Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we are featuring one of the most impactful moments from episode 60, with guest, Mita Mallick. Does your workplace refer to you and your colleagues as one happy family? We're exploring why this language may not be beneficial for the individual.      Mita is renowned for her transformative impact in the corporate world and is currently spearheading inclusion, equity, and impact at Carta. Her writing has graced the pages of Fast Company, the New York Post, and Business Insider and her book, Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths To Transform Your Workplace, has been celebrated as a top business read.   This episode is just a short snippet that highlights the best and most powerful learning moment from a past episode. You can listen to the full episode (filled with more wisdom) here: Episode 60: Debunking Corporate Myths to Transform Your Workplace.   Key Discussion Points: 00:59 The Concept of Family in the Workplace: Your work colleagues are not your family. This analogy can be harmful in a capitalistic society where the main goal is revenue. 03:18 Compassionate Leadership in a Pragmatic Workplace: There needs to be a balance between caring for other people at work, especially if you are a leader, and at the same time acknowledging that you (and everybody else) are expendable. 05:08 Weaponising the Family Analogy in the Workplace: Early in your career especially, the family analogy can be weaponised. 06:40 Understanding the Language Used in Corporate: On one hand the family analogy is used to create a sense of community at work and something for people to rally around and on the other hand it can be abused.   In Summary: Mita Mallick urges us to not buy into the family analogy at work because everyone is ultimately expendable. She emphasizes the importance of clear boundaries and realistic expectations.   Resources from this episode: Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths To Transform Your Workplace by Mita Mallick Follow Mita on Linkedin.   Ready to make a change? → If you are struggling to navigate your corporate career but are ambitious and have goals you want to accomplish quickly, Olivia is the coach for you.

Many of us are familiar with the kind of person who easily earns the moniker ‘toxic' and instills fear, rage, and frustration in those around them.What do you do when you work with a toxic leader?How do you feel when toxic leaders continue to get promoted and receive accolades?And what do you do when others make excuses for these toxic leaders, like saying their skill set or network is too important to the organization and you have to “take the good with the bad?”Toxic leaders and cultures take a toll on you, especially when you have your own relational wounding history. You may try to speak up or feel shut down, but there's another common theme: How betrayed you feel when your experiences are met with silence, inaction, or retribution.We're at a critical moment regarding leading, accountability, and culture. But one thing that still feels constant is the impact of our history with relational wounding and relational trauma, and how that impacts how, or if, we speak up in the face of injustices from toxic leaders and toxic work culture.Today's guest wrote a book on the impact of toxic leaders and cultures, including how we often protect toxic leaders at great expense to the staff and the business. As someone who was bullied both as a child and in the workplace, she has some very special insight into this all-too-common experience.Mita Mallick is a corporate change-maker with a track record of transforming businesses.

Underrepresented groups face endless systemic barriers in the job search, workplace and beyond. Where do those obstacles come from? A lot of them emerge from myths perpetuated throughout the world of work. For example, people may say they're for diverse talent — as long as they're good. Or, they support women because they provide maternity leave.  Mita Mallick, who is LinkedIn Top Voice and inclusion champion, is out with a new bestselling book busting those myths and more to help transform workplaces. The book is Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths To Transform Your Workplace. Mita, who is also the co-host of the podcast Brown Table Talk, chatted about the book and what she hopes people will take away from it with LinkedIn News Early Career Development Editor Gianna Prudente on the latest episode of Get Hired. The two also discuss how to combat common misconceptions to ensure allyship happens both in the workplace and behind closed doors.  This episode is for anyone who wants to make sure they're creating a space of real and impactful diversity and inclusion for their coworkers.

We do this work for our kids, and for ourselves.  And when we talk about this work, there are a lot of spheres we need to change to make this world better for said kids - including schools, kitchen tables, policing and the false idea of law & order, public services, government, and the workplace. And, to focus on workplaces for a second, we always talk about how when we discuss racism, we're talking about the SYSTEMS that run our society – but we also make it really clear that systems are made up of people, and so if we don't take the time to do some inner work, we won't be making changes to the systems that'll be meaningful and sustainable.    That's why we love this discussion we're about to bring you, about reimagining inclusion in the workplace.  It was really a fantastic action-oriented book that lays out practical things that you can do in the workplace to help uproot systemic racism, literally things you can start doing differently TODAY.  And you know how much we love practical action-oriented things - it sort of reminded me of our own book's listen/learn/act framework! Plus, we are huge fans of Mita Mallick, who if you aren't following on LinkedIn already, you should be.  So listen in, and if you like what you hear, go on and do two things - order the book Reimagine Inclusion, and then go tell someone at work about Mita's work so you can bring her into your organization and deepen the change!   What to listen for: How Reimagine Inclusion is different from other books on DEI in the workplace Some of the 13 myths that Mita deconstructs How we should frame the role of white men and women in this work Where the cultures of companies seem to be headed right now   About Mita:  Mita Mallick is a corporate change-maker with a track record of transforming businesses.
