    Develop People. Develop Culture.

    Develop People. Develop Culture.

    How does the company culture in which you work now help you become? To transform from where you are to where you’re called to be?
    That’s a big question and one we’re exploring today on this episode of the Work Positive podcast.
    Another way of thinking about becoming is developing how the company culture facilitates persons’ relationship skills and emotional intelligence.
    Sabine Gedeon is Dr. Joey’s guest on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast. She’s the author of Transformed: The Journey to Becoming. Sabine and Dr. Joey talk about how company culture can:
    🌞 develop emotional intelligence and relationship skills
    🌞 implement the boomerang strategy to provide fulfillment for retiring boomers and offer learning opportunities for Gen Zs.
    🌞 build trust with Gen Zs through trust and clear pathways for advancement.

    Beyond Bullying a Story of Triumph

    Beyond Bullying a Story of Triumph

    Ever been bullied?
    I don’t just mean in middle school by that kid who stole your lunch money. Yea, that happened to me.
    I mean at work by your supervisor? Who then fired you?
    Psychological safety suffers in a toxic work culture like this. And if it’s happened to you, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
    S. Renee Smith, my guest on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast, had this very experience. Rather than get bitter, she got better. She evolved from that disastrous experience to launch an amazing career as a self-esteem, branding and communications expert, speaker, and certified professional coach. She’s worked with corporations such as Cigna, Bank of America, KeyBank, and Wal-Mart. She’s also the creator and presenter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Senior Leadership Program, Powerful Leaders: Transform Your Personal Brand and Executive Presence. She was the first Honorary Command Chief at the Department of Defense’s largest aerial port, Dover Air Force Base.

    Listen as S. Renee and I talk about:
    🛡️ workplace bullying and her journey from bullying to thriving.
    🌟 leadership influence and leadership’s critical role in shaping a positive work culture.
    🗣️ conversational generosity and how to encourage meaningful, inclusive conversations at work.

    Leverage Communicate for more Positive Culture

    Leverage Communicate for more Positive Culture

    ☀️ Conventional human resource management systems need revolutionizing or at least some innovation.
    Answer yes or no to this question: “Yes!” is the best answer, according to Dr. Joey’s guest on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast. Juan Betancourt said “Yes!” which led him to join Humantelligence as CEO. Juan is revolutionizing productivity, motivation, and employee retention while making it accessible to all. Think of his work as human connection for better collaboration. Companies like Walgreens, United Healthcare, Siemens, and Southwest Airlines have found immense value in his work.
    ☀️ Just so you know: 72% of teams say they struggle with communication. One day a week is lost due to poor communication. $12,506 is lost annually per employee due to poor communication.
    ☀️ AI tools can help organizations assess candidates' fit based on behaviors and work styles, and enhance the attraction of top talent while building effective teams.
    ☀️ AI can facilitate the understanding of your company’s actual versus desired culture, which allows you to create a more unified and satisfying work experience.
    ☀️ Ensuring human connection is vital even while AI offers efficiency in remote talent acquisition.
    For more information, you can visit the company website at www.humantelligence.com.
