In this episode, he breaks down the pillars that make trust real and actionable in the Indian workplace. Reliability tops the list, keeping promises and delivering on commitments.

High-masking ND grind burning you out? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April tackles sustainable success for neurodivergent high-achievers with Garrett Wood, National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach/clinical hypnotherapist/executive functioning specialist and founder of Gnosis Therapy. With 18+ years helping masking professionals (autism/ADHD), Garrett's A³ Framework (Assess, Accommodate, Align) bridges nervous-system needs/environment demands—focusing on sensory intelligence/bio-budgets/emotional regulation/core beliefs/attachment/values/executive functioning to end boom-bust cycles. Key insights: High-masking exhaustion: Socialization gaps (hiding "not okay" parts); safe environments reduce friction—authentic self without danger. Sensory intelligence: Preferences/thresholds (too much/little stimulation); interoception (body cues like hunger/anxiety); accommodations (headphones/compression/breaks/sensory backpack). Bio-budgets/time under tension: ND shifts (16-18 hrs masking vs. NT 4-5 hrs); small reps/recovery (car breaks/garden/dust books) prevent overload. Autistic vs. NT burnout: Intensity/scale difference (ND extreme effort); recovery longer (6-7 months vs. quick)—focus well-being (not grit/willpower myth). Hypnotherapy: Self-hypnosis (daydream state for mindset/social/sleep); practice positive experiences (e.g., anxiety scenarios going well). A³ for control: Assess needs (triggers/supports), Accommodate (e.g., oils/masks), Align (values as guardrails); early overload signs (tension/shutdown). Workplace/young adults: Advocate (ROI from inclusion); trial/error (hot/cold days); natural responses (eat/move/sleep) over deadlines. For autistic/ADHD young adults/entrepreneurs in masking fatigue, Garrett's vibe: "Sustainable success through well-being—not expense." Free resources at gnosistherapy.com.

In Episode 141 of Surviving Your Journey Towards Success, host Nichel Anderson explores a critical and often overlooked issue—emotional abuse in the workplace. This episode dives deep into understanding why such toxic behavior continues to thrive in professional environments and what individuals can do to protect their mental and emotional well-being. Nichel explains that emotional abuse festers when unhealthy power dynamics, fear-based leadership, and lack of accountability become normalized. In many workplaces, subtle forms of manipulation, exclusion, or verbal hostility are dismissed as “just part of the job.” Over time, this creates a culture where employees feel powerless, undervalued, and emotionally drained. Nichel emphasizes that recognizing these patterns is the first step toward change. She offers practical strategies for those facing toxic environments. One key approach is setting emotional boundaries—learning to detach from the negativity and not internalize abusive behavior. Another is documenting incidents to maintain clarity and evidence if escalation becomes necessary. Nichel also encourages seeking support from trusted colleagues, HR, or professional networks to avoid isolation. For leaders and organizations, Nichel highlights the importance of fostering empathy, transparency, and open communication. A healthy workplace culture begins with accountability and respect at every level. This episode serves as both a wake-up call and a motivational guide for anyone navigating emotional challenges at work. Nichel's insights remind listeners that healing and empowerment start with awareness and action. Tune in to Episode 141 of Surviving Your Journey Towards Success to gain valuable strategies and a renewed perspective on overcoming emotional abuse in the workplace—moving forward with strength, clarity, and purpose.

What happens when two female lawyers from different countries realize they're fighting the same battles? In this powerful conversation, Erin sits down with Odette Ansell—a Canadian litigator and host of the Non-Billable Hours podcast—to talk about the universal struggles female lawyers face: loneliness, identity crisis, the pressure to "have it all," and the desperate need for community. They discuss why it's so hard to separate your identity from your job, what to do when you feel stuck, and why vulnerability might be the bravest thing you do as a lawyer. If you've ever felt like you're the only one crumbling while everyone else looks like they're crushing it—this episode is your reminder that you're not alone.About Odette AnsellOdette Ansell is a Canadian litigator and the host of Non-Billable Hours, a podcast dedicated to honest conversations about life in and beyond the law.

