So he quit and devoted himself to nothing less than transforming the workplace, turning it into a space of respect, courtesy, and endless energy. He is on a mission to  inspire current and future leaders to start a movement that will banish on-the-job bullying, put meaning back into work, and enhance coworkers' happiness and engagement.Tune in to explore how we can all improve the way we communicate and promote a healthier social environment.Who is Shola Richards?Author and speaker focused on civility and kindness in the workplaceFounder and CEO Go Together Global™Advocate for mental health and well-being through respectful discourseWhat You'll Discover:

Shola Richards' life's mission is an ambitious one: To end generations of professional suffering, simply by changing how we treat each other at work. An advocate for positive change, Shola addresses the often-ignored issue of workplace bullying by highlighting its impact on trust, communication, and company resources. With a focus on unveiling the cost of toxic behaviors, Shola offers practical solutions for creating healthier work environments. At his core, Shola is an advocate and humanitarian, guiding us back to our shared humanity. Shola shares his insights as a speaker, coach, consultant, and author. His work includes the best-selling books Go Together and Making Work Work, with a third booking coming out in late 2024.   I met Shola a year ago at an incredible NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) workshop. I immediately gravitated toward his genuine warmth and openness. Shola is a remarkable human-being, making a huge impact. In this episode, we discuss: ●      The transformative power of sharing mental health stories ●      The importance of practicing civility in modern-day discourse ●      The often-overlooked distinction between being nice and being kind Key Takeaways: ●      Embracing Ubuntu: "I Am Because We Are". Imagine a world where we live by the profound ethos of ubuntu, an African philosophy that teaches, "I am because we are." This philosophy illuminates our inherent interconnectedness. It suggests that our humanity is inextricably linked to the humanity of others, and that our personal well-being is anchored in the collective well-being of society. Shola's exploration of ubuntu in Go Together suggests that adopting this worldview could revolutionize our approach to life, work, and leadership. Ultimately, transforming the world around us. ●      Cultivating Culture: A Collective Responsibility. We are all collectively responsible for the culture we live in, the culture we work in, and the culture we're passing down to the next generation. Simply put, culture is just a collection of the norms we accept, or no longer accept. Culture is powerful because it permeates everything. Seeping into how we behave, how we view the world, and how we view ourselves. What we have compassion for and what we judge. What cultural norms don't feel right to you? When have you felt like you had to “play the game” when your insides were boiling or crumbling? What if, next time you felt that way, you took a deep breath and said “That didn't sit well with me. Can you please explain what you meant?”. This could invite a courageous dialogue that might just help pave the road to a better culture. ●      Protecting the Heart of the Workplace: Listening to the Empaths. In environments that feel cold and disconnected, those most in touch with their humanity—the empaths—feel the impact most sharply. They are the canary in the coal mine, alerting us to psychological hazards that lurk within toxic cultures. For leaders, the call to action is clear: listen and respond. Ignoring toxic behaviors erodes morale, diminishes trust in leadership, and questions the organizational commitment to employee well-being. Remember, your employees are building your company's future. Their success is your success. As leaders, it's your job to foster a nurturing environment where every team member can thrive, innovate, and excel.  References: ●      Connect with Shola on LinkedIn ●      Shola's website ●      Books by Shola: ○      Making Work Work: The Solution for Bringing Positive Change to Any Work Environment ○      Go Together: How the Concept of Ubuntu will Change How We Work, Live and Lead ●      Keep an eye out for Shola's next book due out September 2024 ○      Civil Unity: The Radical Path to Transform Our Discourse, Our Lives, and Our World  Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

If you've worked any time at all, then you've worked in some place that was unhealthy. Maybe it was full of gossip and backstabbing. Or perhaps there was one disgruntled employee who just made the whole place miserable. Or perhaps you or one of your colleagues was bullied. Toxic workplaces take an emotional toll. They're exhausting. Draining. Demoralizing.What can we do as leaders to create a healthy workplace culture right from the very start? How do we turn around one that's developed some sort of trouble spot? And how do we contribute to a healthier and happier workplace through our own attitude and resiliency? In “The Heart of a Healthy Workplace,” speaker, author, and workplace culture consultant Shola Richards talks to us about creating a healthy workplace environment.Topics in this episode:Toxic workplaces (1:25)Leadership: Sink or swim (7:50)Return to the office post-pandemic (10:23)The strongest teams (16:08)Crucial Conversations (22:34)Tough love self-care (32:25)The next normal (39:42)Inclusion and belonging (41:52)Learn more about NCA and CACs (45:06)Links:Shola Richards is the founder and CEO of GoTogether Global and a keynote speaker, coach, and consultant.

We’re talking about how to become more aware of how you treat people, and we’re talking about the need to restore kindness and civility into our everyday lives.    Episode Highlights Our shared love of This or Something Better Shola’s Goal to change the world and how we treat each other at work, home, and beyond Shola’s personal story  Remain in curiosity and stay out of judgment Don’t let your mood determine your manners The lack of kindness and civility in our world Leadership in the workplace and beyond The importance of self-awareness Three questions to ask yourself.

His result is people equipped with tangible, doable solutions because we can’t accomplish what we can’t make actionable. His conviction is that everyone deserves a healthy work environment because the quality and meaning of our work suffers when we do. Through his books, Go Together (https://amzn.to/2BpDix8 ) and Making Work Work (http://amzn.to/1YYdh8U ) and featured articles that have reached readers in over 160 countries, and through his presentations with institutions that range from Silicon Valley businesses to the Department of Homeland Security, Shola is spearheading a timely revolution that teaches us how to protect the professionalism of our company cultures, the preciousness of our time, the strength of our talents, the dignity of ourselves, and the mutual respect of one another.    Connect With Shola Richards Email Shola@sholarichards.com  Shola’s website www.sholarichards.com  Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/sholarichards/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SholaRichardsOfficial/  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sholarichards/   ---   Subscribe to the This or Something Better podcast!
