She+ Geeks Out Podcast

Auteur(s): She+ Geeks Out
  • Résumé

  • We interview brilliant humans who share their journeys, insights, and experiences. Each interview is with someone from the Good Humans Club. We bring you the voices of those from all walks of life to share with you what they geek out about-- their passions, talents, struggles, and successes. This doesn't mean that they're going to be tech talks (although they might be!). Each episode will feature the hosts and their guests talking about topics including health, psychology, art, music, learning, and more-- the list goes on. Episodes are fun and engaging and provide some nuggets of information that you can take away. Oh, and yeah, they might be awkward sometimes. That's just how we roll.

  • Bonus Episode: How to Manage Discussions about the Election in the Workplace
    Nov 1 2024

    In this bonus episode, we share an Inclusion Geeks webinar that was recorded on October 30, 2024, between Felicia Jadczak and Katie Hyten, Co-Executive Director of Essential Partners. They explore the benefits and challenges of discussions about the election in the workplace, emphasizing the importance of employee agency, setting conversation norms, and ensuring psychological and emotional safety. Practical strategies include using opt-in mechanisms, conducting temperature checks, and de-escalating tensions through curiosity and structured dialogues.

    Webinar Description: The political landscape is changing rapidly. While discussing politics in the workplace can be uncomfortable and is often discouraged, it’s impossible to completely separate politics from work. Politics remains on many people’s minds and impacts actual lives and livelihoods. Managers and business leaders need to be prepared to support their teams through the various impacts of the election.

    Listen and find out how to best support your team members during times of political change.