“There is so much emotional energy moving, a lot of grief for people, and I think largely a lot of that is stemming from the fact that we are ending this nine year cycle... there is definitely a shift amidst us and I think we all can feel it.”We're standing at the edge of a massive energetic threshold. In this 2025 wrap-up, I'm not just recapping the year; I'm diving deep into the completion of a profound nine-year cycle that began in 2017. If you've been feeling a heavy mix of grief, transformation, and a relentless push toward authenticity, you're not alone... you're exactly where you need to be.In this episode, I'm sharing my unfiltered thoughts on why the idea of "going back to normal" after 2020 was always an illusion and how we're collectively moving into a clearer, more prominent shift in 2026. I open up about my own journey, from the intuitive hits I had as a child watching The Terminator to the career-shattering moments as a school counselor that forced me to choose my own truth over arbitrary rules. We explore why playing by the system's handbook often means betraying your own intuition, and why true trauma healing requires us to stop performing and start embodying who we actually are.This is a rant, a reflection, and a roadmap all in one. We discuss the trap of pop psychology, the unconscious family dynamics we replay in our workplaces, and why 2026 is shaping up to be the "Year of the Individual." If you're ready to leave behind what you think you should do and finally step into what truly resonates for you, this episode is for you.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSThe 2025 Energy ShiftEnding the Nine-Year CycleAwakening to a new planetary reality after 2020The Terminator: My trigger to a deep soul-knowing about the global shiftsFrom a school counselor role to "the system is a dead-end street"Trauma in the Workplace: confronting my people-pleasing tendenciesSibling rivalry and parental projections in our professional environments2026: The Year of YouHow to work with me in the new year**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Get a $500 discount when you join The Metamorphosis before 2025 ends.

Christine Crouch, Senior Director of Learning at General Mills, joins Workplace Stories to discuss a massive shift in how one of the world's legacy food companies approaches talent development. General Mills has recently transitioned to a centralized and integrated learning model.In this episode, Christine lays out one of the clearest cases for centralization we have heard. While efficiency is a benefit, she argues that the true drivers are decision-making power and better data. By unifying the function, General Mills gains a stronger view of learning activity and business needs, creating the strategic infrastructure necessary for the future of work.You'll hear how Christine's team manages to be centralized without losing the "local feel" through a robust Learning Business Partner model. She also details how centralization unlocks the ability to correlate learning metrics with talent outcomes like retention and performance. Finally, Christine shares her philosophy on AI, not as a replacement for human connection, but as a tool to elevate the human side of learning.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[06:07] Background on General Mills and its culture.[07:00] The shift from decentralized to centralized L&D.[11:11] How to make centralization feel local to business stakeholders.[18:30] The Learning Business Partner model explained.[21:07] Correlating learning metrics with talent outcomes.[27:58] Managing "rogue purchases" in a centralized model.[34:20] Why AI will elevate, not replace, the human side of learning.[47:35] Piloting AI coaching tools like "Nadia".The Strategic Case for CentralizationFor many organizations, the move to centralize L&D is purely a cost-cutting exercise. However, Christine frames the shift at General Mills as a play for better data and strategic decision-making. A centralized function provides a unified view of the organization's needs, allowing L&D to prioritize investments that drive enterprise-wide capabilities rather than just solving isolated functional problems. As AI accelerates, this strong data infrastructure is what will allow the organization to distinguish between what people actually need to know versus what can be offloaded to technology.The Learning Business Partner ModelCentralization often brings the fear of losing touch with the business. General Mills solves this through the "Learning Business Partner" role, individuals who sit on the leadership teams of specific functions or segments but report back to the central L&D organization. These partners act as a bridge; they understand the HR strategy and business plans of their specific function while ensuring continuity with the broader enterprise goals. They are expected to be performance consultants first, identifying the root problems to solve rather than just taking orders for training.AI: Elevating the Human ElementChristine's approach to AI is grounded in optimism and human-centricity. She believes AI will not replace the human side of learning but elevate it. General Mills is actively piloting AI for tasks like personalization, automation, and coaching via a tool called "Nadia," which acts as an "always-on" coach. However, Christine emphasizes that deep skill building, like change leadership, still requires human connection, peer discussion, and the ability to "read the room," skills that AI cannot fully replicate. Connect with Christine CrouchChristine Crouch on LinkedIn Connect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn TwitterSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

