FAITH CLARKE on Transformational Culture
10/12/23 • 51 min
In today's episode, I welcome Faith Clarke again to the podcast. In last season's episode, we discussed the decolonization of work.
In today's episode, we discuss how crucial the intersection of team dynamics and inclusivity is for our workplaces. Drawing on Faith's extensive experience and her latest book, we delve into the necessity of cultivating a work environment where everyone feels they belong.
We look at the systemic issues marred in our workplaces and their impact on team trust. We talk about the importance of investment in internal capacity, fostering interpersonal bonds, and acknowledging the value and privilege of each individual in shaping a supportive and adaptable work culture. We put the spotlight on homogeneous teams, scrutinizing how their dynamics can breed an 'extractive relationship' and provide insights on fostering more open conversations in team meetings.
Further, we turn our attention to meetings and how to transform them into breeding grounds for engagement and innovation. We touch on the essence of valuing people's voices, nurturing creative thinking, and discussing the cost of a lack of creativity in the workplace.
I hope you enjoy our conversation!

The US Health Disadvantage & How Businesses Can Help
Did you know that although one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the United States still lags behind in health metrics?
Join me on today's episode to unpack the US health landscape, exploring how fundamental needs like clean air, job security, and transportation are not met in many communities, directly impacting health conditions.
We delve into the role of stress in these conditions and how clinical interventions contribute only 10-20% of health outcomes. More importantly, we highlight how businesses - big and small - can play a significant role in improving this situation.
Switching gears to focus on small businesses, we discuss their crucial role in fostering equitable and thriving societies. With a staggering 70% of Americans trusting small businesses more than their larger counterparts, we believe they hold the key to driving meaningful change.
Further, we will examine how businesses can harness their resources to benefit communities, employees, and managers alike.
Thanks for listening.

Normalizing Mental Health Conversations at Work
In today's episode of The Hearth, we talk about mental health at the workplace.
Together, we'll explore the cost of mental health issues in the workplace, the stigma associated with it, and the transformative steps we can take to foster a healthier, more sustainable work ecosystem.
The first step towards change is understanding the magnitude of the problem.
Did you know that 20% of Americans have a reported mental health condition, with depression and anxiety costing us an estimated $210 billion every year?
And the cost of alcohol and substance abuse? A staggering $400 billion.
Not to mention the increase in suicide rates, the second leading cause of death for those between 15 and 24 years old. Yet, the stigma attached to mental health issues often prevents employees from seeking care.
In this episode, we'll debunk the myths surrounding these issues, encourage open dialogue, and scrutinize practical ways to build a more equitable and sustainable work environment.
I hope you enjoy today's episode.
