“If you don’t like what’s being said…change the conversation.”

– Don Draper From AMC’s Madmen

The work environment can be tough.  It can be even tougher if you’ve got a team member that is pushing the boundaries.  This week on the podcast, I talk to my good friend, Sarah Gibson, CSP, about how far we’ve come as a society and (quite frankly) how far we still need to go to move from a “Mad Men” mentality to creating a culture of respect where team members flourish.  Sarah is an expert at helping leaders have those difficult conversations so everyone feels heard.  It’s time to embrace #metoo, get past compliance and have a real conversation. Check it out!  She’s the BOMB!