Is it possible to have a brain wired for entrepreneurship, but actually thrive best within traditional employment? In this insightful episode, host Diann Wingert flips the script on the common narrative in both the ADHD and business worlds: that entrepreneurial traits automatically mean you should start your own business. Instead, she explores the concept of intrapreneurship—bringing creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit into an existing organization—and how this path might be the most strategic decision for many ADHDers.If you're wrestling with the decision to go solo or stay employed, give this episode a listen. It just might give you permission to build a life—and career—that truly works for your brain.Three key takeaways:Entrepreneurial traits ≠ Entrepreneurial career: You can be creative, visionary, and disruptive without having to start your own business. Don't fall for the myth that employment is “settling.”Intrapreneurship unlocks impact & stability: Express your entrepreneurial strengths inside an organization. Lead without authority, innovate processes, and treat your role like you own it—while benefiting from structure, resources, and a steady paycheck.Signs that traditional employment isn't right for you:Not everyone is meant to shine as an intrapreneur. If every manager is a nightmare, structure feels suffocating, or your best ideas die in committee, maybe going solo is your move. But it's all about matching your brain and real life with the right path—not shame, not hustle-culture FOMO.Workplace roles & cultures where ADHD-ish traits thrive:Look for product development, business strategy, internal consulting, startups, project-based work, or innovation labs. Go where experimenters are rewarded, hierarchies are flatter, and outcomes matter more than bureaucracy.Mic Drop Moment:“Infrastructure isn't the enemy of innovation. Structure, when it's the right structure, is what lets your brain do what it does best without getting derailed by all the shit you hate doing."Action Step:Take 10 mins for honest self-reflection. Where do you really do your best work? What structure supports you? Then, make the choice that serves your life—not LinkedIn optics or anyone else's expectations.About the Host:Diann Wingert (she/her) is seasoned coach, consultant and the creator/host of ADHD-ish. Drawing from her many years of experience as a former psychotherapist, business owner, and someone who thinks "outside the box," Diann is known for her straight-talking, no-nonsense approach to the intersection of neurodiversity and the world of work.Enjoyed the Episode?Share your thoughts! Leave a review and let Diann know what resonated, challenged, or inspired you. Your feedback helps ADHD-ish reach more listeners who need to hear these honest conversations. © 2025 ADHD-ish Podcast.

How should Christian faith shape work in an era of pluralism, fear, and systemic inequality? Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund (Rice University) is presenting new insights for faith at work through data, theology, and lived experience. "People love to talk about individual ethics … but what was really hard for them to think about was, what would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" In this episode, Ecklund joins Mark Labberton to reflect on moving from individual morality toward systemic responsibility, dignity, and other-centred Christian witness at work. Together they discuss faith and work, the gender and race gaps created by systemic injustice, fear and power, religious diversity, rest and human limits, gender and racial marginalization, and the cost of a credible Christian witness. Episode Highlights "People love to talk about individual ethics." "What would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" "People are much more apt to take us seriously if we first take them seriously." "Suppression of faith in particular is not the answer." "God is God and I am not." About Elaine Howard Ecklund Elaine Howard Ecklund is professor of sociology at Rice University and director of the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance. She is a leading sociologist of religion, science, and work whose research examines how faith operates in professional and institutional life. Ecklund has led large-scale empirical studies on religion in workplaces and scientific communities, supported by the National Science Foundation, Templeton Foundation, and Lilly Endowment. She is the author or co-author of several influential books, including Working for Better, Why Science and Faith Need Each Other, and Science vs. Religion.

This conversation offers practical, forward-looking perspectives for anyone shaping strategy, space, and culture in today's workplace.

This headline somehow feels both shocking and completely unsurprising.The McKinsey and Lean In Women in the Workplace study is out, and the takeaway is bleak. Fewer companies care about advancing women. Even fewer care about advancing women of color. And somehow, we are now talking about an “ambition gap” like women just collectively woke up and decided to want less.Let's be clear. Women are still paid less. Still underrepresented in the rooms that matter. Still doing most of the work at home. Still being asked to show up like nothing else changed after Covid, after MeToo, after the great return to office squeeze.On this episode of Net Net, we talk about why this moment at work feels so brittle. Why job security feels fake. Why trust in the promise of work is eroding. And why more women are quietly asking themselves what all this effort is actually for.This is not about one group winning and another losing. That zero-sum framing is part of the problem. The real work is opening the aperture. More voices. More paths. More people being given a real shot, and actually being supported when they take it.If you work with people, lead people, or care about what work is turning into right now, this one is worth your time.This is WORK Net/Net.
