If you're leading through change (or just trying to survive it)—this snack is for you. The Problem: Here's the situation: Your company is “reimagining,” “realigning,” or “restructuring”—aka, no one knows what's actually happening. And while the all-hands slides say “exciting opportunities ahead,” your team is refreshing their résumés and watching your every move. Why? Because trust doesn't disappear in a reorg—it falls. And someone's gotta catch it. That someone? You. Trust isn't built through promises—it's built through presence. Through honesty. Through leaders who are willing to say: “Here's what I know. Here's what I don't. And here's what I do know—we'll figure it out together.” The Improv Hack to Try: The “Yes, And… But Also” Technique Here's how to lead when everything's unclear—without pretending to have all the answers.Use this structure when delivering change or uncertainty: “Yes, and…” to validate what's real and open space for what's possible “But also…” to acknowledge fears and bring humanity into the room  Try this: “Yes, we're going through changes, and I know that can feel unsettling. But also—I believe in this team's ability to stay connected and support one another.” It's not spin. It's not sugarcoating. It's leadership that's rooted in reality and hope. Try it at your next team meeting. Watch what happens when trust stops falling—and starts rising. Coming up Wednesday: If this snack hit home, don't miss Wednesday's full-length episode: Episode 294 — Layoffs Ahead? Here's How to Stay Human (and Keep Your Team's Trust).

In this episode of Keeping It Real, the rant king does what he does best: cutting through the B.S. with brutal clarity and biting humor. He and Jillian tackle the intentional demolition of California under Gavin Newsom's watch, from the homelessness epidemic and out-of-control wildfires to the high cost of living, decaying infrastructure, and virtue-signaling policies that are driving residents out in droves. Along the way, Adam lets loose on political hypocrisy & identifies the politicians he thinks are the most dangerous. Plus, he slams Hollywood groupthink, the culture war on men, and why common sense has become a radical act.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
